Fabrication process test evaluation: Shipping, HI-74-SL

摘要

The test parts were canned on October 7, 1962 and October 8, 1963. Only six parts, all radiographic rejects, were used for the test instead of 12 parts as originally planned. The original test called for using one very porous and one relatively non-porous sand cast aluminum insert in each container. Shipping experience has shown no significant effect of porosity of inserts on corrosion severity of parts shipped in them. All inserts used were full contour support inserts. Each test part was canned in a separate container under conditions described in the process test. The shipping assemblies, were stored for 21 days and the parts removed and inspected on October 29, 1963. Colored photographs of the parts were taken on October 30, 1963.
