Investigations of materials for use in connection with the SNAP I mercury Rankine cycle power conversion system are discussed. Test programs are outlined and results are tabulated for each candidate material. Several nonmetallic materials and processing procedures were developed which enabled uncooled high-performance electric machinery to operate at 550 deg F in mercury vapor. (J.R.D.)
