Recrystallization Of High Purity Aluminum, Virgil H. Griswold Jr.
Recrystallization Of High Purity Aluminum, Virgil H. Griswold Jr.
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
If a metal is first cold-worked and then heated to a sufficient temperature for an adequate length of time, the hardening properties due to cold-working disappear, and the metal will return more or less to its original state. Upon examination of the microstructure, we find that new grains have replaced the old grains through what is called recrystallization. The final size of the recrystallized grains depends upon three important variables--the degree of cold-work or deformation, annealing temperature, and annealing time.
The Indium-Mercury Constitutional Diagram, Bert E. Lake
The Indium-Mercury Constitutional Diagram, Bert E. Lake
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Whenever metals differ greatly in electropositivity, intermetallic compounds are likely to form in preference to solid solutions. 21ercury and indium show a considerable difference in electropositivity. This would indicate that intermetallic compounds may play an important role in the constitutional diagram for the mercury-indium system.

Oil Shales In Montana, Richard N. Miller
Oil Shales In Montana, Richard N. Miller
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Montana has long been known to have very large resources of coal and oil, and undetermined amounts of oil shale. The reserves of coal and oil have been proven, in part, and have been produced commercially, but not much is known about the extent and apparent value of the oil shales. Under present .conditions, and according to standards set by the United States Bureau of Mines, the shales are not of commercial value. They are, however, a potentially valuable mineral resource, and portions of them will possibly be utilized, although not in the near future.

The Sedimentary Petrography Of The Oil And Gas Producing Horizons In Montana, Patrick J. Donahue
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Montana is an excellent oil province, as oil and gas are produced from a wider range of beds in the geologic section than in any other district in the United States. (1,864) Commercial fields have been developed in Ordovician, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous, and Upper Cretaceous. It is believed that by describing the physical characteristics of the producing horizons, and by placing this information in one compact volume, a better understanding of oil and gas occurrence in Montana may be gained.

The Birdie Mine Tungsten Deposit Butte Mining District, Silverbow County, Montana, Bernard A. Fahm
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The importance of tungsten has encouraged the search for minerals of this metal, and consequently new deposits have been discovered, and known deposits have been re-examined. Western Montana has rather widespread deposits if low-grade types are also considered. Many deposits were known long ago, but abandoned because the use of tungsten was still in its beginning stage and therefore little attention was given to this type of mineral.
