The Age Hardening Of Silver With Copper-Silicide, Joseph Edward Shaw
The Age Hardening Of Silver With Copper-Silicide, Joseph Edward Shaw
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The successful application of the phenomenon of precipitation hardening to aluminum and copper has indicated the possibility of hardening all metals in the same way. The phenomenon of age hardening was discoveredin 1911, and since that time much research has been carried on in all parts of the world on various alloy systems.
The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer
The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The development of wrought alloys of aluminum to which high strength and ductility can be imparted by heat treatment began with the work of Wilm and Claesser in Germany, 1905-1911. During this time an alloy was developed which was later commercially produced in that country under the tradename of duralumin. The need for strong, light alloys for aircraft during the World War greatly hastened the development of duralumin.
Alloys Of Lead And Tellurium, Ettore A. Peretti
Alloys Of Lead And Tellurium, Ettore A. Peretti
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Prior to the last few years little practical use was made of the element tellurium, which is obtained from gold and silver tellurides and from the slimes of electrolytic copper refineries. Lately, however, more study has been made of its properties when alloyed with other metals. It was the purpose of this thesis to study the effects of the addition of tellurium to lead, particularly in small amounts.
The Electrical Resistance Of Metals In Their Hard And Soft States, Eugene A. Avery
The Electrical Resistance Of Metals In Their Hard And Soft States, Eugene A. Avery
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Many investigations have shown that the electrical resistance of soft annealed metals is usually smaller than that of metals in their hard, cold worked state. By annealing cold-worked metals, the electrical resistance decreases to a minimum and then increases upon continued annealing at higher temperatures. The work performed in this investigation upon silver, aluminum, copper, nickel, and soft steel corroborates this idea.
