Electron beam seals outer surfaces of porous bodies

Porous tungsten plugs provide even airflow for frictionless bearings used in air bearing supported gyros. The plugs have their outer cylindrical surface sealed by an electron beam process to ensure unidirectional airflow through their exit ends.

Hydrostatic testing of porous assemblies

Pores of the material were plugged with dust particles suspended in water. The plugging material used was a standard test dust prepared as a slurry in distilled water. This technique provides a permanent high-integrity seal for porous material without affecting its physical properties, yet permitting pressure testing to verify structural adequacy.
