ALT-GTS-Stem Fabrication

Description: In 2007, a study investigated options to manufacture stems utilizing methods that would replace crush form grinding while maintaining or improving quality at a comparative cost. Crush form grinding is a special process used at the Kansas City Plant to finish stem sections of reservoir products. However, crush form grinding is a complex process with many variables affecting the final product. This study identified two potential methods that can be applied to stems. Profile grinding was investiga… more

Adjustable Shock Test Sled for Haversine Pulses at 250 fps

Description: New test requirements were developed by Sandia National Laboratory to simulate a regime of shock testing not previously performed at the Kansas City Plant operated by Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies. These environments were unique in that they involved amplitude of shock >1000g with relatively long pulse durations (greater 5 ms but less than 10 ms) and involved velocity changes up to 235 ft/sec. Ten months were available to develop, design, manufacture and prove-in this new capab… more

Crush Grinding

Description: Crush Grinding is a special process used at the Kansas City Plant to finish stem sections of reservoir products. In this process, a precise profile of the desired product is formed on a tungsten carbide roll. This roll slowly transfers a mirror image of the profile onto the grinding surface of a wheel. The transfer rate of the profile is between 0.001 and 0.010 inches per minute. Crush grinding is desirable since it provides consistent surface finishes and thin walls at a high production rate. … more

FILL STEM MANUFACTURING CHANGES AND PINCH WELD QUALIFICATIONS

Description: In March of 2007 a document was issued, see attachment I, that defined the test protocol and required welding for the Kansas City Plant to change cutting oils from the recently approved 50:50 oil to an oil with similar characteristics but with different chemistry, additives, and possibly a different vendor due to plans by the current vendor to stop preparing the oils that are used in the KCP 50:50 mix. The KCP manufactured stems with the existing 50:50 oil blend in late FY07 and SRNL welded the… more

An Assessment of the Bioaccumulation of PCBs and Chloridane Near the U.S. Department of Energy's Kansas City Plant

Description: Studies conducted by the Missouri Department of Conservation in the late 1980s found high levels of PCBs and chlordane in fish from the Blue River near the Kansas City Plant (KCP). Follow-on biomonitoring studies by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) staff from 1991-1993 (Southworth et al. 1992, Ashwood et al. 1993, Ashwood and Peterson 1994), and again on a more limited basis in 1998 (Ashwood 1998), were conducted for the KCP. The studies in the early 1990s characterized concentrations of PC… more

Prevention of Reservoir Interior Discoloration

Description: Contamination is anathema in reservoir production. Some of the contamination is a result of welding and some appears after welding but existed before. Oxygen was documented to be a major contributor to discoloration in welding. This study demonstrates that it can be controlled and that some of the informal cleaning processes contribute to contamination.

DNC / CRONOS Deployment 703040

Description: KCP tested a classified DNC / CRONOS as a pilot project in FY06 in the Reservoir Machining area. The pilot proved as a successful way to distribute classified NC Programs to machines that run both classified and unclassified programs securely. This also allows for elimination of CREM for machines which had to swap out classified and unclassified hard drives previously. This project’s purpose is to rollout this technology to the remaining machining areas, predominately Department B, Department C… more

Process waste assessment: Kodalith/contact print processing. Final report

Description: This process waste assessment was performed to determine quantitatively the chemicals used in the Kodalith/contact printing process, to determine their ultimate destination, and to explore options for reduced usage. It was discovered that, because of increased use of computer graphics, the volume of chemicals used for this process has been greatly diminished; however, limited technology precludes total elimination of the Kodalith process. Of three options explored, only the purchase of a laser … more
