Cerment composed of spheres of high-temperature metal coated with ceramic oxide offers increased strength for seals in thermionic diodes and other high-temperature environments.
Combination of refractory metal and ceramic substances forms stable crystalline alloy, exhibiting high resistance to thermal shock and oxidation.
An experimental system, designed to investigate the potential advantages of electrodeposition in microgravity, is being developed by the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company-Huntsville Division and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. It is intended to fly as an Orbiter payload when NASA resumes STS operations. The system will provide power, thermal conditioning, command and control for the production of electrodeposits; system performance data will be recorded for post-flight analysis. Plated metal surfaces will be created using simple electrolytic cells with pure metal electrodes immersed in aqueous electrolytic solutions. Crystalline structure and other properties will be analyzed to identify differences between samples produced in flight and those obtained from ground-based operations.
