Fabrication processes for producing refractory metal alloy wire
Physical and mechanical properties of rhenium, technetium, hafnium, noble metals, and related alloys reviewed in terms of availability and costs
Adhesive properties of metal, glass, ceramic, polymer, and mineral combinations in ultrahigh vacuum
Compatibility of refractory metals with liquid Hg, Cs, K, Na and Li, noting resistance to corrosion
Metal-nonmetal transition in n- and p-type Si from high magnetic field galvanometric measurements, noting abnormally large magnetoresistance accompanied by Hall coefficient increase
Etchant containing chloroplatinous or chloroplatinic acid greatly reduces contact resistance between metallic surfaces. Etching results in a monolayer plating of platinum on the wafer surface, preventing oxide growth.

A description is given of the design and fabrication of candidate flame-resistant woven and knitted fabrics, tapes, webbings, and cords as replacements for those items used in the Apollo spacecraft which were previously made of nylon and polyester. Structures made from Chromel R metal fibers (74% Ni, 20% Cr, 2-1/2% Fe, 2-1/2% Al, 1/2% Si, 1/2% Mo), Beta glass fibers and high-temperature organic fibers such as PBI (polybenzimidazole) were developed and evaluated. The feasibility of improving the performance of selected fabrics by using CNR (carboxy nitroso rubber) or other nonflammable coatings were also investigated.
A glass suitable for glass-to-metal seals that has a resistance to attack by moisture and a high coefficient of linear thermal expansion is introduced. Linear expansion covers the range from 12 to 14 x 10 to the minus 6 C between room temperature and 500 C. The glass is essentially composed of, by molar percent, about 9% of K2O, about 10% of Na2O, about 70% of SiO2, about 6% Al2O3, and about 5% of MgO.
Materials were studied as candidates for development as potential new aircraft brake lining materials. These families were (1) copper-graphite composites; (2) nickel-graphite composites; (3) copper - rare-earth-oxide (gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) or lanthanum oxide (La2O3)) composites and copper - rare-earth-oxide (La2O3) - rare-earth-fluoride (lanthanum fluoride (LaF3)) composites; (4) nickel - rare-earth-oxide composites and nickel - rare-earth-oxide - rare-earth-fluoride composites. For comparison purposes, a currently used metal-ceramic composite was also studied. Results showed that the nickel-Gd2O3 and nickel-La2O3-LaF3 composites were comparable or superior in friction and wear performance to the currently used composite and therefore deserve to be considered for further development.
A technique for simulating high g level pyrotechnic shocks is described and the results of applying the technique to obtain the MIL-STD-1540A shock spectrum with a maximum acceleration of 18,000g at 2,000 Hz are presented. Designing the resonant beam and plate on which the test unit is mounted, and generating a proper impulsive load on them, were the essentials of the technique. One dimensional stress wave and Euler equations were employed in the design. A metal pendulum hammer was used to generate the impulsive load.
The measured sensitivity of interface wave attenuation to defects near the bondline and to variations in the viscosity of the adhesive layer was compared with theoretical changes predicted by the Rokhin model. Differential interferometric optical measurements of interface wave attenuation due to defects near glass polymer metal boundaries are discussed. Pitch catch and pulse echo methods which use variable angle wedge transducers to generate and receive modified interface waves and to measure large bondline defects and adhesive viscosity are described.
