- Abstract
- The compatibility of structural materials, particularly metals, with gaseous and liquid oxygen is reviewed. Various methods of testing for oxygen compatibility are described. The literature is reviewed with respect to accidents, experimental measurements of ignition and combustion, the effect of high pressure, theory, and properties data. The relative compatibility of various materials is discussed and a selection procedure recommended. Needed future research is also outlined.
