Fabrication of high-temperature (1400-1700 k) molybdenum heat pipes

Creators

Description

Fabrication procedures for high temperature (1400-1700 K), high performance (10 MW/m/sup 2/ axial heat flux) molybdenum heat pipes for space nuclear power applications have been developed. Both the development and the procedures are described along with the heat pipe filling and sealing procedures. Improved cleaning procedures were specified for the commercially available low carbon arc-cast, drawn molybdenum container tubes, and the recrystallization behavior of these tubes was studied. 4 refs
