Age Hardening Of Copper Antimony Alloys, William R. Stern
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A large number of alloys of varying percentages of copper and antimony were prepared. These alloys were treated in various ways which might be expected to produce age hardening. The effect of cold working was studied in the range where the alloys were malleable.
The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy
The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Many attempts have been made to improve iron and steel and their alloys by the addition of boron. The results obtained were not encouraging for the reason that the amount of boron used, generally from 0.2 to 2.0 per cent is altogether too high. This percentage of boron renders the product hard and brittle and of late the experiments with boron in this connection have been practically abandoned.

The Electroplating Of Cadmium From Sulfate Solutions, Lewis S. Prater
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
It has been proven that cadmium forms a very satisfactory plate on steel, which has to withstand severe corrosion, especially the corrosion of sea water and spray. The metal is now successfully plated electrolytically from cyanide solutions, but wherever work is carried on with cyanide, there is great danger of poisoning to the workers.
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.
