SYSTEMATIC

the powder metal is sintered on a coppercoated steel plate and afterwards compressed by rolling. The methods of powder-metal rolling now in use and a new method of rolling between rolls one under another by means of a paper band are discussed. PTFE

As a step towards formation of design rules for ball and socket joints, a solution of the lubrication equations for an “ideal” joint under steady loading and rotation is presented. The friction for the ball is found to be higher, and the load capacity lower, than that of a plain bearing under similar conditions.

(Presented before General Assembly, AGARD, Copenhagen, Denmark, October 20-29, 1958.) iii, 32 pp., diagrs. (Ask for NASA L-128). A broad discussion is given of the structures and materials problems that are involved in design of space-flight vehicles. Problem areas outlined and attention is focused on those areas which require increased research activity. The point of view taken is that space technology is a natural extension of aeronautical technology and that it is the environment, mission, and configuration whichset the structural problems. The nature of the spaceflight environment and the general trends in construction are therefore discussed, and this is followed by a detailed consideration of the loads, structural design, and materials problems. Some specific examples illustrating the severity of the loads and structures problems are given. Metals for Supersonic Aircraft and Missiles. D. W. Grobecker, editor. 423 pp. 1958.

(Ask for N-69063) The behavior of oxide films under conditions leading to their chemical failure, and under fretting, fatigue, and static stress conditions, is discussed. Probably disarrayed surface zones in a metal surface lead to the formation of less effective oxide films and also, in defilmed metal, to rapid chemical attack. The consequent effects produced under fretting corrosion, corrosion-fatigue, and stress-corrosion conditions are considered. Recent experimental work is mentioned which indicates that metal that is yielding under mechanical stress is in an especially active chemical state. The implications of this work on the mechanism of stress-corrosion cracking are considered. 5.2. Erosion and impact Erosion of Materials by Cavitation Attack. D. Peckner.
