Filed:
Apr 28, 1995
Appl. No.:
08/431688
Inventors:
Henry W. Babel - Huntington Beach CA
Mark M. Hasegawa - Fountain Valley CA
Steven A. Daneman - Westminster CA
Assignee:
McDonnell Douglas Corporation - Huntington Beach CA
International Classification:
B32B 900
US Classification:
4285395
Abstract:
A metal substrate such as bare or anodized aluminum or an aluminum alloy having an inorganic white paint thermal control coating on the substrate, the coating having low solar absorptance and high infrared emittance, such as a potassium silicate binder having zinc oxide particles distributed therein, and a fluoropolymer topcoat such as polytetrafluoroethylene on the inorganic white coating, the topcoat having substantially no significant effect on the optical properties of the thermal control coating and having substantial adhesion to such coating and improved resistance to darkening under ultraviolet exposure in the outer space environment.

Methods Of Manufacture Of Spin-Forming Blanks, Particularly For Fabrication Of Rocket Domes

View page
US Patent:
6660106, Dec 9, 2003
Filed:
Aug 22, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/935271
Inventors:
Henry W. Babel - Huntington Beach CA
Douglas J. Waldron - Fountain Valley CA
Ronaldo Reyes de Jesus - Huntington Beach CA
William F. Bozich - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seal Beach CA
International Classification:
B23K 2012
US Classification:
148527, 148535, 2281121, 228114
Abstract:
Large diameter dome tanks made of a plurality of plates friction stir welded together to form a blank and spun and/or stretched into form. The dome tanks may be for holding liquid rocket fuel. Methods of forming include friction stir welding two or more flat blanks together and spinning the combined workpiece into a hemisphere. The blanks may be sufficiently thick to enable stretching as well as spinning. Aluminum alloys may be used, and filler material may be included in thee friction stir welds to reduce grain growth and problems associated therewith in the spinning process.

Method To Increase The Toughness Of Aluminum-Lithium Alloys At Cryogenic Temperatures

View page
US Patent:
7105067, Sep 12, 2006
Filed:
Jun 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/456385
Inventors:
Krishnan K. Sankaran - St. Louis MO, US
Brian J. Sova - St. Charles MO, US
Henry W. Babel - Huntington Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C22C 21/00
US Classification:
148698, 148697, 148694
Abstract:
A method to increase the toughness of the aluminum-lithium alloy C458 and similar alloys at cryogenic temperatures above their room temperature toughness is provided. Increasing the cryogenic toughness of the aluminum-lithium alloy C458 allows the use of alloy C458 for cryogenic tanks, for example for launch vehicles in the aerospace industry. A two-step aging treatment for alloy C458 is provided. A specific set of times and temperatures to age the aluminum-lithium alloy C458 to T8 temper is disclosed that results in a higher toughness at cryogenic temperatures compared to room temperature. The disclosed two-step aging treatment for alloy 458 can be easily practiced in the manufacturing process, does not involve impractical heating rates or durations, and does not degrade other material properties.

Large Diameter Domes And Methods Of Manufacturing Same

US Patent:
7201811, Apr 10, 2007
Filed:
Sep 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/658598
Inventors:
Henry W. Babel - Huntington Beach CA, US
Douglas J. Waldron - Fountain Valley CA, US
Ronaldo Reyes de Jesus - Huntingdon Beach CA, US
William F. Bozich - Huntingdon Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B23K 20/12
US Classification:
148535, 2281121
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of making large spin blanks out of pieces of aluminum sheet or plate joined by friction stir welding to provide plate blank sizes greater than 156 inch (396 cm) in diameter. Blank sizes greater than 209 inch diameter enable manufacturing possibilities for large one-piece spun parts instead of constructing large structures from pieces. This also applies to sheet, except that the maximum width obtainable is 139 inches (353 cm). The availability of large blank sizes, particularly for sheet, permits the use of traditional spinning where bending is the predominant method of metal movement rather than stretching and spinning. As the present invention is a very cost effective approach, it provides a method for producing significantly more economical spin blanks between 156 and 209 inches in diameter than are obtainable for a single piece blank.

High Pressure Mechanical Seal

View page
US Patent:
54051762, Apr 11, 1995
Filed:
Feb 15, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/196665
Inventors:
Henry W. Babel - Huntington Beach CA
Phillip L. Fuson - Huntington Beach CA
Colin D. Chickles - Huntington Beach CA
Cherie A. Jones - Westminster CA
Raymond H. Anderson - Santa Ana CA
Assignee:
McDonnell Douglas Corporation - St. Louis MO
International Classification:
B21D 3904
F16L 3500
US Classification:
285382
Abstract:
A relatively impervious mechanical seal is formed between the outer surface of a tube and the inside surface of a mechanical fitting of a high pressure fluid or hydraulic system by applying a very thin soft metal layer onto the outer surface of the hard metal tube and/or inner surface of the hard metal fitting, prior to swaging the fitting onto the tube. The thickness of such thin metal layer is independent of the size of the tube and/or fittings. Many metals and alloys of those metals exhibit the requisite softness, including silver, gold, nickel, tin, platinum, indium, rhodium and cadmium. Suitably, the coating is about 0. 0025 millimeters (0. 10 mils) in thickness. After swaging, the tube and fitting combination exhibits very low leak rates on the order or 10. sup. -8 cubic centimeters per second or less as meaured using the Helium leak test.

Abstract:
An article is coated with a mixture of a high absorptance pigment, a low absorptance pigment, a low emittance material, and a high emittance binder. Each of the components of the coating are stable when exposed to a space environment. The amounts of the high absorptance pigment and the low absorptance pigment are selected to produce an absorptance of the coating of from about 0. 20 to about 0. 90, and the amount of the low emittance material is selected to produce an emittance of the coating of from about 0. 25 to about 0. 90. The low absorptance pigment is preferably a white pigment such as zinc oxide. The high absorptance pigment is preferably a black pigment such as cupric oxide, cobalt oxide, or manganese dioxide. The low emittance material is preferably a metal such as aluminum. The binder is preferably a ceramic such as potassium silicate.
