The Effect Of Clays On The Properties Of Masonry Cement, William Joseph Smothers Jan 1940

The Effect Of Clays On The Properties Of Masonry Cement, William Joseph Smothers

Bachelors Theses

"Portland cement is not a material of great antiquity. It was discovered only a little over a century ago and quite by accident. It has been the custom in the manufacture of hydraulic limes to heat argillaceous limestones to temperatures not greatly above that at which the carbon dioxide would be liberated, but this process was carried out in a stack furnace under conditions such that some parts of the material were heated to temperatures which produced sintering. These hard lumps of sintered material were discarded because they were so much more difficult to grind than the unsintered However, in …

The Production Of High Alumina Refractories Bonded With Lumnite Refractory Cement, Joseph Lewis Hoffman Jan 1940

The Production Of High Alumina Refractories Bonded With Lumnite Refractory Cement, Joseph Lewis Hoffman

Bachelors Theses

"Users of refractories are constantly demanding a better product. There is a demand for a satisfactory neutral or basic refractory with a P.C.E. equivalent of cone 35 or better. A refractory with a very high alumina content would seem to solve this problem, however, the main difficulty has been to bond the unplastic alumina. From the literature it was learned that Lumnite cement has been satisfactory in the manufacture of a refractory concrete. Therefore this investigation was carried out to determine the adaptability of bonding corundum with Lumnite"--Introduction, page 1.

Constitution And Properties Of Manganese-Copper Alloys, James Harrison Jacobs Jan 1940

Constitution And Properties Of Manganese-Copper Alloys, James Harrison Jacobs

Masters Theses

"This work was undertaken because of the recently revived interest in the use of manganese as an alloying element. This revival of interest has been mainly due to the development of the process for electro-deposition of manganese by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Prior to the work of the bureau of Mines there was no commercial source of high purity manganese. Manganese made by the electrolytic process contains less than .03% impurities, while manganese made by other methods contains as high as 3% impurities. The use of high purity manganese as a base for alloys should open up an …

The Age Hardening Of Silver With Copper-Silicide, Joseph Edward Shaw May 1939

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 Copper With Manganese Silicide., Gordon A. Davis May 1939

The Age Hardening Of Copper With Manganese Silicide., Gordon A. Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The increase in hardness is attributed to the manganese silicide being precipitated from solid solution and deposited between crystal planes. The subsequent softening which occurs on prolonging the period of reheating is believed to be due to an agglomeration of the dispersed hardening agent.

Effects Of Zirconium Compounds On A Bright Glaze, Stuart Dods Jan 1939

Effects Of Zirconium Compounds On A Bright Glaze, Stuart Dods

Bachelors Theses

"The standard method for producing opacity and to some extend sic mattness in a glaze has always been the use of small amounts of tin oxide. This oxide, however, is very expensive and tends to fluccuate sic in price over a wide range due to world market conditions. The ceramic industry, therefore, has been searching for some substitutes for the tin oxide with some success. At the present time zinc oxide, antimony oxide, and zirconium oxide are used with varying degrees of success as opacifiers. Zirconium oxide and compounds are less soluble than the other oxides previously used. Therefore, it …

A Process For Making Refractory Insulating Brick, Albert Lloyd Tetley Jan 1939

A Process For Making Refractory Insulating Brick, Albert Lloyd Tetley

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this study was to investigate the fundamental principles of producing an insulating brick by making the pore structure of air bubbles entrapped in a clay slip. Since a clay water mixture or any material containing entrapped air will loose this air when placed under vacuum, it is thought that placing the clay slips under a pressure would cause a considerable pore structure in the slip when the pressure is released. In the common method of making insulting brick, the fired brick must be ground to size as they cannot be molded to a definite size and shape. …

A Study On The Origin Of Banded Agate, James E. Driscoll Jun 1938

A Study On The Origin Of Banded Agate, James E. Driscoll

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Agate in any of its varieties presents numerous problems in regard to its origin. Many types have been described and their beauty elaborated upon, but little has been written concerning their formation and the problems involved. The genesis of agate implicates an amazing complexity of physical and colloid­al chemistry, as well as, various principles of geology.

Underground Stratigraphy Of Montana, Virgil R. Chamberlain Jun 1938

Underground Stratigraphy Of Montana, Virgil R. Chamberlain

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this thesis is to study the subsurface stratigraphy of the state of Montana from information acquired from well logs, composite logs, and measured sections. Underground stratigraphy is important for the intelligent prospecting for oil, gas, or water. A knowledge of the strata beneath us can be gathered only by measurements of numerous outcrops or by deep drilling with careful sampling or logging of the formations passed through.
