I am going to assume you have a chromemoly steel of no more than 1.5% chrome and 0.5% moly.
Preheat to 100 - 150 Deg F. Use filler wire to ER80X-B2L Or for this small job if you have 309 or 310 stainless that filler could be used. Argon gas is OK.
For these thin sections as welded joints should...
This is complex to respond to. I can help if you give me more details of exact composition and thickness of material.
The % chrome and Mo would be helpful. You can use Tig, but need preheat and possibly post heat treatment.
My old Tech College lecturer did his MSc on this. The reality is that up to 3-4% of water fully emulsified can help the combustion process by atomising the fuel better as water droplets explode into steam.
Over this level the heat to evaporate the water, lowers the thermodynamic efficiency. It...
There are various standards you need to consult. It first depends on your market. I suspect at 15 kV it is in Europe, however the standards you need to consult are EN Standards which catalog this well. In the American market you need to consider Canadian Standards (CSA) and NEC Standards which...
Keep temperature 5 Deg.C above ambient to keep above the dew point. A small heating element may help.
Alternatively, do you need to have vent at all. Can you fit a simple expansion bellows and keep cabinet sealed with some dessicant inside which will then last for a very long time.
A couple of...
I would suggest crimping if it an electrical joint. Even super-conducting materials are crimped. Standard ferrules and tools are available. You can get supplier to do a voltage drop test and pull (mechanical)test, if needed.
Brazing is possible. Tantalum must be brazed in a high purity inert...
Interesting comments on Fuel Cells. However there is a new rotary engine being developed which could have great promise, keeping IC Technology alive at much greater efficiencies.
This type of development will effectively kill off fuel cells, provided it works of course. The increased efficiency...
