Aluminum and magnesium composite sheet laminates reinforced with low density, high strength modular filament sheets are produced by diffusion bonding and explosive bonding. Both processes are accomplished in normal atmosphere and require no special tooling or cleaning other than wire brushing the metal surfaces just prior to laminating.
Connector plug automatically minimizes arcing during mating and demating. This plug uses a high-resistivity outer sheath as an extension to the regular pin contact. It is used in atmospheres containing explosive gases, and reduces erosion at the contact surfaces where mating and demating are performed frequently.
Chemistry laboratory safety manual outlines safe practices for handling hazardous chemicals and chemistry laboratory equipment. Included are discussions of chemical hazards relating to fire, health, explosion, safety equipment and procedures for certain laboratory techniques and manipulations involving glassware, vacuum equipment, acids, bases, and volatile solvents.

This report covers a comprehensive research study of Androforming, explosive forming, and stretch forming as applied to shaping a parabolic reflector segment for use in a solar furnace. Development efforts were directed toward attaining accurate part contour, and assurance of process reproducibility. The three forming processes mentioned above were investigated by qualified contractors. Three test segments formed by each method along with a detailed analysis were submitted to MSFC. It was concluded that optimum results could be obtained with the stretch forming process. The three test segments of the solar concentrator tha.t were produced by this method, and evaluated optically, revealed a maximum contour deviation of O. 76 degrees.
