Type I zirconium-nickel alloy delay compn having a formulation 60/14/26 BaCr04/KClC>4/ 70-30 Zr-Ni was used for these expts. Two different radioactive tracers, 27-day chromium-51 and 2.1-year cesium-134, were employed. The first was added to the compn in the form of BaslCr04 as a fractional percentage of total barium chromate, and the second tracer was included as 134CsQ in ppm concn of the total mixt... 

Several hard non-ferrous alloys are now in use. Mention may be made of cooperite, a zirconium—nickel alloy, non-corrosive and aqid resistant. Being very hard it is useful for high-speed cutting tools. 

Eabrication techniques must take into account the metallurgical properties of the metals to be joined and the possibiUty of undesirable diffusion at the interface during hot forming, heat treating, and welding. Compatible alloys, ie, those that do not form intermetaUic compounds upon alloying, eg, nickel and nickel alloys (qv), copper and copper alloys (qv), and stainless steel alloys clad to steel, may be treated by the traditional techniques developed for clads produced by other processes. On the other hand, incompatible combinations, eg, titanium, zirconium, or aluminum to steel, require special techniques designed to limit the production at the interface of undesirable intermetaUics which would jeopardize bond ductihty. 

The effects on oxidation resistance of copper as a result of adding varying amounts of one or more of aluminium, beryllium, chromium, manganese, silicon, zirconium are described in a number of papers Other authors have investigated the oxidation of copper-zincand copper-nickel alloys , the oxidation of copper and copper-gold alloys in carbon dioxide at 1 000°C and the internal oxidation of various alloys ". ...

The fuels are finely powdered metals (2.0-10.0 g) among which titanium, zirconium, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum and antimony are very common. Sometimes, non-metal powders such as boron and silicon (for fast burning delays), binary alloy powders such as ferrosilicon, zirconium-nickel, aluminum-palladium and metal compounds such as antimony sulfide, calcium silicide etc. are also used. 

In the case of so-called active soldering an active solder is used a metallic solder containing interface active additives which make certain that the molten solder wets the ceramics. An example of such a solder is a silver / copper alloy with a titanium or titanium / indium additive which can be used when soldering zirconium (IV) oxide to certain steels, aluminium oxide to nickel / cobalt or iron / nickel alloys and aluminium oxide to a iron / nickel / cobalt alloy. 

Uranium can be analysed as the hexafluoride, but the procedure requires modification of the chromatographic apparatus, nickel coating of metallic parts and nickel filaments in the katharometer [606], Tin in zirconium—tin alloys can be analysed as the chloride, prepared by treatment with chlorine [607]. Selenium and tellurium are converted into fluorides by treatment of their oxides with xenon difluoride [608]. 

Materials such as metals, alloys, steels and plastics form the theme of the fourth chapter. The behavior and use of cast irons, low alloy carbon steels and their application in atmospheric corrosion, fresh waters, seawater and soils are presented. This is followed by a discussion of stainless steels, martensitic steels and duplex steels and their behavior in various media. Aluminum and its alloys and their corrosion behavior in acids, fresh water, seawater, outdoor atmospheres and soils, copper and its alloys and their corrosion resistance in various media, nickel and its alloys and their corrosion behavior in various industrial environments, titanium and its alloys and their performance in various chemical environments, cobalt alloys and their applications, corrosion behavior of lead and its alloys, magnesium and its alloys together with their corrosion behavior, zinc and its alloys, along with their corrosion behavior, zirconium, its alloys and their corrosion behavior, tin and tin plate with their applications in atmospheric corrosion are discussed. The final part of the chapter concerns refractories and ceramics and polymeric materials and their application in various corrosive media.
