Filling Instructions for the Pratt & Whitney Forced Convection Liquid Metal Inpile Loop Experiment (PW19)

Description: The apparatus and procedures that are to be used to fill the liquid metal system of the Pratt and Whitney Forced Convection Liquid Metal Inpile Loop are described. The liquid metal to be used is a mixture containing 56% Na and 44% K, which is a liquid at room temperature. In order to simplify the filling procedure at the reactor site, two containers, each of which contains exactly enough liquid metal to fill the experiment to the prescribed level, a fill dolly incorporating a purified helium sy… more

Braze Alloys v.s. Atmospheres : Final Report Project 1325

Description: Summary. At the time this project was initiated, all brazing had been confined to small retorts of ten cubic feet capacity or less. Larger assemblies were scheduled which required retorts of over 100 cubic feet capacity. Hydrogen atmospheres had given the best results, however, there was considerable reluctance to use hydrogen in these large retorts from a safety standpoint. It was thought that thru the use of PMC 2252, an argon - 2 1/2% hydrogen gas atmosphere which in non-explosive, suffici… more

Weldability of Hayes Alloy #25

Description: Technical report describing the process to determine the fusion welding characteristics of Haynes Alloy #25 as applied to TLJ-100530, Corrosion Loops. Hayes Stellite Alloy #25 is a cobalt-base alloy for corrosion resistant high temperature applications. This material, when welded by the inert gas shielded tungsten arc method, produces sound ductile joints. Material thicknesses greater than 12 gauge require standard joint preparations, a V joint being preferred up to 1/4 inch and a U joint for … more

Survey: Oxidation Characteristics of Columbium and Columbium Base Alloys

Description: Unclassified experimental data concerned with the oxidation characteristics of Nb and Nb-base alloys are presented. The bulk of the results is presented in tabular form and cataloged under laboratory name sub-headings. The theory of alloy development for oxidation resistance is discussed. Methods of evaluating oxidation behavior are outlined.

Braze Ring Mold for Sintering & Casting

Description: Technical report of an investigation to determine a suitable material for sintering and casting of braze rings. Braze rings afford an excellent means of preplacing braze alloy on tube to head joints of radiators, heat exchangers, and similar applications. A cast ring is especially desirable because of its increased strength. Previous efforts at casting had used welding grade carbon blocks with the desired ring cavities machined into their surface. Conclusion: Stackpole grade 331 electro-graphi… more

Bonding of Tantalum

Description: Technical report describing the investigation undertaken to determine the necessary requirements for obtaining sound bonded joints on tantalum. Corrosion and Mass Transfer Loops LTTN 237A and 427 called for fabrication of 430 stainless steel clad tantalum tubing. Since there was little or no experience at welding this material at CANEL, specimens were welded using vacuum chambers and plastic chambers as normally used for loop fabrication. Resistance welding was performed without the use of a … more

Producibility of an Alloy of Columbium with One Percent Zirconium

Description: Abstract. Proven mineral resources show that niobium is the most abundant of the refractory metals and extraction capacity is adequate to meet foreseeable requirements. Approximately four tons of Nb-1% Zr alloy were melted, forged, drawn, and rolled to produce various mill forms and relatively large die impression forgings. It was demonstrated that the Nb-1% Zr alloy is readily amenable to melting, primary working, and secondary working using standard equipment available in the specialty steel … more
