The Elastic Constants for Wrought Aluminum Alloys (open access)

The Elastic Constants for Wrought Aluminum Alloys

"There are several constants which have been devised as numerical representations of the behavior of metals under the action of loadings which stress the metal within the range of elastic action. Some of these constants, such as Young's modulus of elasticity in tension and compression, shearing modulus of elasticity, and Poisson's ratio, are regularly used in engineering calculations. Precise tests and experience indicate that these elastic constants are practically unaffected by many of the factors which influence the other mechanical properties of materials and that a few careful determinations under properly controlled conditions are more useful and reliable than many determinations made under less favorable conditions" (p. 1).

The Determination of T at the Dropping Mercury Electrode in Hex Plant Ammonia and Peroxide Decantrates

Inroduction: "A study of the literature, particularly the work done by R. Strubl, I.W. Kolthoff and S.B. Smith, indicated that a polargraphic method for the estimation of T could be devised which would not sacrifice reasonable accuracy for rapidity. Work was begun with the intention of developing such a method."

Transference and Adsorption on Glass of Carrier Free Zirconium (open access)

Transference and Adsorption on Glass of Carrier Free Zirconium

.Technical report describing the transference experiments. The carrying of zirconium and columbium by ferric hydroxide has a very marked dependence on pH. In the experiments it was noticed that the concentration of Zr activity in various solutions changed with time This indicated that the Zr was being adsorbed on the glass. The carrier free trace is adsorbed on glass. This effect must be considered in experiments with Zr tracer in glass apparatus.

The Effect of Impurities Upon Sulfide Refractories (open access)

The Effect of Impurities Upon Sulfide Refractories

Abstract. A summary of the effect of metal, carbon, silicon, and oxygen impurities upon the various sulfide refractories is given and the proper procedures for elimination of the impurities are discussed. CeS which is properly prepared can be handled in air without danger of catching fire or appreciable oxidation. 650 satisfactory crucibles have been made to date using sulfides which were screened and pressed in air with less than 0.5% oxygen pickup. The other cerium and thorium sulfides are even more inert to oxidation than is CeS. Phase diagram possibilities are discussed for the cerium and thorium sulfide and oxy-sulfide systems. Further study of the ThS has shown that ThS crucibles are the highest melting and least volatile of the sulfide crucibles and ThS may be used for remelting of some metals up to 2000 degrees C. ThS crucibles appear to be the most suitable containers for metal reductions.

Preliminary Report on a Colorimetric Method for the Determination of Microgram Quantities of Thorium : Experiments in the Dissolution of O2 Metal [UO2] (open access)

Preliminary Report on a Colorimetric Method for the Determination of Microgram Quantities of Thorium : Experiments in the Dissolution of O2 Metal [UO2]

Abstract. thorium can be precipitated as a salt of p-dimethylaminoazophenylarsonic acid at a pH of about 1.5. the precipitate, collected on a sintered glass filter is washed with dilute ammonium hydroxide to dissolve the dye. the amount of thorium is determined by measuring the concentration of the dye spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 millimicrons. Zirconium, which interferes, can be separated and determined using the same reagent in strong hydrochloric. the behavior of thorium metal upon treatment with various acids and upon fusion withKHSO4 is described. three satisfactory procedures are given for dissolving the metal with sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and by a potassium hydrogen sulfate fusion. The laboratory was presented with the problem of analyzing for a large number of elements in O2 metal. the results of a systematic study of methods for effecting solution of the metal are offered here since they may be of some interest and use to other laboratories. The four methods which effected complete solution of the metal are (1) Sulfuric acid method; (2) Fusion method; (3) Phosphoric acid method; and (4) Nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid method.
