Impulsive Loading Of Metals And Alloys, William Barnes Mclane Jan 1963

Impulsive Loading Of Metals And Alloys, William Barnes Mclane

Masters Theses

“This thesis deals with the construction of an explosive deformation apparatus. Using the apparatus an investigation was made of the deformation changes in the structure of a 10% uranium-aluminum alloy and a hot rolled high carbon Manganese steel. Also a study of deformation through different thickness of Stainless Steel, Type-304, plates was carried out.

All of the deformations were obtained using a constant explosive charge consisting of a #6 commercial blasting cap coupled with a commercial chemical booster"--Abstract, page ii.


A Study Of The Haeffner Effect In Mercury, James Nicholson Baysden Jan 1963

A Study Of The Haeffner Effect In Mercury, James Nicholson Baysden

Masters Theses

"In 1953, E, Haeffner reported that when he passed a direct electric current through a capillary tube filled with mercury, he obtained a separation in the isotopes of mercury with the heavier isotopes being enriched at the negative terminal and the lighter isotopes at the positive terminal. This effect has since been referred to as the Haeffner Effect, Since the original experiment with mercury, other investigators have observed this effect in many other liquid metal systems.

This investigation of the Haeffner Effect in mercury involves the use of a radioactive isotope of mercury (Hg 203) as a tracer to follow …
