...Metallurgist L. R. Jackson and Physicist Howard Willis Russell of the Battelle Memorial Institute (Columbus, Ohio) realized that if they could vary the ingredients of an alloy so as to set the Curie point at any desired temperature, they would have a highly sensitive substance for thermostatic control. Experimenting with several mixtures, they finally got what they wanted with an alloy of iron, nickel, chromium, silicon...
Four years ago Herbert W. Graham, supervising metallurgist for the fourth largest U. S. steel maker, Jones & Laughlin, persuaded his company to build a miniature steel mill for research. This $175,000 toy mill's open-hearth furnace, ingot molds, soaking pit and rollers produce one-inch square bars...
...company dominance of the seamless pipe market. Hitherto manganese, the element which gives, steel its pliability, has been apt to cluster instead of spreading evenly through the steel; now J. & L. is feeding manganese into the molten metal in carefully measured and shaped lots. The new process, says Metallurgist Graham, is like using bits of quick-dissolving granulated sugar in coffee rather than lump sugar. The analogy would be more accurate, he adds, if lump sugar caused rheumatism and granulated...
Builder. Psychologist Johnson O'Connor, who started with astronomical and mathematical research and was a metallurgist before he became interested in industrial personnel problems, is director of the "Human Engineering Laboratory" in Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken. N. J. From testing 20,000 students, businessmen, professional workers, people in all walks of life, he has concluded that "an extensive knowledge of the exact meanings of English words accompanies outstanding success in this country more often than any other single characteristic which the Human Engineering Laboratory has been able to isolate and measure." His laboratory has just published the Johnson...
...actual practice. This necessitates the use of a variety of materials for the construction of tools, machinery, and other products. Among these, metals and metallic alloys stand preeminent. Industrial builders in all fields are constantly demanding metals which will successfully meet more severe and exacting needs. Unless the metallurgist is able to supply this need further advance must of necessity come to a halt. The remarkable progress in the art of metallurgy during the last thirty years has been accomplished by the rigorous application of scientific methods leading to the development of the science of metallography...
