Repair of weld defects in thin-walled stainless steel tubes

Hand-operated tool repairs weld defects in large-diameter, thin-walled stainless steel tubes. Tool consists of a three-roll external planisher and an internal backup mandrel, both hydraulically pressurized by hand pumps, and an external restraining mandrel, which keeps the tube from turning during the planishing operations.

Tool repairs tube components in situ

Two versions of a portable tool repair the seats of tube fittings and the flared ends of tubing. Each version operates on the principle of lapping to remove imperfections from tube and fitting interfacing surfaces.

Practical field repair of fused slurry silicide coating for space shuttle t.p.s.

Study of short-time high-temperature diffusion treatments as part of a program of development of methods of reapplying fused slurry silicide coating in the field. The metallographic structure and oxidation behavior of R512E applied to Cb-752 coated under simulated field repair conditions was determined. Oxidation testing in reduced pressure environment has shown that performance equivalent to furnace-processed specimens can be obtained in a two-minute diffusion at 2700 F.

Metal fatigue damage - Mechanism, detection, avoidance, and repair.

Collection of theoretical and experimental studies covering basic mechanisms of fatigue in the subcreep and creep ranges, fatigue damage detection, field practices for fatigue damage repair in jet engine components, and fatigue damage avoidance and control. Individual items are abstracted in this issue.

A spacecraft computer repairable via command.

The MULTIPAC is a central data system developed for deep-space probes with the distinctive feature that it may be repaired during flight via command and telemetry links by reprogramming around the failed unit. The computer organization uses pools of identical modules which the program organizes into one or more computers called processors. The interaction of these modules is dynamically controlled by the program rather than hardware. In the event of a failure, new programs are entered which reorganize the central data system with a somewhat reduced total processing capability aboard the spacecraft. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of the system architecture and the final overall system design rather than the specific logic design.
