The memorandum summarizes the available information on the compatibility of liquid rocket propellants with prominent materials of construction. Fuels and oxidizers of current interest are discussed. The corrosion data which are presented will apply to storing, handling, and control equipment outside of missiles and to missile components excluding combustion chamber. The compatibility of materials with reaction products in combustion chambers, nozzles, etc., is not considered. Included in the summary are data for many nonmetallic materials. The memorandum is subdivided into sections according to the propellant. Each material of construction is rated for a given medium as belonging to one of four classes, based primarily upon corrosion resistance. Consideration also is given to such factors as catalytic decomposition and sensitivity to impact.

The object of this investigation was to determine materials of construction compatible with the rocket propellants and Hydrazoid P for extended periods of time. As Army requirements demand storability at any temperature between -65 F and + 160 F, compatibility studies should emphasize the behavior of the materials investigated at the latter temperature. The two studies reported emphasize the behavior of the propellants and the construction materials at the high temperature end of the storage range. Al alloys, Ta, Ti, polyethylene, and Teflon were unaffected by Hydrazoid P. Inconel, Ni and the stainless steels were appreciably corroded and the propellant was contaminated by corrosion products. The Kel-F swelled and blistered. None of the materials tested were appreciably corroded by Cl F3. Al and Ti are recommended for tank materials for Hydrazoid P, and polyethylene and Teflon for O-ring material. Both Al and stainless steel can be recommended as tank materials for Cl F3. Teflon is the only non-metallic O-ring material recommended.

"Summarized are the physical properties, materials compatibility, handling techniques, flammability and explosivity, and procedures for storing, cleaning, and flushing the Titan II propellants N2O4 as the oxidizer and a nominal 50/50 blend of UDMH and N2H4 as the fuel. The data presented was derived both from a literature survey and from a test program conducted at Bell Aerosystems Company and at the U.S. Bureau of Mines". -- page iii.

Rocket Propulsion has come of age. Although its potentialities and capabilities in many areas have been recognized for centuries, it is only in recent years that scientists have had the materials and the manufacturing techniques at their command so they could control and direct the tremendous forces available. Space exploration and manned flights by astronauts have brought the science of rocketry to the attention of the general public. It has also stimulated the interest of students at all levels of advancement in the technical details of space flight. Rocket Propellant Technologies is written for serious students of astronautics. This volume reviews briefly the history of rocketry and the fundamental principles connected with rocket propulsion. Types of propellants, the chemical reactions involved, and the techniques used in manufacturing are explained. The merits of solid and liquid fuels are enumerated. Exotic propellants of the future are discussed, with reasons why their development is essential. Finally, the safety aspects of manufacturing and testing rocket propellants are given in detail. The Amateur Rocket Association under whose guidance this series has been prepared, serves as a focal point for many related activities, bringing new ideas to the attention of its members and offering suggestions for future lines of research.
