    Electron beam welding of stainless steels
    (International Institute of Welding, 1976-08-23) Chrimes, NWD; Gardner, RV
    A review is given of some of the principal problems encountered in the operation of a 30kV 500 mA electron beam unit installed at Lucas Heights in 1970. The principal welding parameters for the successful operation of a unit of this type are discussed, with particular emphasis on gun to work distance and vacua, and their effect on the weld properties.

    Fabrication of equipment from monel and other materials for corrosive service in the production of fluorine.
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1975-09) Royston, D; Chrimes, NWD
    Literature is reviewed on the fabrication of Monel, mild steel and brazed equipment for use in the production of fluorine. The results of an experimental study on the welding of Monel components for a fluorine cell experimental plant are presented and the fabrication of equipment used in the plant is described. The corrosion history of the equipment after three months of continuous operation is outlined.
