13 conference on diffusion sealing of
(USSR) A conference on diffusion sealing of metallic and nonmetallic materials was organized in Moscow, 1969, by the Research Laboratory for Diffusion Sealing in Vacuum, on the occasion of its tenth year of successful operation. It was announced that number of materials sealed by diffusion in vacuum exceeded 400 pairs. Using diffusion in vacuum, high quality seals were obtained for ceramic-tokovar, -copper, and -titanium, molybdenum-to-niobium, quartz-togold-to-bronze, platinum-to-titanium, silver-to-stainless copper, steel etc. Dimensions of the seals range from a few microns to a few metres. A short review of the conference papers is presented including: the influence of conditions during sealing on seal properties; the mechanism of reduction of oxides by solid carbon during diffusion sealing of carbon to metals; the dependence of aluminium and copper oxidation rate on oxygen partial pressure during diffusion microsealing in vacuum; the investigation of the transition layer in vacuumtight borosilicate glass-to-kovar seals; the investigation of the properties of porous tungsten sealed by diffusion in vacuum; and the improvement of metal and alloy properties by vacuum thermal treatment based on the filling of microcavities resulting in more tensile and plastic metal.

(USSR) A method of calculating the gas velocity field in a vacuum entrance stage as dependent on the flow regime in the flowing stage of an axial compressor working under vacuum conditions is presented. Calculated values are compared with experimental data. I Ya Sukhomlinov et al, Mashinostroenie, No 1, 1970, 72-76 (in Russian).
1.5 122. On the possibility of absolute measurement of gas flow velocity. (Poland) A method of absolute measurement of gas flow velocity is proposed,
based on the thermal signal emitted by a thin wire fed with a modulated current. The thermal signal, being transported with the same velocity as the gas, arrives at the temperature detector developing an electric signal, whose phase shift is proportional to the gas flow velocity. Theoretical calculations have been tested experimentally. J Kielbasa, Bull Acad Pol Sci Ser Sci Tech, 18 (5), 1970, 199-204. 16. GASES AND SOLIDS 16 123. Oxidation kinetics of selenium.

I.
(USSR) For improved technological processes, it is desirable to know the interdiffusion coefficients of gases at high temperatures. Interdiffusion coefficients of gases in He-Ar, HZ-He and H,-Ar systems are measured in the broad temperature range of 300 to 700°K by the two volume method. Composition of gases was analyzed by a mass spectrometer. A stainless steel experimental apparatus consisting of two vessels with volumes of 187 and 217 cm3 connected with a capillary, of length 127 mm and inner diameter 1.9 mm, is described. The vacuum vessels and capillary are placed in a thermostat maintaining the temperature with a precision of 05°C. Mercury gauges are used for pressure measurement in the diffusion chambers. The inlet system of the mass spectrometer operates in a molecular regime. The
(USSR) The oxidation kinetics of selenium were studied experimentally. Oxygen-free samples of selenium cleaned by repeated vacuum distillation at 800°C were prepared and tested in vacuum at lo-’ torr after oxidation in air at 215°C. It is found that the instability of the electrical parameters of selenium is due to oxygen diffusion in the selenium. S I Mekhtieva et al, Neorg Mater, 5 (9), 1969, 1522-1525 (in Russian). 124. Investigation of interaction method. (USSR)
16 of oxygen with rhenium by the flash
Interaction of gaseous oxygen with a polycrystalline rhenium surface was investigated with the aid of a flash method and time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The rhenium ribbon was placed in a copper chamber cooled by liquid nitrogen and coupled to the mass spectrometer ion source. Gas desorbed from the ribbon flowed through the ion source, where it was ionized by an electron beam and sorbed by the vacuum chamber walls, on which titanium was periodically 139
