Plastic Flow During Extrusion of Tubing

Description: Abstract: "A study of plastic flow during the extrusion of tubing was made by extruding colored Plasticine billets in a small-scale extrusion press. Decreasing the included angle of the conical die and tapering the ram end of the billet decreased the amount of coextrusion of the backer block into the tubing, lubricating the billet also decreased coextrusion."

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD OF THORIUM CHEMISTRY AND METALLURGY. Monthly Progress Report for March 15 thru April 15, 1955

Description: A transition program, eliminating most of the wet chemical techniques for the preparation of cell feed and replacing these with a high temperature chlorination process, was begun. Crushing tests on a Fitz mill were initiated and tentative conclusions are that this type of equipment as superior to a combination of jaw and roll crushing. Small scale chlorination experiments indicate the feasibility of pelletizing ThOCO/sub 3/ for feed to a eontinuous hightemperature chlorinator. (D.E.B.)

Effects of various modifications on the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a 0.065-scale model of the Chance Vought Regulus II missile at a Mach number of 2.01: TED No. NACA AD 398

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects on the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of various modifications to a 0.065-scale model of the Chance Vought Regulus II missile. Some of the modifications included control housing on top of the fuselage, two sizes of canard surfaces with fixed incidence angles, various angles of nose droop, and two types of inlet boundary-layer bleed diverters.

Lateral stability and control characteristics of the Convair XF-92A delta-wing airplane as measured in flight

Description: Report presenting the lateral stability and control characteristics were investigated on the Convair XF-92A delta-wing airplane during the flights of the NACA research program. The investigation included sideslips, aileron rolls, and rudder pulses at a range of altitudes and indicated speeds. The lateral handling characteristics appear satisfactory when viewed in terms of gradually increasing sideslips, lateral control effectiveness, and period, and damping.
