Recent Experience relevant to project
From 1991 to 1994 I served as principle investigator for a series of projects carried out at ASU to study the erosion rates of refractory metals (rhenium and tungsten) upon exposure to atmospheres of hydrogen and water vapor at temperatures in the range of 2000K to 3000K. These studies were sponsored by Allied Signal Fluid Systems Division. A significant number of problems had to be overcome in order to obtain reliable data. The data has not yet been published but we believe it to be the most reliable data yet obtained in this difficult regime of temperature and atmospheric conditions. The unique experience gained in this project concerns techniques for reliable measurement of temperatures under difficult atmospheric conditions and sampling atmospheric composition using mass-spectrograph and specially constructed probes.
