Pipes In Steel Ingots As Exemplified By Casting Wax, Herbert William Hard

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This paper presents some experimental data on the size and position of pipes steel ingots as exemp1ified by casting wax under various conditions and noting the size and location of the pipes formed.

The results tend to show that the length of the pipe is decreased by:

1. Slow casting

2. By casting large end up instead of down

3. By retarding the cooling of the top

Comparison Of Moe's Scale Of Hardness With The Rockwell, Brinell, And Scaleroscope Scales., Herbert William Hard

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Moe's scale of hardness as used in mineralogy is admittedly rather indefinite, and no exact hardnesses are measured. The Rockwell, Brinell, and Scaleroscope machines give quite definite results which may be easily reproduced at any time.

The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether any definite relation exists between Moe's hardness and the hardness as measured by those machines commonly used for the determination of hardness of metals. If such a relation were found it would provide a more definite and accurate measure of the hardness of minerals.

Constitution And Specific Gravity Of The Ternary Mattes Cu2S-Sb2S3-Pbs, Herbert William Hard

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The constitution of the ternary mattes Cu₂S PbS Sb₂S₃ has never been completely investigated nor has there been any attempt to draw the complete ternary diagram. The following work is intended to [be] a contribution towards completion of this diagram by determining the specific gravity of different mattes and by pointing out some which show peculiarities of structure.

The Electrical Resistance Of Metals And Alloys In Their Hard And Soft States, Noah David Gerchesvky, Charles Becker Hoskins

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It is known that the electrical resistance of annealed metals is usually smaller than that of metals in their cold worked state. The curve showing the relation between electrical resistance and annealing temperature reaches a minimum; continued annealing at higher temperature produces an increase in the electrical resistance. In the case of alloys it has been noted that a second decrease occurs at higher annealing temperature.

The following work corroborates the observance of previous investigations. The electrical resistance of cold worked copper, gold, nickel, and iron decreased with annealing and then increased, the minimum being around 300° C. or 400° …

The Effect Of Cobalt Upon Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of Zinc Sulphate Solutions, Joseph Newton, Louis Sanders Nuckols

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The detrimental effect of the presence of cobalt upon the current efficiency, in the commercial production of zinc by electrolysis, has been recognized for some time. Most authorities differ upon the maximum amount of cobalt allowable. This is due to the fact that the presence of other impurities either increases or diminishes the detrimental effects of the cobalt.

The following tests were made with the object in view of ascertaining the relation, if any, between the amount of cobalt present and the current efficiency during the electrolysis of an otherwise pure zinc sulfate solution.

The results obtained from these observations …
