Evaluation of Aluminum-Sprayed Coatings for Corrosion Protection of Offshore Structures

Selection of an optimal corrosion protection method for offshore structural high-strength steel was necessary to avoid potential fatigue and hydrogen embrittlement problems. A study to evaluate the corrosion protection provided by sacrificial anodes and flame-sprayed aluminum coatings was undertaken. Reliability, availability, and influence on fracture and fatigue properties were the main factors considered in the study. The results illustrated that a properly applied flame-sprayed aluminum (FSA) coating represents the most viable scheme for providing long-life corrosion protection and improved corrosion fatigue and cracking resistance.

Application of Lateral Photovoltaic Effect to the Measurement of the Physical Quantities of P-N Junctions–Sheet Resistivity and Junction Conductance of N2+ Implanted Si

A new method of measuring the physical quantities of a thin film p-n junction such as the one formed by ion implantation has been developed; by means of this method difficulties of making reliable electrical contacts with thin layers and leakage currents which are often encountered when applying the bias voltage can be avoided. Lucovsky's theory for the lateral photovoltaic effect has been extended such that nonzero values for sheet resistivities of both p and n layers and a finite value for the length of the junction are taken into consideration, and the modified theory has been experimentally verified using p-Si samples implanted with N2+ at 8 keV. With the aid of the theory, sheet resistivities, junction conductances and some other physical quantities are obtained by analysing the measured lateral photovoltage (LPV). The use of the LPV method together with the ordinary one increases the reliability of the measurement.

Reliable Sample Changer for Mass Spectrometer

A sample changing device for a mass spectrometer is described. Five filaments are mounted on a wheel which is adapted to be rotated by suitable drive mechanism through the vacuum wall. Reliable wiping electrical contact is made to the filament lugs by means of stationary blades, spring loaded with tungsten wire helices.
