• Accelerated Life Testing
  thermistors to pass this test without failure. Salt Water Testing - Groups of thermistors are subjected to temperature cycling and immersion into both fresh and salt water. Salt and fresh water baths are prepared at temperatures of 0 C and 65 C. The transition between these temperatures is minimized (under...
• Characterization of Tensile Residual Stresses in 7050-T7651 Aluminum Friction Stir Welds (.pdf)
  Salt spray corrosion pits are a common site of fatigue crack initiation in aluminum alloy aircraft components. Salt corrosion pitting occurs during exposure to the marine atmosphere and results in intergranular corrosion to a depth dependent on the time of exposure, temperature, and the service...
• Effective Monitoring of Cooling Towers
  PCS Potash, New Brunswick Division PCS Potash New Brunswick Division is a potash and salt mine near Sussex, N.B., a small farming community in the southern part of the province. Potash and salt are mined approximately 2000 feet below the surface. The salt requires little processing and is used...
• Accident-Prone Flight Organizations
  In his submission to NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System, the pilot complained that his employer "has become increasingly confrontational, condescending and oppressive toward the pilot group. . . . This kind of atmosphere is fatiguing, numbing, unhealthy and downright dangerous to work...
• Improving Corrosion Fatigue Performance of AA2219 Friction Stir Welds with Low Plasticity Burnishing (.pdf)
  the weld region in high compression on the. order of -400 MPa. Fatigue testing was performed in. four-point bending at R=0.1 under constant stress. The. corrosion fatigue performance after 100 hours in 3.5%. salt fog improved from 175 MPa for a milled surface to. 225 MPa after LPB processing. LPB...
• Fatigue Life Improvement Of An Aluminum Alloy Fsw With Low Plasticity Burnishing (.pdf)
  with. of fatigue crack initiation in aluminum alloy. initiation from salt fog pitting. The analysis. structures. Salt corrosion pitting occurs. is performed with and without the including. during exposure to a marine atmosphere and. of the deep compressive residual stresses. results in intergranular...
• How to Select a HAST Chamber
  over long periods of testing and time. Means: Non-Condensing Atmosphere & absolutely No Rain....These two factors are enough to create Leakage paths leading to erroneous failure conditions. Explain why moving air with a fan in a HAST environment is an unnecessary complication and can be detrimental...
• Reducing Corrosion Fatigue And SCC Failures In 300m Steel Landing Gear Using Low Plasticity Burnishing (.pdf)
  and 0.1 respectively. Corrosion fatigue testing was. performed in neutral 3.5% NaCl salt solution prepared. with de-ionized water. Filter papers were soaked with. Figure 4a. the solution, wrapped around the gage section of the. fatigue test specimen, and sealed with a plastic film to. avoid evaporation...
• ORION(R) Case Study: Terrebonne, LA
  were able to read the majority of these. meters with our mobile meter reading equipment.". "These meters routinely get flooded, are exposed to the atmosphere and then. re-flooded again. Corrosion is the primary thing we worry about, but. Badger Meters have stood up well to that. When they have a new...
• Electrode To Lower Cost Of Aluminum Smelting, Lessen Pollution
  smelting operation works by electrolysis, Rapp said. Refrigerator-sized carbon anodes are submerged in a bath of very hot fused fluoride salt solution containing refined aluminum oxide, called alumina. The 1,000 C-bath dissolves the alumina, and the anodes' strong electric current plates out pure...
