Creep deformation localization is a common occurrence generally found in high temperature components, typically at weldments and geometrical discontinuities. The deformation in a small region cannot be measured by a conventional displacement gage. A new technique for measuring long-term local creep deformation was developed. It uses quartz optical fiber marking, remote monitoring, and image processing. Long-term measurements of the creep deformations of base metal, weld metal, and heat-affected zone in cross-weld specimens were performed at high temperature, which verify the new technique. Strain distributions and evolutions in the weldments are obtained.

The design approach and results from a series of analyses used to select a miniature high-temperature multi-watt refrigerator for thermally protecting downhole instruments are described. Thirty-one systems from nine physical or chemical processes were investigated and compared against the design criteria and constraints. Preliminary thermodynamic analyses and the results of a search for high-temperature components and refrigerants eliminated all but three processes and seven systems. These seven systems were re-evaluated based on a set of proposed design changes that reflect natural evolution from a prototype to commercial system application. Final selection considered refrigerator interactions with the geothermal logging system to define failure modes, ensure compatibility, and allow adaptability to changing conditions. The selected refrigerator design permits reliable, long-term active cooling of downhole instruments in hot wells. The consistent design, systematic analysis and unbiased selection process represent a new body of research results that provide potential for substantial advances in downhole thermal protection technology.

A new technique is described which allows the quantitative exchange of copper(II) into ZSM-5 zeolites. The sequence consists of two steps: (i) impregnation of the zeolite with copper(II) in amounts higher than the exchange capacity; (ii) leaching of the copper in excess with respect to the exchange capacity with a chlorobenzene-water mixture at high temperature. The performances of the new materials in the hydrolysis of chlorobenzene, as well as preliminary informations on the nature of the catalyst and the type of mechanism are presented.
