Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Repair Of Cracks And Spalls Within The Concrete Facade Covering The Runit Island Waste Containment Structure

The concrete repair shall be performed using a combination of pre-packaged cement-based mortar (Structural Concrete® V/O) supplied by Five Star Products, Inc., and CRACKBOND® products from Adhesive Technology Corp., Pompano Beach, Florida. Five Star Structural Concrete® V/O is a high strength, rapid setting, one component, permanent concrete repair material used primarily for vertical and overhead structural repairs. The material produces a repair which is dimensionally stable, develops an integral bond to existing concrete, and restores structural integrity within hours of placement (Five Star DESIGN-A-SPEC™ Guidelines). The CRACKBOND® family of products are two component, high strength structural epoxy formulations specifically designed to repair cracks in concrete.

Solutions for discharge chamber sputtering and anode deposit spalling in small mercury ion thrusters

Small electron bombardment mercury ion thrusters are considered for attitude-control and station-keeping operations in the case of earth synchronous satellites. The required operational lifetimes of the order of 20,000 hours could present problems because of the occurrence of sputter erosion of thruster discharge chamber components. The investigation reported is concerned with a study of these problems and the development of approaches for overcoming them.

A precoat prevents ceramic stopoffs from spalling

Nickel-alloy precoat applied with plasmagun improves adhesion of ceramic materials applied to protect areas from unintentional brazing. Metal surface should be grit-blasted before precoating. Coating does not interfere with brazing or contaminate vacuum pumping systems.

Correlation of compressive stress with spalling of plasma sprayed ceramic materials

Ceramics on metal substrates for potential use as high temperature seals or other applications are exposed to forces originating from differences in thermal expansion between the ceramic and the metal substrate. This report develops a relationship between the difference in expansion of the ceramic and the substrate, defines conditions under which shear between the ceramic and the substrate occurs, and those under which bending forces are produced in the ceramic. The off-axis effect of compression forces resulting from high temperature plastic flow of the ceramic producing buckling of the ceramic is developed. Shear is associated with the edge or boundary stresses on the component while bending is associated with the distortion of an interior region. Both modes are significant in predicting life of the ceramic.
