Fracture Toughness of DMMC
The fracture toughness of discontinuous metal matrix composites (DMMC) is always less than the fracture toughness of the matrix, in the same heat treatment or annealed condition. If a...
Production of Lunar Oxygen, Iron, Magnesium, and Silicon by Aqueous Hydrofluoric Acid Leaching
Aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF) processing of lunar regolith offers the versatile options of lunar iron and oxygen production by room temperature electrolysis as well as the extraction...
Explosive Forming of Aluminum-Lithium Alloys
This paper proposes the use of explosive forming to form large, near net shape components for HLLV propellant tanks and structures in meeting this need. Combining with high strength to...
An Electrochemical Approach to Predicting Corrosion Performance of Container Materials
The pitting potentials of nickel-rich Alloy 825 are measured in chloride-containing solutions at different temperatures and adjusted to different pH values. The pitting potentials were...
Potential Uses of Lead in Nuclear Waste Disposal
In order for lead to be considered as a nuclear waste packaging material, it must be shown that it has adequate corrosion resistance, and that it does not degrade the properties of other...
Future Supply of, and Demand for, Titanium, Copper and Lead
A literature survey has been conducted to assess the future world supply of, and demand for, titanium, copper and lead. These metals are candidates for the fabrication of containers for...
Observations of Microcracking and Pore Collapse in Limestone Using Liquid Metal Porosimetry
A technique has been developed to preserve and observe the microstructure of rock or other porous material, as they exist under stresses, using liquid metal porosimetry. Cylindrical specimens...
Weld Overlaying with a Cavitation-Resistant Alloy
The characteristics and applications of a cavitation-resistant alloy, Hydroloy HQ913, are described. The alloy as weld overlays applied on hydropower plant components by covered electrodes...
Effect of Microporosity on Notched Specimen Fatigue Life
The present work examines notched fatigue performance of aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 thick plate containing microporosity. Open hole fatigue specimens from low microporosity and high microporosity...
Distribution of Variance of Fatigue Lives of Ferrous Metals by the Analysis of Fatigue Strength Database
The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution characteristics of variance of fatigue lives of carbon and alloy steels, especially from the viewpoint of their dependence on...
Impact of Metallic Solders on Water Quality
A description is given of first-draw water testing at residences in a Long Island, N. Y. , water district. Results for heavy metals, particularly lead, leaching from the solder and plumbing...
Adsorption and Release of Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soil
This study investigated the adsorption and release rates of toxic metals in soil type associated with hazardous waste sites common to the Northeastern United States. Five heavy metals...
