A path to in-space welding and to other in-space metal processing technologies using Space Shuttle small payloads [PDF]

open access: yes
As we venture into space, it becomes necessary to assemble, expand, and repair space-based structures for our housing, research, and manufacturing. The zero gravity-vacuum of space challenges us to employ construction options which are commonplace on ...

Thorium-232 Exposure during Tungsten Inert Gas Arc Welding and Electrode Sharpening.

open access: yesINDUSTRIAL HEALTH, 2003
To assess the exposure of welders to thorium-232 (232Th) during tungsten inert gas arc (TIG) welding, airborne concentrations of 232Th in the breathing zone of the welder and background levels were measured. The radioactive concentrations were 1.11 x 10(-2) Bq/m3 during TIG welding of aluminum (TIG/Al), 1.78 x 10(-4) Bq/m3 during TIG welding of ...

Aluminum oxide filler prevents obstructions in tubing during welding [PDF]

open access: yes, 1966
Granular aluminum oxide is used as filler in serpentine tubing while welding the tubing to a flat surface. The filler eliminates obstructions in the tubes formed by molten weld nuggets and is porous enough to allow gases to escape from the welding ...

Vacuum vapor deposition: A spinoff of space welding development [PDF]

open access: yes
A vapor deposition process has been defined through a spinoff effort of space welding development. In this development for welding in a space environment, a hollow electrode was used to add gas precisely at the welding arc.
