Effect of Variables in Welding Technique on the Strength of Direct-Current Metal-Arc-Welded Joints in Aircraft Steel 2 - Repeated-Stress Tests of Joints in SAE 4130 Seamless Steel Tubing

Description: "A series of tests were made for the purposes of establishing the effects of several variables in welding technique on the fatigue strength of arc-welded joints in SAE 4130 seamless steel tubing. The variables included type of electrode, speed of welding, current, position, amount of preheat, and other factors which in turn controlled the weld contour, penetration, and depth of the heat-affected zone. A range of joint design was also investigated" (p. 1).

Review of stuck slugs

Description: Records show that difficulty has been encountered with the discharge of two tubes in B Pile, twelve in the D Pile, and fifteen in the F Pile during the period from initial start-up until March 15, 1948. In sixteen cases the tubes have been replaced, six of the tubes which were in the fringe have been made air tubes, four did not warrant replacement, and three are to be replaced in the future. General statistics for these twenty-nine tubes are presented with additional details in this report.

Analysis for C{sup 14} and S{sup 35} in urine

Description: On June 1, 1948, a fire in the neoprene seal at 100-F Area potentially exposed nine to radioactive. An overnight collection of urine was made from these men and the samples submitted, along with a piece of neoprene seal, to the H.I. Development Laboratory for analysis. It is the purpose of this report to present the results of our investigation as to the type of contamination from the burning neoprene and the amount of contamination found in the urine sample.

Graphite contaminant tests for DR&H piles (C-206A, HW24, C-165A, HW24)

Description: This report outlines plans for tests of the graphite stack during lay up in the pile structures. Measurements are planned upon completion of layers 20, 60, and 102, which will require not more than 16 hours each.

Directive No. HEW-77

Description: As work on the Columbia Basin irrigation project on the Columbia River is in the initial stages, the question of the effect of this project of the mineral content of the Columbia River has been raised. As an increase in dissolved mineral matter would seem to be likely, it was felt that quantitative estimate of the magnitude of this increase would be important, specifically with reference to the retaining of the demineralization plant at 100-D Area. Accordingly, a study has been made of the prob… more
