MHD electrode development. Quarterly report, April-June 30, 1980
Description
Emphasis within this program is now being directed towards the engineering development of cold metallic electrodes, and in particular the identification and evaluation of alternatives to platinum for use as anodes. A literature search, concentrating on hot corrosion resistant alloys, has been undertaken and results are presented. In addition, results of platinum-copper diffusion studies and a preliminary evaluation of sputter coated specimens of TiB/sub 2/ clad copper are reported. Laboratory anode arc erosion studies have continued. A number of modifications incorporated in the test setup are described. This modified test arrangement has been used to obtain comparative data on a … continued below

Description
Emphasis within this program is now being directed towards the engineering development of cold metallic electrodes, and in particular the identification and evaluation of alternatives to platinum for use as anodes. A literature search, concentrating on hot corrosion resistant alloys, has been undertaken and results are presented. In addition, results of platinum-copper diffusion studies and a preliminary evaluation of sputter coated specimens of TiB/sub 2/ clad copper are reported. Laboratory anode arc erosion studies have continued. A number of modifications incorporated in the test setup are described. This modified test arrangement has been used to obtain comparative data on a number of potential anode metal alloys. Further work is required to refine the test, particularly to provide a reliable method of applying corrodent to the specimens under test. No significant laboratory electrochemical corrosion tests were completed during this reporting period. Facility test operations were suspended upon completion of WESTF Test 49 during the prior quarter to permit basic facility modifications in support of the addition of a 3 Tesla magnet. The status of design, procurement and modification activities is presented.
