Titanium tests

Accurate self-consistent thermochemical data for the copper chlorides up to 200°C are required, in order to improve solubility calculations and electrochemical modelling capabilities for Aspen Plus and OLI software. Experimental work has been initiated at the University of Guelph, Canada and UOIT to determine a comprehensive thermochemical database, for solubility limits of OMIT, and aqueous cupric chloride versus chloride concentration and temperature using UV-VIS spectroscopy (Suppiah, 2008). The chloride ion is obtained by adding LiCl OMIT. The conditions of tests are primarily 25-200°C, up to 20 bars. Specialised equipment for this task is needed to reach elevated temperatures and pressures, because cupric chloride is chemically aggressive, and because changes in the solution concentrations must be made precisely. A titanium test cell has been custom made, including a UV-VIS spectrometer with sapphire windows, HPLC pumps and an automated injection system. The data acquired will be combined with past literature data for the cuprous chloride system to develop a self-consistent database for the copper (I) and copper (II) chloride-water systems.

Polyphenylquinoxaline (PPQ) and Polyimide (LARC-TPI) adhesive systems were evaluated for titanium metal bond characteristics in various environments. Each polymer was chemically analyzed prior to fabrication into glass reinforced films and bonded into titanium test coupons. 

Besides the material based characteristics, the difference of density of the used particle/substrate combination is a very important criterion. The difference of density influences the contrast of the radiographic tests. Tungsten carbides were used as mechanically resistant particles and titanium based alloys as substrate. The substrate material is marked by an advantageous relation of strength to density. This material is often used in aeronautics, astronautics, and for modification of boundary layers. The density of tungsten carbide (15.7 g/cm ) is about 3.5 times higher than the density of titanium (4.45-4.6 g/cm ). 

This study was in real time measured that the reflective echo height of the bonding interface in the solid phase diffused bonding process of carbon steel and titanium using ultrasonic testing method. As a result, the following were made discernment.

The colour sequence already described, for the reduction of van-adium(V) to vanadium(II) by zinc and acid, gives a very characteristic test for vanadium. Addition of a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to a vanadate V) gives a red colour (formation of a peroxo-complex) (cf. titanium, which gives an orange-yellow colour).

One of the principal advantages of hydrides for hydrogen storage is safety (25). As part of a study to determine the safety of the iron—titanium—manganese metal hydride storage system, tests were conducted in conjunction with the U.S. Army (26). These tests simulated the worst possible conditions resulting from a serious coUision and demonstrated that the metal hydride vessels do not explode.

Analytical and Test Methods. o-Nitrotoluene can be analyzed for purity and isomer content by infrared spectroscopy with an accuracy of about 1%. -Nitrotoluene content can be estimated by the decomposition of the isomeric toluene diazonium chlorides because the ortho and meta isomers decompose more readily than the para isomer. A colorimetric method for determining the content of the various isomers is based on the color which forms when the mononitrotoluenes are dissolved in sulfuric acid (45). From the absorption of the sulfuric acid solution at 436 and 305 nm, the ortho and para isomer content can be deterrnined, and the meta isomer can be obtained by difference. However, this and other colorimetric methods are subject to possible interferences from other aromatic nitro compounds. A titrimetric method, based on the reduction of the nitro group with titanium(III) sulfate or chloride, can be used to determine mononitrotoluenes (32). Chromatographic methods, eg, gas chromatography or high pressure Hquid chromatography, are well suited for the deterrnination of mononitrotoluenes as well as its individual isomers. Freezing points are used commonly as indicators of purity of the various isomers. 

Both the Toth and Alcoa processes provide aluminum chloride for subsequent reduction to aluminum. Pilot-plant tests of these processes have shown difficulties exist in producing aluminum chloride of the purity needed. In the Toth process for the production of aluminum chloride, kaolin [1332-58-7] clay is used as the source of alumina (5). The clay is mixed with sulfur and carbon, and the mixture is ground together, pelletized, and calcined at 700°C. The calcined mixture is chlorinated at 800°C and gaseous aluminum chloride is evolved. The clay used contains considerable amounts of silica, titania, and iron oxides, which chlorinate and must be separated. Silicon tetrachloride and titanium tetrachloride are separated by distillation. Resublimation of aluminum chloride is requited to reduce contamination from iron chloride. 

Shipment and Storage. The weight per gallon is 5.6 kg. MSG is shipped and stored in 55-gaHon (0.208 m ) steel dmms or 5-gaHon (0.02 m ) steel pads with a polyethylene liner. Anhydrous MSC is also corrosive toward titanium, titanium—palladium, and zirconium as measured in metal strip tests at 50°C. It is classified as a corrosive Hquid. 

Titanium resists erosion—corrosion by fast-moving sand-laden water. In a high velocity, sand-laden seawater test (8.2 m/s) for a 60-d period, titanium performed more than 100 times better than 18 Cr—8 Ni stainless steel. Monel, or 70 Cu—30 Ni. Resistance to cavitation, ie, corrosion on surfaces exposed to high velocity Hquids, is better than by most other stmctural metals (34,35). 

Welding (qv) of titanium requires a protected atmosphere of iaert gas. Furthermore, parts and filler wire are cleaned with acetone (trichloroethylene is not recommended). The pieces to be welded are clamped, not tacked, unless tacks are shielded with iaert gas. A test sample should be welded. Coated electrodes are excluded and higher purity metal (lower oxygen content) is preferred as filler. Titanium caimot be fusion-welded to other metals because of formation of brittle intermetallic phases ia the weld 2oae.

Electrical Properties. Electrical properties are important for the corrosion protection of chip-on-board (COB) encapsulated devices. Accelerated temperature, humidity, and bias (THB) are usually used to test the embedding materials. Conventional accelerating testing is done at 85°C, 85% relative humidity, and d-c bias voltage.

Samples were tested on in a melt of salts (75% Na SO, 25% NaCl) at 950°C in an air atmosphere for 24 hours. Micro X-rays spectrum by the analysis found that the chemical composition of carbides of an alloy of the ZMI-3C and test alloys differs noticeably. In the monocarbide of phase composition of an alloy of the ZMI-3C there increased concentration of titanium and tungsten is observed in comparison with test alloys containing chemical composition tantalum. The concentration of more than 2% of tantalum in test alloys has allowed mostly to deduce tungsten from a mono carbide phase (MC) into solid solution. Thus resistance of test alloys LCD has been increased essentially, as carbide phase is mostly sensitive aggressive environments influence. The critical value of total molybdenum and tungsten concentration in MC should not exceed 15%. 

Figure 19-1 shows the experimental setup with the position of the steel test pieces and the anodes. The anodes were oxide-coated titanium wires and polymer cable anodes (see Sections 7.2.3 and 7.2.4). The mixed-metal experimental details are given in Table 19-1. The experiments were carried out galvanostatically with reference electrodes equipped to measure the potential once a day. Thus, contamination of the concrete by the electrolytes of the reference electrodes was excluded. The potentials of the protected steel test pieces are shown in Table 19-1. The potentials of the anodes were between U(2u-cuso4 = -1-15 and -1.35 V.
