Mechanism of hot salt stress corrosion cracking of titanium base alloys
Interdisciplinary materials research, polymers, alloys, metals, molecules and salts
The Thermal Stability of Hydrazine has been studied in the temperature and pressure intervals of 175" to 250"C. and 300 to 430 p.s.i., Respectively. Previous studies of the decomposition of hydrazine indicated that several factors affect its stability (2, 5, 7). the rate of decomposition is increased by the presence of certain surfaces (especially metals and salts). pH, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Further explosive decomposition Is attributable to the uncontrolled heterogeneous, gas-phase decomposition. These factors were considered in selecting the following experimental conditions: highly purified hydrazine was prepared in a nitrogen atmosphere, and this product was decomposed over triply distilled mercury in outgassed borosilicate glass tubes at ullages that were initially zero. This study also included the effects of added quantities of ammonia on the rate of decomposition and an investigation of the products of the decomposition.

Hot salt stress corrosion cracking in titanium alloys - chloride corrosion role determination using chlorine isotopes and relation between crack morphology and alloy structure
In ball milling metal powders to submicron size, various salts are more effective as grinding aids than conventional surfactants. Absolute ethyl alcohol is used as the grinding liquid.
Standard compositions suitable for electron probe microanalysis of various silicates are prepared by coprecipitation of specified salts with colloidal silica to form a gel which is decomposed into a powdered oxide mixture and compressed into thin pellets. These pellets of predetermined standard are compared with a silicate sample to determine its composition.
Elementary sulfur mixed into a solution of caustic soda and salts produces an etchant which will chemically mill end-grain surfaces on aluminum plate. This composition results in the least amount of thickness variation and pitting.
Steel and tantalum apparatus contains various ternary alloys of cadmium, zinc, and magnesium used in pyrochemical processes for the recovery of uranium-base reactor fuels. These materials exhibit good corrosion resistance at the high temperatures necessary for fuel separation in liquid metal-molten salt solvents.

Cells using amalgam-insoluble salt electrodes and examination of dense electrolytic solutions
Treating organic polymers with iodine improves the electrical conductivity. Diffusion enables products of desired properties to be custom formulated. This eliminates a buildup of static electricity and the need for fillers or bound metal salts.
Coating protects newly developed magnesium-lithium alloys against corrosion. The procedure includes heating the ingots in a salt bath and rolling them to the desired sheet thickness. The black coating, which is tough though thin and ductile, is derived mainly from chromium.
Solution of hydrogen flouride, hydrogen peroxide, and water reveals hot salt stress corrosion cracks in various titanium alloys. After the surface is rinsed in water, dried, and swabbed with the solution, it can be observed by the naked eye or at low magnification.
Preparation of a xenon hexafluoride and sodium fluoride salt yields a sample of the highest possible purity for use in thermal measurements. The desired hexafluoride can easily be freed from the common contaminants, xenon tetra-fluoride, xenon difluoride, and xenon oxide tetrafluoride, because none of these compounds reacts with sodium fluoride.
