Preliminary Studies of Scavenging Systems Related to Radioactive Fallout : Summary Report, April 1, 1958 to March 31, 1959

Description: This report is the final in a series of preliminary reports that follow the studies of scavenging systems related to radioactive fallout. The project consisted of two phases: preliminary experiments to relate the sizes of particles in air to specific radioisotopes, and preliminary laboratory studies of scavenging of particles by liquid drops, including studies of sticking probability and effects of Brownian motion and water vapor diffusion.

Niobium Phase Diagrams : Manuscript Report on Niobium-Oxygen System

Description: Abstract: "The niobium-oxygen equilibrium has been determined by metallographic examination of arc-cast alloys made of electron-gun-refined niobium metal and special purity niobium pentoxide. Two intermediate oxides, NbO and NbO2, melt without decomposition at 1945 C and 1915 C, respectively. Eutectic reactions exist between niobium and NbO and 1915 C and between NbO and NbO2 at 1810 C. Experimental supports a peritectic reaction between NbO2 and Nb2O5 1510 C. The maximum solid solubility of ox… more

Niobium Phase Diagrams : Manuscript Report on Niobium-Carbon System

Description: Abstract: "The niobium-carbon system has been determined by X-ray and metallographic examination of sintered and arc-cast alloys. Two carbides exist: hexagonal Nb2C with a limited range of homogeneity, and cubic NbC with a solubility range from 8.25 to 10.25 weight per cent carbon. Dilute alloys freeze by eutectic reaction at 2230 C. The solubility of carbon in niobium is 0.80 at the eutectic temperature, but this decreases rapidly with temperature. Metallographic evidence indicates a peritecti… more

Development and Evaluation of High-Temperature Tungsten Alloys : Summary Report

Description: Abstract: "Tungsten-rich alloys, developed for use at temperatures up to 2000F, exhibit ductility, fabricability and joinability not found in commercially-available materials. An envelope type of microstructure was produced in compositions containing at least 90 wt% tungsten by liquid-phase sintering of cold-pressed powders in hydrogen. At room temperature the alloys could be rolled extensively, and tensile elongations up to 25% were noted. Strength properties of a W-Ni-Fe base were improved by… more

Isotopic sources of secondary radiation : second interim technical report covering the period from March 1 to July 1, 1959

Description: Summary. During the past year the work carried out in this program has included experiments on the x-ray output produced by the separated fission product beta sources, the interpretation of such experiments for the effective design of high level secondary x-ray sources, and the design and testing of prototype sources of secondary radiation for specific industrial applications. In this report results of work carried out during the past fours months are reported: (1) analysis of beta-excited x-… more

Magnetic Recorder for Nuclear Pulse Application : Covering the Period from October 6, 1959 to December 5, 1959

Description: "Abstract: Data on analog magnetic tape characteristics are presented along with results from conventional and modulator playback system operational tests. Theoretical considerations imply that the modulator head should be loss sensitive to short term variations in record and playback tape speed. It is also pointed out that although a tape recorder operating at 7.5 in./sec has only 12 kcs bandwidth for sinusoidal wave forms. the record and play-back amplifiers for pulse recording can operate wi… more
