Low Temperature Brazing: A Candidate Method for Preventing Interplanetary Contamination During the Mars Sample Return Mission

NASA and the European Space Agency are planning a joint Mars Sample Return campaign, scheduled to launch in 2026, with a very specific objective: return to Earth the rock and regolith samples that have been collected on Mars by NASA’s Perseverance rover. This is a very complex, multi-step process intended to culminate in the safe return of Mars samples to Earth. The term “safe return” implies use of a robust containment vessel designed to prevent any uncontained or unsterilized material from Mars from being returned to Earth. Hence, any technology chosen for sealing this vessel has to meet stringent contamination requirements, but also to withstand impact forces upon landing. This paper describes the development of a primary candidate for the sealing approach: brazing.

Testing of brazed and welded connections of stainless-steel tubing

Test procedures and results are given for three types of semipermanent sleeve-type connections for stainless-steel tubing. Subject to the limited resistances to corrosion and vibration, all three types are found to be suitable for extremes in reliability and environment, if given close control during manufacture.

Repair of brazed steel honeycomb-sandwich panels with vertical pins only

Vertical steel tubular pins restore the shear strength of honeycomb panels and improve the quality of the repaired panel. New repair method eliminates diagonal pins. Vertical pins are welded to face sheets, forming ''Vierendeel Truss'' arrangement to transmit shear loads.

Copper/nickel eutectic brazing of titanium

Technique joins titanium or one of its alloys to materials, such as iron, nickel or cobalt base material, or to refractory metals. To ensure formation of a satisfactory bond, the temperature, time, environment and pressure must be controlled.

Welding and brazing of nickel and nickel-base alloys

The joining of four types of nickel-base materials is described: (1) high-nickel, nonheat-treatable alloys, (2) solid-solution-hardening nickel-base alloys, (3) precipitation-hardening nickel-base alloys, and (4) dispersion-hardening nickel-base alloys. The high-nickel and solid-solution-hardening alloys are widely used in chemical containers and piping. These materials have excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and retain useful strength at elevated temperatures. The precipitation-hardening alloys have good properties at elevated temperature. They are important in many aerospace applications. Dispersion-hardening nickel also is used for elevated-temperature service.

Tool removes brazed fittings

Device, which removes fittings from thin-walled tubing, will not accidentally bond to fitting, nor will it cause tube wall to melt. Key feature is the use of expendable split-ring heat sink insert. Technique is applicable to fitting stubs of all sizes and wall thicknesses.

High-temperature brazing of stainless steel

Prevention of iron contamination of platens is eliminated by placing alumina/silica ceramic-fiber blankets between platens and carbon-steel plate. Carbon-steel plates provide rigidity and improve heat transfer.

Some properties of low-vapor-pressure braze alloys for thermionic converters

Property measurements were made for arc-melted, rod-shaped specimens. Density and dc electrical resistivity at 296 K were measured for various binary eutectic alloys. Thermal conductivity was inferred from the electrical conductivity using the Wiedemann, Franz, Lorenz relation. Linear thermal expansion from 293 K to two-thirds melting point, under a helium atmosphere, was measured for Zr, 21.7-wt percent Ru; Zr, 13-wt percent W; Zr, 22.3-wt percent Nb; Nb, 66.9-wt percent Ru; and Zr, 25.7-wt percent Ta.
