Corrosion of 2-S Aluminum in Potassium Tetraborate Solution (open access)

Corrosion of 2-S Aluminum in Potassium Tetraborate Solution

From summary: "A laboratory test was conducted to determine the feasibility of using an uninhibited solution of potassium tetraborate in steam condensate as a material for a pile ink facility. The evaluation was made from the standpoints of 2-5 aluminum corrosion, the rate and composition of film build-up on aluminum flow surfaces, and the change of solution composition."

Examination of Donut on Rupture Slug No. 14 (open access)

Examination of Donut on Rupture Slug No. 14

Pursuant to Dr. Kingdon's request for specific information concerning the donut pictured on pages 26-29 of WAPD-64, a close examination of this defect on Failure No. 14 was made. The slug was examined through 10 inches of Pb-glass and photographs were made. A clay impression of the surface area containing the donut was obtained, and using this impression, an Armstrong's Adhesive replica of this can wall surface area was cast.
