ANP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT Ceramics in Various Mediums Static corrosion screening tests of three ceramic oxides and one carbide (A1203, MgAI,O,, calcium- stabilized ZrO,, and sic) were mode in a vacuum atmosphere at l5OO0F for 100 hr in each of four med i urns: sod ium, NaF-ZrF,-UF, (53.5-40-6.5 molk %), lithium, and lead, A fourth ceramic oxide was tested under the same conditions in sodium and in NaF-ZrF,-UF, (53.5-40-6.5 mole %). The A120, and MgAI,O, test pieces were cut froin single, synthesized crystals; the Mg0 test pieces were cleaved from a single, synthesized crystal. The nominal dimensions of the test pieces and the re- 94 sults of the tests are given in Table 6.5. Powder x-ray examinatians were made of the specimens that were the least corrosion resistant in each medium, and the results are summarized in Table 6.6. The Sic specimens were, in general, the most resistant to corrosion, and the AI,O, specimens were the next most resistant. These single-run screening tests are qualitative, and the results should be used with caution. Larger specimens are to be tested so that more accurate data can be obtained and metallographic examinations and chemical analyses can be made. TABLE 6.5.
