High voltage electrical insulation coating for refractory materials

Formula and process have been developed for coating refractory metal surfaces with high voltage electrical insulation for use at temperatures to 600 C. Coatings were specifically developed as an insulation for the surface of a perforated, molybdenum, ion-accelerator grid, but are not limited to this application.

The Varestraint test for refractory metals, task 2

The principles of the Varestraint test were applied to the evaluation of refractory metal alloys. This required development of a special test apparatus employing a modest specimen size for improved economy and compatible with the high purity inert atmosphere required for welding these alloys. Minimum specimen size is desirable because of the high cost of these alloys and also to permit timely testing of limited production developmental alloys. The Varestraint apparatus satisfies these requirements by providing a timely and economic test for hot crack sensitivity. This test can be used both for alloy development and production surveillance. The test apparatus was designed for use in vacuum purged dry boxes and is completely compatible with high purity inert atmosphere. Augmented strain can be varied continuously from 1/4% thru 4%. In addition to varying the augmented strain, the primary Varestraint variable, the effect on hot cracking of varying other weld parameters such as unit weld length heat input have also been studied. Test reproducibility, in terms of bending or strain rate, was demonstrated using high speed photography.
