Abstract: "Tungsten-rich alloys, developed for use at temperatures up to 2000F, exhibit ductility, fabricability and joinability not found in commercially-available materials. An envelope type of microstructure was produced in compositions containing at least 90 wt% tungsten by liquid-phase sintering of cold-pressed powders in hydrogen. At room temperature the alloys could be rolled extensively, and tensile elongations up to 25% were noted. Strength properties of a W-Ni-Fe base were improved by small quaternary additions. The ultimate tensile strength of a 90W-4.8Ni-3.2Fe-2Ru alloy was 46,700 psi at 2000F, compared to 30,000 - 35,000 psi for unalloyed tungsten or W-Ni-Fe; the 100-hour stress-rupture strength at 1600F was 15,000 psi. Excellent joints were produced by spot welding and localized induction heating. The oxidation resistance of unprotected 90 wt% tungsten compositions was not significantly affected by alloying."

The following document is a note describing the process of building a nuclear density gauge and its improved features in comparison to previously reported density gauges.

"Abstract: The advantages of storing nuclear pulse height information on tape for later use with an analyzer are pointed out. Experiments with a magnetic modulator playback head which would offset inaccuracies due to tape speed variation are described. (T.R.H.)."

The following document is an updated note on the process of building an improved nuclear density gauge within the time interval of September 2 to October 1, 1959.
