|
 | In this article, a description of the typical sources of resistance to change is provided, and then a proven approach, based on rapid and successful results by the authors in several companies, is described. This approach requires a certain management philosophy, and identifiable characteristics and behavior by the manufacturing manager. Finally, drawing heavily on project management approaches, an implementation process that develops commitment and ownership, with a mechanism for reviewing ... |

| Propellant-grade MMH was stored in contact with various metal surfaces at 100C for seven days, and the observed stability order was Al about equal to Ti about equal to Cr < Fe < Mo < Ni. The degrees of decomposition due to metal surface ranged from essentially zero for Al, Ti, and Cr to about 5% for Ni under these conditions. In an experiment conducted at 150C for up to ... |

|
| A program of research work directed toward the study of the strain-age crack sensitivity of Rene' 41 was conducted and is described. The primary objectives of this study were: To perfect a screening test which could be used to evaluate and quantitatively measure factors which contribute to strain-age cracking in complex nickel-base superalloys and To subsequently use this information as a means of improving material quality and welding and heat ... |

|
| Strain aging effects in electron-beam refined tantalum have been studied using the yield point return and internal friction technique. The results have been discussed with reference to current theories of strain aging. A comparison of the data obtained by both techniques has been made which shows that the internal friction technique yields more direct information about the interstitial impurity responsible for the strain aging process. Electron-beam refined tantalum, when tested ... |
