Carderock Division Environmental Quality Department in 1990 as a project engineer and is now managing the non-oily wastewater (graywater and blackwater) project area. Mr. Ivan Caplan:graduated from Drexel University (Philadelphia
Pennsylvania) with a BS in Metallurgical Engineering and was awarded a MS degree from the Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore Maryland) in Mechanics and Materials Science. Mr. Caplan has spent most of his career at the Carderock Division Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and is currently the Head of the Wastewater Management Branch in the Carderock Division's Environmental Quality Department. Previously Mr. Caplan managed the US Navy's Applied Research Program in Ship & Submarine Materials Technology. In addition Mr. Caplan was manager of the US Navy's Titanium Technology Program Office and during his government career held several external Program Manager positions on at the Naval Sea Systems Command and another at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

In anticipation of more stringent environmental regulations, the increasing costs of waste disposal, and the need for naval combatants to operate unimpeded in littoral waters, the U.S. Navy has identified the need to develop technologies which are appropriate for the control and treatment of blackwater and graywater. This paper will describe the status of development efforts by the Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (CDNSWC) and its supporting contractors, under sponsorship of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the Office of Naval Research. The challenge was to develop treatment systems that meet Navy shipboard requirements for affordability, compactness, low manning/maintenance, high reliability and safety, and EM, noise, vibration and shock. Membrane ultrafiltration based systems, incorporating aerobic biological pre-treatment and ultraviolet light post treatment disinfection, have ken developed to meet these requirements. Both external and in-tank membrane systems will be described in terms of performance, system operation and space and weight advantages.

In this article, we have studied the role of photoeffects in the formation of aluminum back surface field (BSF) contacts on p-type silicon wafers by using different lamp configurations in rapid thermal processing (RTP). Use of photons of wavelengths less than 800 nm in conjunction with infrared and visible photons in RTP resulted in the reduction of processing time from 202 to 138 s and the processing temperature from 890 to 850 °C. The reduction in the overall thermal budget used for BSF contact formation is a direct result of photon assisted RTP. The availability of a large number of high energy photons on the metal surface also resulted in improved electrical, structural and mechanical properties of the processed device.

Aluminum-copper-magnesium alloys also containing manganese and iron (commercial designation 2024) are susceptible to marine corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Susceptibility depends on heat treatment, and is thought to involve redistribution of copper from within the microstructure onto the surface of the corroding alloy, but few direct observations of the mechanism have been made. Copper can be distributed in several ways throughout the microstructure, which complicates mechanism studies. The primary age-hardening phase is Al2CuMg (orthorhombic; a=4.01, b=9.25, c=7.15 Å) which appears as more or less large equiaxed S particles at equilibrium, and as metastable S’ plates after aging for shorter times at lower temperature (∼190°C). In addition, ubiquitous so-called “dispersoids” containing copper and manganese (prolate spheroid morphology) or iron (irregular “blocky” morphology) do not go into solution when the alloy is solid state homogenized (-495 °C) and are always present in the microstructure. All of these phases are copper-rich sources for surface redistribution relative to the matrix during corrosion.

We report measurements of the parallel critical magnetic field of thin superconducting beryllium films with Tc∼0.6K. The critical field transitions were spin-paramagnetically limited and found to be strongly hysteretic below a tricritical point at Ttri=190mK. The magnitude of the hysteresis and Ttri were observed to be completely suppressed in field misalignments θ>~1°. Time relaxation measurements in the hysteretic regime showed simple exponential decays in the highest quality films and nonexponential decays interspersed with avalanches in more inhomogeneous samples.

Impact failure of fiber-reinforced polymer composites is a very complex phenomenon. Their fracture toughness is not simply the sum of the weighted contributions of their constituents, but is governed more importantly by the extent of energy dissipation through various toughening mechanisms. Material design approaches for improving impact resistance of these composites, which include modifications of thermosets, interleaving, supplementary reinforcements, and stitched 3-D reinforcements, are discussed.

A technique has been developed that allows the application of free-standing membranes of polymer adhesives used in microfabricated structures. The film is made free-standing by the application of the adhesive to a polymer template, followed by an adhesion step to a microfabricated substrate, and the final release of the film by the removal of the polymer template. It was found that the surface treatment used to treat the Teflon template made it adhere too strongly to the adhesive film for this application. The results show that Gel-Paks make a suitable template for the transference of polymer films over holes of at least micron size.
