Unfortunately, all four of the traditional refractory metals have little or no resistance to oxidation in the service temperature range. Niobium and tantalum are the most versatile refractory metals due to their relative ease of fabrication (because of excellent room temperature ductility and low ductile-to-brittle transition temperature, DBTT) and …

The lattice distortion is ignored in VCA, due to the limits of effective medium method.
