To describe procedures adequately, it is occasionally helpful to identify commercial products and equipment. In no case does such identification imply Naval Surface Warfare Center recommendation or endorsement, nor does it imply that the item is necessarily the best available for the purpose.

The most well-known SMA, which exhibits superelasticity above its transformation temperature, is NiTi ( 51% Ni by weight), also known by its trade name, nitinol, for nickel-titanium-naval ordnance laboratory. This alloy was developed in 1959 by William J. Buehler (b. 1923) at the United States Naval Ordnance Laboratory, now the Naval Surface Warfare Center, in White Oak, Maryland. Buehler was looking for a new impact-resistant alloy to serve as the nose cone for a new missile. The alloy s superelastic properties were discovered in 1962 by Frederick E. Wang (b. 1932), whom Buehler hired. The very first observation of superelasticity was by the University of Stockholm chemistry professor Arne Olander, who discovered a rubber-hke effect in an Au-Cd alloy (47.5% Au) in 1932 (Olander, 1932).

Public concerns in the United States about using the CDC to treat chemical munitions are not known at this time. However, the extensive U.S. use of the CDC for destruction of conventional munitions, including at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (Bixler, 2005), the Massachusetts Military Reservation, and the Blue Grass Chemical Depot, may contribute to public acceptance. The operations at Blue Grass were conducted under a RCRA permit.14 The experience with conventional munitions seems to demonstrate that the CDC can be operated without noise or vibration problems for its neighbors. 

This research was supported by a contract from the Office of Naval Research (N00014-87-0047), a contract from the Naval Surface Warfare Center (N60921-91-M-G761), and a research stimulation fund from Wayne State University. The author also thanks his collaborators, Janos Lanyi, Lowell McCoy, Mauricio Mental, and Richard Needleman. The experimental work that forms the basis of this chapter was performed by Man Chang, Albert Duschle, Brian Fuller, Filbert Hong, Sherie Michaile, Baofu Ni, Ting Okajima, and Michelle Petrak. 

Enzymatic reactions have been tested in SCFs on a pilot plant scale, and a detailed analysis of potential technical solutions and costs is given in Chapter 4.9. Finally, the synthesis of energetic materials has been suggested to be performed in liquid or supercritical CO2. The Indian Head Division of the US Naval Surface Warfare Center is now constructing a pilot plant with a 100 L vessel for the synthesis of such energetics as MTV (magnesium/Teflon/ Viton) and poly-3-nitratoraethy 1-3-methyl oxetane [190,191]. 

The authors acknowledge the provision of friction stir processed materials and data on monotonic and cyclic behavior of the NiAl bronze by M.W. Mahoney and C.B. Fuller, Rockwell Scientific Corporation. The Naval Surface Warfare Center (Carderock, MD) supplied the NiAl bronze materials, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), with Dr. L. Christodolou as program sponsor, provided the funding for this work. 

Chapter 8 in this volume presents FSP of copper alloys, including NiAl bronze, an alloy frequently used to fabricate ship propellers. Data in Chapter 8 show mechanical and fatigue properties to be improved considerably by FSP. However, as shown previously for an aluminum alloy, the need may arise to friction stir process a prior-fusion repair within an NiAl bronze propeller. Thus, studies were initiated to evaluate procedures and properties for this unique combination of prior processing. Fusion welds were made at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, using standard Navy weld procedures for NiAl bronze. Figure 14.43 illustrates a multipass 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) penetration fusion weld using Ampcotrode 46 weld wire of composition...
