A Preliminary Investigation Of The Titanium-Copper Equilibrium System, August Robert Savu Jan 1949

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Titanium-Copper Equilibrium System, August Robert Savu

Masters Theses

"The element titanium has a high degree of chemical activity at room temperature when in a finely divided condition. In the massive state this activity is only exhibited at high temperatures. The powdered metal is highly pyrophoric. Titanium forms quite stable sulphides and carbides, although these are subject to oxidation at high temperatures. It also form nitrides. Titanium being a transitional element forms hydrides with hydrogen which are stable at ordinary temperatures, but which dissociate at red heat liberating the hydrogen and leaving the metallic titanium in a very active state. Alloys are formed with such metals as aluminum, manganese, …

The Lithium Tungsten Bronzes, Shun Sheng Hsu Jan 1949

The Lithium Tungsten Bronzes, Shun Sheng Hsu

Masters Theses

"The 'tungsten bronzes are a series of anionic substitutional solid solutions of alkali or alkaline earth metal metatungstates and tungstic oxide. They are neither alloys or intermetallic compounds, the term "tungsten bronzes" was adopted because of their remarkable metallic properties -- e.g., high electrical conductivity, metallic luster on the crystal, and high specific gravity. Also owing to their intense and vivid colors and chemical inactivity it was possible to use them in the paint industry as a substitute for the so-called "bronze powders", the latter term is applied to the finely divided metal powders, such as aluminum, copper, brass, and …

X-Ray Investigations Of The Metal Deposits Resulting From The Electrochemical Displacement Process, Cheng Chih Fang Jan 1949

X-Ray Investigations Of The Metal Deposits Resulting From The Electrochemical Displacement Process, Cheng Chih Fang

Masters Theses

"The principle of electrochemical displacement has been well established in the science of chemistry and applied as a commercial process in some metallurgical processes, such as the cementation process and the immersion method of metal coatings. According to the EMF series of the metals, the upper, the more electronegative metal,* (*Here the term of 'electronegative' means the metal possessing high electrolytic solution pressure and going into the solution with the formation of positive ions. Some authors preferred to use 'electropositive' instead of 'electronegative', referring to the ions which are electropositive during dissolution.) will displace the lower, the more electropositive one, …

Comparative Study Of The Collecting Property Of Naphthenic Acids With Oleic Acid As Applied To Calcite, Hematite, Barite, And Fluorspar, Siddhi Nath Mukherji Jan 1949

Comparative Study Of The Collecting Property Of Naphthenic Acids With Oleic Acid As Applied To Calcite, Hematite, Barite, And Fluorspar, Siddhi Nath Mukherji

Masters Theses

"The present investigation was undertaken to find out any comparable collecting property of some of the industrial naphthenic acids available in the market with that of commercial grade of oleic acid so that some information may be available in selecting naphthenic acids as flotation collectors. In the flotation industry, usefulness of oleic acid as non-metallic minerals collector is well established. On the other hand, the use of naphthenic acids as flotation collector has been reported only in few cases. Even in those cases, no attempt has been made to correlate their collecting properties with that of their physical and chemical …

Preparation Of Copper Single Crystals By Means Of Powder Metallurgy Methods, Wei-Kung Chang Jan 1949

Preparation Of Copper Single Crystals By Means Of Powder Metallurgy Methods, Wei-Kung Chang

Masters Theses

"Since different mechanical properties of metals result from different grain size became known, the metallurgists have been interested in finding out the true nature of the grain boundaries. Consequently, several different theories concerning the mechanism of recrystallization, grain growth, and the structure of metals were advanced and studied. These threw much light on the difference of properties between polycrystalline metals and single crystals of the same metals. The single crystals of metals were studied because they enabled the investigator to determine the important points of metallic behavior. The first work on single crystals was rather obscure and limited to isolated, …

Evaluation Of Quenching Media Using The End-Quench Hardenability Test, Subodh C. Das Gupta Jan 1949

Evaluation Of Quenching Media Using The End-Quench Hardenability Test, Subodh C. Das Gupta

Masters Theses

"The purpose of the thesis was to evaluate the quenching speed of different quenching media by studying their behaviour in relation to hardenabilities of steels, using the standard A.S.T.M. End-quench Test. At the outset an understanding of the term "Hardenability", so extensively used in industrial heat-treatment, is necessary, The property of a steel, of hardening on quenching to various depths beneath the surface is referred to as the 'Hardenability". It may simply be called the "susceptibility to hardening". Hardenability should be distinguished from the "Hardening capacity", which represents the magnitude of the hardness achieved. The chief factors which affect the …

An Investigation Of The Production Of Multicarbide Of Tungsten And Titanium From Wo₃ - Tih₂ - C Mixtures, Chi-Mei Hsiao Jan 1949

An Investigation Of The Production Of Multicarbide Of Tungsten And Titanium From Wo₃ - Tih₂ - C Mixtures, Chi-Mei Hsiao

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this research was to investigate the possibility of producing the multicarbides of tungsten and titanium from a tungsten oxide-titanium hydride-carbon mixture. It appears to be worthwhile to carry out the reduction, carburization, and pre-alloying in one process, i.e. reducing tungsten oxide with the dissociated hydrogen from titanium hydride and the added carbon; then carburizing the reduced tungsten metal and dissociated titanium metal; at last, pre-alloying the mixture of TiC and WC. The replacement of titanium hydride with titanium oxide seems to be more direct, simple, and economical process; but the difficulty in the reduction of titanium oxide …

Reduction Of Zinc Sulphide In A Vacuum, Tien-Shih Liu Jan 1949

Reduction Of Zinc Sulphide In A Vacuum, Tien-Shih Liu

Masters Theses

"The successful large scale commercial application of high vacuum for high temperature metallurgical operations is a comparatively new development. The use of Pidgeon and the carbothermic processes for the production of magnesium during the war forced a perfection of both equipments and techniques for high vacuum operations. This opens broadly the way for a great expansion of vacuum metallurgy. Vacuum operation is thus no more a laboratory method - it is a kind of industrial practice. Many metallurgical operations, which cannot be carried out by ordinary processes, are made feasible when conducted in a reduced pressure. typical examples are the …

Geology And Geological Structure Of The Alberta And Saskatchewan Plains, William E. Topley Jun 1948

Geology And Geological Structure Of The Alberta And Saskatchewan Plains, William E. Topley

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Alberta, responsible for ninety per cent of Canada's output, had, by 1947 entered into her fifth year of production decline. Only ten per cent of Canada's oil requirements were secured from home fields. Ninety per cent had to be imported, mainly from the United States. How long could imports be maintained on present levels? During the year, the United States had started rationing; in one sector of its domain. Would this become general? If so, what was the answer for Canada?

Roasting And Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Jerry D. Murphy May 1948

Roasting And Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Jerry D. Murphy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The United States, although the leading consumer of chromite, depends almost entirely on imports for its supply. Domestic production of chromite is limited, because high-grade imported ore is plentiful and inexpensive in normal times. There are several large deposits of chromite in the United States, representing millions of tons of low grade ore. These deposits form a strategic reserve that must be used in time of national emergency.

A Study Of The Action Of Various Energizers In The Carburization Of Steel, William N. Warren May 1948

A Study Of The Action Of Various Energizers In The Carburization Of Steel, William N. Warren

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The object of casehardening is to produce articles of steel having a tough or ductile interior and a hard sur­face. Quenching produces a surface somewhat harder than the interior, but in order to obtain a high surface hard­ness, the percentage of alloying elements in the steel must be raised to such an extent that the core or central por­tion becomes hard and brittle also.
