PROPERTIES OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS AT EXTREME SUBZERO TEMPERATURES WITH SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON LIQUID HYDROGEN

Abstract

This report was prepared for the purpose of supplying physical and mechanical property data necessary for the specification of engineering materials in service applications at temperatures ranging down to -423F (the boiling point of hydrogen at atmospheric pressure). Since this report is primarily concerned with materials to be used in missiles and space craft, emphasis has been placed on those materials most suitable for this application, such as high strength, light weight alloys, and light weight plastic insulation. In addition, since fabrication problems often present design limitations, all available information on welded joints at low temperature are presented.
