Porosity in fusion welds in titanium has been encountered to some extent in all programs using this joining method. While measures to control cleanliness and to employ good welding techniques have successfully reduced the occurrence of porosity, specific indentification of the various causes of porosity is still lacking. Some factors suspected of causing porosity in titanium welds are hydrogen, cleanliness of joint area, contamination in filler wire, and welding procedures and techniques.

The memorandum summarizes the available information on the compatibility of liquid rocket propellants with prominent materials of construction. Fuels and oxidizers of current interest are discussed. The corrosion data which are presented will apply to storing, handling, and control equipment outside of missiles and to missile components excluding combustion chamber. The compatibility of materials with reaction products in combustion chambers, nozzles, etc., is not considered. Included in the summary are data for many nonmetallic materials. The memorandum is subdivided into sections according to the propellant. Each material of construction is rated for a given medium as belonging to one of four classes, based primarily upon corrosion resistance. Consideration also is given to such factors as catalytic decomposition and sensitivity to impact.
