The Rate of Precipitation of Copper Aluminide in the Silver Rich Silver-Copper-Aluminum Alloys

In order to determine the best annealing temperature at which to age-harden the alloys, hardness tests on speci­men annealed for different lengths of time at different temperatures were made.

The Electrical Conductivity of the Copper-Aluminum Alloys.

Among the many aluminum alloys which have been studied are the binary copper-aluminum alloys. These have proven to be among the most useful of the alumi­num alloys thus far worked upon.

The Effect of Manganese and Magnesium on the Hardening of Copper-Aluminum Alloys

During recent years, duralumin and all aluminum alloys have been made the object of much discussion regarding their hardening mechanism. The commercial success of nearly all of the alloys of aluminum and mag­nesium is dependent on their ability to age or precipitation harden.

An Investigation of the Properties of some of the White Metal Alloys

Although there is no standardized list of alloys, most investigators have, to avoid confusion, concurred in at least grouping the metals under several general heads. Precious metals: gold, silver and the platinum group; the light metals: aluminum and magnesium; the non-ferrous metals (excluding all steels and iron-base alloys); and the antifriction metals.

The Age-Hardening of Magnesium with Aluminum and Zinc

Magnesium is one of the most active elements and forms oxides, nitrides, and carbides, but not hydrides. Due to its activity, low melting point, low strength when unalloyed, and the difficulty with which it is worked, magnesium has not been and is not at present well developed.

Age Hardening of Copper-Aluminum Alloy Castings

Age hardening occurs in alloys of the solid solution type containing a hardening constituent, be it metal or metallic compound, which is more soluble in the solvent phase at higher temperatures than at lower ones.
