The Mechanical Production Of Zinc Dust, Charles A. Schroer May 1952

The Mechanical Production Of Zinc Dust, Charles A. Schroer

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The object of this thesis is to produce zinc dust suitable for zinc leach purification, by direct application of a mechanical force on a stream of molten zinc.The project is a continuation of work done by Mr. D. S. Gleason, while working for his Master of Science degree in the spring of 1952.


The Construction Of An X-Ray Camera, Emil Bazarnicki May 1952

The Construction Of An X-Ray Camera, Emil Bazarnicki

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The major portion of the construction of the X-ray camera was performed in the machine shop of Montana School of Mines. However, some machine work had to be accomplished in the Butte High Machine Shop, as well as in the machine shop of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company.


Variation Of Induction And Hysteresis Curves For The Heusler Alloy, Cu2mna1, Ford W. Knight May 1952

Variation Of Induction And Hysteresis Curves For The Heusler Alloy, Cu2mna1, Ford W. Knight

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the fundamental magnetic characteristics of induction and hysteresis, for the alloy Cu2MnAl. This is a ternary, ferromagnetic Heusler alloy. The problem is not only to determine these characteristics for the alloy as-cast but to heat treat it and observe the manner in which different heat treat­ments affect these two fundamental magnetic characteristics.


The Mechanical Production Of Zinc Dust, Robert F. Payne May 1952

The Mechanical Production Of Zinc Dust, Robert F. Payne

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It was the purpose of this investigation to delve further into the possibility of producing, by mechanical means, a zinc dust which might be suitable for the puri­fication of zinc leach solution.


The Effect Of Ferric Iron Upon The Current Efficiency And The Deposition Of Copper In The Electrowinning Of Copper From Copper Sulphate Solutions, James L. Owings May 1952

The Effect Of Ferric Iron Upon The Current Efficiency And The Deposition Of Copper In The Electrowinning Of Copper From Copper Sulphate Solutions, James L. Owings

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the hydrometallurgy of copper, probably the most widely used method for the precipitation of copper is by electrolysis using insoluble anodes. The process is similar in many respects to the electrolytic refining of copper; one of the main differences is the use of insoluble anodes in electrowinning as compared to the use of impure copper anodes in electrorefining. Impurities, however, are common to both processes. The nature of these impurities differ and the problem of purifying the electrolyte is also different.


The Immersion Coating Of Indium Upon Magnesium From Sulphate Solutions Containing Flourides, John J. Harrington May 1952

The Immersion Coating Of Indium Upon Magnesium From Sulphate Solutions Containing Flourides, John J. Harrington

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The thesis problem that will be discussed in this report is an investiga­tion of a method of plating a coating of indium upon magnesium and magnesium alloys. The method used to accomplish the final results is the immersion pro­cess. It can be defined as the process of coating a metal with a second metal by immersing the first in a solution containing ions of the second.


The Occurrence Of Molybdenite In The United States, Alaska, Canada, And Newfoundland, Richard W. Brummett May 1952

The Occurrence Of Molybdenite In The United States, Alaska, Canada, And Newfoundland, Richard W. Brummett

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In this study of molybdenite and its occurrence, the pub­lished literature on 66 separate deposits was reviewed, sum­marized, and coordinated. The following descriptions are in­tended to point out the important features of molybdenite oc­currences as described in the literature.


The Metallography Of Aluminum Casting Alloys, Donald D. Goehler May 1952

The Metallography Of Aluminum Casting Alloys, Donald D. Goehler

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this thesis is to supply the Montana School of Mines with an up to date source of information concerning the metallography of aluminum casting alloys. This thesis is designed as a continuing project. Ultimately, it is hoped that a catalog containing all the typical structures of aluminum casting alloys will develop.


The Effect Of Iron Upon The Electrowinning Of Copper With An Amalgam Electrode, John A. Alexander May 1952

The Effect Of Iron Upon The Electrowinning Of Copper With An Amalgam Electrode, John A. Alexander

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Current commercial use of the mercury cathode cell is limited to two types of electrolytic sodium cells-­the Castner cell and the Sorenson cell. Mercury as a cathode medium has also found application in polarographic analysis, a method of a simultaneous quantitative and qualitative analysis of several metal components of solution.


An Investigation Of The Hardening Properties Of Some Alpha Copper Indium Alloys, Charles W. Mcpherson May 1952

An Investigation Of The Hardening Properties Of Some Alpha Copper Indium Alloys, Charles W. Mcpherson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Precipitation hardening alloys has assumed a major role in modern day development of alloys. In his search for stronger, harder materials, the metallurgist has often been limited by the cost of metals which posses the needed properties.


Electroplating Of Chromium, Nickel And Copper Upon Titanium, Stanley O. Fong May 1952

Electroplating Of Chromium, Nickel And Copper Upon Titanium, Stanley O. Fong

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Recently, there has been a great amount of research work done on the metal titanium. Since it is a light weight metal, with unusual strength and good resistance to corrosion, it may be a possible substitute for aluminum and magnesium alloys, or steel.


Dispersing Agents In The Pipette Method Of Soil Analysis, Eugene W. Price May 1952

Dispersing Agents In The Pipette Method Of Soil Analysis, Eugene W. Price

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

For many years the study of sediments has been a major problem in the field of geology. Especially is this true of the branch of sedimentology known as grain-size distribution. Throughout the years many classical experiments have been performed and procedures evolved from them, all with the purpose of a better and easier determination of the grain-size distri­bution of fine sediments, particularly the clays.
