Electroless nickel and ion-plated protective coatings for silvered glass mirrors

Description: A preliminary examination of two methods of protecting second surface silvered glass mirrors from environmental degradation is presented. One method employed silver mirrors overcoated with Al, Ni, 304 stainless steel, Cr, or an Al/Cu alloy prepared by ion-plating. The other method used conventional wet process silver mirrors protected with a thin electroless nickel coating. No attempt was made to optimize the coatings for either method. These experimental mirrors were compared with conventional… more

Localized corrosion in materials for geothermal power. Final report

Description: The influence of 16 different geothermally related environments on a number of potentially useful steels was examined for both general and localized corrosion and at ambient and 150/sup 0/C. Variation in chloride concentration of 1 to 20% generally demonstrated only minor aggressiveness in acidified solutions. In general, the presence of H/sub 2/S raised the corrosion rate. However, very low concentrations (10 ppM) indicated higher rates than in saturated brines. This is rationalized on the bas… more

Long-term creep testing of 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel in HTGR helium

Description: Long-term creep tests have been conducted on three heats of 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo ferritic steel, a candidate alloy for a number of applications in gas-cooled reactors. These tests, run at temperatures from 482 to 649/sup 0/C, have reached times of 40,000 h and greater. Essentially no effect of environment, either air or simulated gas-cooled reactor helium, was seen at temperatures up to about 600/sup 0/C. At the highest test temperature the creep behavior of the steel was degraded both by oxidation in… more

Compatibility of stainless steel with Pb-17 AT. % Li

Description: The corrosion of type 316 stainless steel and Sandvik HT9 by static Pb-17 at. % Li between 300 and 500/sup 0/C was studied. The resulting weight losses were significantly greater than those of these steels in lithium. The corrosive attack was very uniform, and the room-temperature tensile properties of the steels were unaffected by the exposure. The application of molten Pb-17 at. % Li as a tritium-breeding fluid in conjunction with ferrous alloys in a fusion reactor may be limited to 400/sup 0… more

Study of the Effects of Austenitizing and Tempering Heat Treatments on the Alloy HT-9

Description: This paper investigates the potential use of the ferritic alloy Sandvik HT-9 (12 Cr - 1 Mo) as an alternative to stainless steels used in high-neutron-fluence environments. The neutron radiation influences embrittlement where the impact-energy versus test-temperature curve is seen displaced to the right. As a result, commercially effective solutioning and tempering processes are needed to suppress this effect in the pre-irradiated condition. The effects of austenitizing treatments on the impact… more
