The Electrolytic Deposition of Chromium Upon Aluminum

The purpose or this investigation is primarily to determine the best conditions for plating chromium on aluminum. The work was carried out with the hope of obtaining coherent deposits, and of determin­ing the conditions under which such deposits may be duplicated.

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 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.

The Age-Hardening of Aluminum with MgZn2

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the age-hardening of aluminum with magnesium and zinc in such proportions as to conform to the compound MgZn2. Because of a lack of time and proper equipment, the only property investigated was the hardness as indicated by the Rockwell Superficial Hardness Tester.

The Determination of Aluminum in the Presence of Manganese and Iron by the Use of a Mercury Cathode

Since 1880, when Wolcott Gibbs made the suggestion that mercury could be used as a cathode in gravimetric electroanalysis, many articles have appeared in literature either criticizing the method or citing successful results which have been obtained by it.

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.

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 Anodic Oxidation of Aluminum in a Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte

When aluminum is allowed to stand in air or is heated in air, a thin oxide film is produced on the metal. If aluminum is made the anode in a suitable electrolyte and a current applied, a coating is obtained which is similar to that produced in air, but may be effected much quicker. This film is thicker, harder, more resistant to corrosion and abrasion, and more adhesive than the natural oxide. The film is porous and makes an excellent adsorptive for dyes and pigments.

Aluminum - Bronze Compacts and their Possible Use as a Bearing Material

In the modern aspect of powder metallurgy, the first use of a sintering process was in making filaments for incandescent electric lamps.In the short while from the day of Edison to the pres­ent, the science of working with metal powders has advanced by leaps and bounds.
