Samples of low-nickel Zircaloy-2 (material MLI-788-see(1)), when anodically polarized in neutral 5 wt% NaCl solutions, were found to be susceptible to pitting and stress corrosion cracking. The SEM revealed that pitting of stressed samples was occurring below a 2000Å thick surface film which behaved differently from normal zirconium dioxide in that it did not display interference colours. Since the initial film thickness was approximately 65Å, attempts were made to examine the product film by transmission electron microscopy to deduce composition and how the corrosion environment could penetrate the continuous layer.

This investigation concerns a prediction of the behavior of viscoelastic fluids in a parallel circular squeeze film with a constant approach velocity, and a comparison to experimental results. The squeeze film geometry has direct application to unsteady hydrodynamic lubrication. The analysis predicts that load capacity of a viscoelastic fluid may be increased due to normal stress effects or decreased due to a delayed response of shear stress to a change in shear rate. Ten tested fluids include Newtonian control fluids, silicone fluids, high molecular weight polymers in petroleum oils, and extremely high molecular weight polymers in water and glycerin. The experimental squeezing is accomplished by the free fall of a cylindrical steel rod along its axis toward a stationary opposing surface. Film thickness, velocity of approach and load are measured. The velocity of approach is essentially constant in the range of film thickness considered. The water-glycerin-polymer solutions exhibited load capacity increases up to 33 percent, while the petroleum-polymer and silicone fluids showed decreases to 23 percent. It appears that viscoelastic effects cannot account for the reported improved bearing performance of polymer-additive lubricants.

A simple and convenient X-ray diffraction method is proposed to determine the thickness of surface film for textured specimens. The analysis result for a synthetic specimen with surface film has proved that the method is applicable and reliable.

Solution to the steady heat conduction problem of a rotating layered cylinder is presented. The governing differential equations (for the film and the substrate) are solved by using an integral transform technique. It is shown that the presence of a surface film measured in micrometers can substantially change the level of the surface temperature. The effect of the surface film on the surface temperature depends on: respective thermal properties of the film and the substrate; relative surface speed; heat source (contact) size; and surface film thickness. However, the range in which the effect of the film on the surface temperature is dependent on these parameters is limited. Outside this range (i.e., thin film/low speed or thick film/high speed) the surface temperature rise is determined by the thermal properties of the substrate, or by the properties of the film alone, respectively. Hence, outside this range, a further change in the film thickness does not influence the surface temperature rise. Dimensionless plots showing the change in surface temperature rise as a function of material thermal properties, surface speed, heat source size, and film thickness are presented. Behavior for specific material combinations are also presented. The present information can be utilized to predict the layer effect on the partition of heat between the layered cylinders.
