Fabrication and Properties of Hot-Pressed Molybdenum Disilicide

Description: Report presenting an investigation of hot-pressed molbdenum disilicide bodies produced by industrial processes at a temperature of 2950 degrees and a pressure of 3000 pounds per square inch. Results regarding the short-time tensile strength, stress-rupture data, compression strength, air-corrosion resistance, hardness, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and density are provided.

Effect of prestraining of recrystallization temperature and mechanical properties of commercial, sintered, wrought molybdenum

Description: Given three presumably identical lots of commercial, sintered, wrought molybdenum, the 1-hour recrystallization temperature of one lot remained above 2900 F by limiting the amount of effective restraining to 35 percent or less. Different recrystallization temperatures were obtained in various atmospheres, the highest in argon and the lowest in hydrogen. Metal thus fabricated and then stress-relieved possessed an ultimate tensile strength at room temperature within 10 percent of metal swaged 99 … more

Experimental Investigation of Air-Cooled Turbine Blades in Turbojet Engine. 7: Rotor-Blade Fabrication Procedures

Description: "An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the cooling effectiveness of a wide variety of air-cooled turbine-blade configurations. The blades, which were tested in the turbine of a - commercial turbojet engine that was modified for this investigation by replacing two of the original blades with air-cooled blades located diametrically opposite each other, are untwisted, have no aerodynamic taper, and have essentially the same external profile. The cooling-passage configuration is … more

Preliminary investigation of the heat shock resistant properties of molybdenum disilicide blades under centrifugal load

Description: An investigation to determine the heat-shock resistant properties of two molybdenum disilicide turbine blades under centrifugal loads imposed by turbine rotation is presented. Molybdenum disilicide turbine blades fabricated by hot-pressing techniques withstood heat-shock conditions under blade centrifugal stresses up to 5350 pounds per square inch. Additional development is required before the heat-shock resistant properties of molybdenum disilicide are satisfactory for turbine-blade applicatio… more

A specially constructed metallograph for use at elevated temperatures

Description: "A metallographic microscope was developed with provision for heating a specimen to 1800 F in protective atmospheres, that is, vacuum or gas. A special objective was constructed of reflecting elements with an unusually long working distance (7/16 in.) and a high numerical aperture (0.5). Changes in specimen microstructure were observed and recorded on 35-millimeter motion-picture film. The resulting pictures were projected as motion pictures and individual frames were cut and enlargements made … more

Effect of processing variables on the transition temperature, strength, and ductility of high-purity, sintered, wrought molybdenum metal

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effect of processing variables on the properties of sintered, wrought molybdenum. The amount of swaging, recrystallization, and stress-relieving were considered.
