Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium: Quarterly Report Number 2, December 1961 - March 1962 (open access)

Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium: Quarterly Report Number 2, December 1961 - March 1962

Abstract: "The purpose of this investigation is to determine the extent to which zirconium and zirconium alloys exhibit delayed failure (static fatigue) as caused by a combination of absorbed hydrogen and applied stress. Both notched and unnotched specimens of unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 have been hydrogenated to 200 ppm by means of a modified Sieverts apparatus; specimens were evaluated at room temperature. Thus far, no time-dependent fracture has been observed which can be attributed to the delayed failure phenomenon; it appears that these materials are relatively insensitive to static fatigue. The effects of grain size, temperature, cold deformation, and superheated water and steam corrosion on susceptibility to delayed failure are being determined."

Electrostatic Classification of Submicron Airborne Particles : Progress Report, February 1 to March 31, 1962 (open access)

Electrostatic Classification of Submicron Airborne Particles : Progress Report, February 1 to March 31, 1962

Introduction: "This project is a study of eletrostatic classification of submicron aerosols with emphasis on particles below 0.1[mu]. Previous work has shown that classification of particles between 0.1 to 1.0[mu] is feasible by this process. Further improvements along this line include the elimination of interference from initial aerosol charge and increase in sampling rate. The effect of heavy deposits on collection have to be established. More information is desired on the charging regime below 0.1[mu]. Also the overlap of the smallest particles with the larger ones has to be eliminated. It is also of interest to study the possibility of measuring the current due to the precipitating particles. This would make it possible to automate the device. During this period project work was initiated again. There was some delay in finalizing the contract and the laboratory work was not started until early in March."

Electrostatic Classification of Submicron Airborne Particles : Progress Report, June 1 to August 1, 1962

Introduction: "This project is a study of electrostatic classification of submicron aerosols, with emphasis on particles smaller than 0.1 micron. The overlap of the smallest particles with the larger ones is of principal concern. Also, a faster sampling rate is desired, i.e., heavier deposits in a shorter time are necessary. During the period covered by this report, work was concerned with studies of charging by corona and diffusion, neutralization of initial charge, and classification of various types if aerosols."

Electrostatic Classification of Submicron Airborne Particles : Progress Report, August 1 to October 1, 1962 (open access)

Electrostatic Classification of Submicron Airborne Particles : Progress Report, August 1 to October 1, 1962

Introduction: "This study is concerned with the classification of submicron aerosols by electrostatic means. The controlled charging of the particles without undue aerosol losses is of principal interest. We are investigating means of eliminating the interference due to the deposition of small and large particles in the same area. The sampler is to be developed to classify atmospheric dust particles at a rate approaching 1 cfm. During the period covered by this report, work was concerned with the charger and with bringing the high-volume classifier into routing operation. Further tests were made on the classification of atmospheric dust."

Electrostatic Classification of Submicron Airborne Particles : Progress Report, October 1 to December 1, 1962

Introduction: "One of the major objectives of this study is to develop a routine charger that has no aerosol losses. Also, the interference due to deposition of small and large particles in the same area must be overcome. During this period efforts were concentrated on the former problem, which is the key to practical application of this device."

Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium: Quarterly Report Number 1, September - December 1961

Abstract: "The purpose of this investigation is to determine the extent to which zirconium exhibits delayed failure (static fatigue) as caused by a combination of absorbed hydrogen and applied stress. Both notched and unnotched specimens of unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 are being initially hydrogenated to 200 ppm by means of a modified Sieverts apparatus, and delayed failure studies are proceeding at room-temperature. Thus far only preliminary data on unnotched, unalloyed zirconium are available; at the 200 ppm hydrogen level, this material appears to be relatively insensitive to delayed failure at room-temperature."
