Fabrication methods for TD nickel.Spin-forming, welding, machining, electric discharge machining, and electroforming operations in th e construction of a TD Nickel rocket thrust chamber are described. TD Nickel was one of the first commercially available dispersion hardened alloys. Dispersion hardened alloys are being given prominent consideration in the construction of the space shuttle; therefore, fabrication experience gained with the TD Nickel material is of current interest.
