RUBIDIUM EVALUATION PROGRAM. Quarterly Technical Report No. 6 fof Period May 1 through July 31, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4037748

The first corrosion test capsule run was completed. A type 316 stainless steel capsule containing approximately 12.5 g of Rb was subjected to a boiling-refluxing type static capsule test for 50 hours at 1550 deg F and 50 hours at 1800 F. Very little attack on stainless steel was observed. The final design of the basic corrosion loop was completed. A boiling apparatus will be used for measuring the vapor pressure-temperature equilibria and the latent heat of vaporization for Rb over the temperature range 1000 to 1800 deg F. (W.L.H.)
