Tests show that aluminum welds are improved by bead removal

Tests with 2218-T87 aluminum alloy plate indicate improvements in strength, ductility, fatigue properties, and burst pressure result when one or both of the top and bottom weld beads are removed. There is, however, a drop in yield strength. The consistency of test data is considerably improved by weld bead removal.

Coating protects magnesium-lithium alloys against corrosion

Coating protects newly developed magnesium-lithium alloys against corrosion. The procedure includes heating the ingots in a salt bath and rolling them to the desired sheet thickness. The black coating, which is tough though thin and ductile, is derived mainly from chromium.

Thoriated tungsten tube provides improved high temperature thermocouple sheath

Thermocouple tubing of thoriated tungsten with a very fine grain structure produces a small-diameter sheath capable of operating up to 5000 degrees R in a hydrogen and graphite environment. This tubing remains ductile and resists both grain growth and carbiding even after prolonged exposure to temperature.

Pre-weld heat treatment improves welds in Rene 41

Cooling of Rene 41 prior to welding reduces the incidence of cracking during post-weld heat treatment. The microstructure formed during the slow cooling rate favors elevated temperature ductility. Some vestiges of this microstructure are apparently retained during welding and thus enhance strain-age crack resistance in air.

Hot-cracking studies of Inconel 718 weld- heat-affected zones

Hot ductility tests, gas-tungsten-arc fillerless fusion tests, and circle patch-weld-restraint tests were conducted on Inconel 718 to better understand and correlate the weldability /resistance to hot cracking/ of the alloy. A correlation of the test results with composition, heat-treat condition, grain size, and microstructure was made.

Two-step rocket engine bipropellant valve concept

Initiating combustion of altitude control rocket engines in a precombustion chamber of ductile material reduces high pressure surges generated by hypergolic propellants. Two-step bipropellant valve concepts control initial propellant flow into precombustion chamber and subsequent full flow into main chamber.
