Materials research - diffusion bonding methods, stress corrosion tests, nondestructive testing, material designs for electronic equipment, and nonmetallic material development.
This article recounts briefly some of the more critical stress-corrosion failures that have been experienced at Marshall Space Flight Center and the corrective action taken. Some of the recent stress corrosion studies are described and preliminary results tabulated. Specific problems described are the H-1 Engine LOX dome, the pneumatic line fitting sleeve problems and the more recent problem with wave springs used on MF-flared tube fittings. The use of nitric oxide in preventing stress-corrosion failures in titanium tanks is also discussed.
The 2nd Aerospace Mechanisms Symposium, held at the University of Santa Clara on May 4-5, 1967, was sponsored by the University of Santa Clara, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Lockheed Missiles and Space Company. The Symposium brought together approximately 200 representatives of more than 50 organizations concerned with mechanisms for use in space.
