The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick May 1936

The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The use of zinc as a structural metal has been militated against by two of its properties, namely, its low tensile strength and its susceptibility to grain growth. The importance of these factors can be appreciated when it is realized that the tensile strength of coarsely crystalline cast zinc is 4,000 pounds per square inch, while finely crystalline cast zinc has a tensile strength of 12,000 pounds per square inch.

A Metallographic Study Of Primitive Copper Work., John A. Alley

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The field of archaeology and that of metallurgy appear to be widely separated and in no way related. Work done in recent years, however, tends to show that, in many ways, the metallurgist can supplement and enhance the information gain­ed by the archaeologist, at least in regard to those objects which have been made of metal.

Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brasses, Thomas Barker Jr. May 1935

Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brasses, Thomas Barker Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Reclaimed metals, or secondary metals, are becoming of great im­portance in the metal industries of the world. Secondary metals are an important factor in production. The increase in the secondary production of copper is due to many factors. One of these may be its permenance, that is, the metal does not corrode very readily. Another reason for increase in production is the high price paid for it.
