Tests of materials for use in liquid-metal and fused-salt systems were continued. Corrosion tests, penetrability tests, thermal tests, and solubility tests were conducted on structural alloys, brazing alloys, special alloys, cermets, carbides, nitrides, and rare-earth oxides. Progress in loop design and testing is reported. Hastelloy W creep and stress testing and general welding and brazing tests and investigations are reported. Development work is reported in nickel-molybdenum base alloys and iron-zirconium alloys and the fabrication of control rods. Research in the physical chemistry of corrosion, fundamental and applied metallurgy, and ceramics is reported. Development of alloys, fuel assemblies and fuel alloys, and brazing and welding techniques for the Homogeneous Reactor Project (HRP) and the Army Package Power Reactor (APPR) and testing of these materials in the Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) are described.
