An Investigation Of Age-Hardening In A Commercial Copper-Beryllium Alloy, Terry Horne Apr 1948

An Investigation Of Age-Hardening In A Commercial Copper-Beryllium Alloy, Terry Horne

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This investigation is concerned with the age-hardening process as exemplified by the aging of a commercial Cu-Be alloy and, in particular, with this pro­cess as determined by X-ray methods. The amount of infor­mation available on age-hardening of commercial alloys is scanty and what information there is, is inaccurate.


The Effect Of Manganese And Magnesium On The Hardening Of Copper-Aluminum Alloys, Robert M. Hansen Apr 1948

The Effect Of Manganese And Magnesium On The Hardening Of Copper-Aluminum Alloys, Robert M. Hansen

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

During recent years, duralumin and all aluminum alloys have been made the object of much discussion regarding their hardening mechanism. The commercial success of nearly all of the alloys of aluminum and mag­nesium is dependent on their ability to age or precipitation harden.
