EMBRITTLEMENT of hard-tempered martensite (500°F embrittlement) appears to be coincident with the beginning of the third stage of tempering. During the first stage, primary martensite of steels containing over 0.25 pct C decomposes to a mixture of c carbide and martensite of appreciably constant carbon content close to 0.25 pct.' During the third stage of tempering, cementite forms. In steels with

After an absence of over two years, the writer returned to Leadville in March, 1890. The change which had taken place in the conditions of smelting during so short a time seemed almost incredible. Lead-carbonates had been still further replaced by refractory sulphides, and clean dry ores had been crowded out, to a large extent, by magnesian " fines."

HE high mobility of grain boundaries in zone-refined metals has been particularly demonstrated for lead above 150°C in grain growth studies1 and in the extensive work by Aust and Rutter.1 In these investigations, no elaborate precautions were taken to eliminate oxygen from the zone-refined lead; however the alteration of creep characteristics by oxygen concentrations of less than 5 x 10 -5 wt pet

Oil production in South Arkansas in 1936, estimated to have totaled 10,654,940 bbl., showed a decline of 484,400 bbl., or a little more than 4 per cent from 1935. There are no proration restrictions, as practically all wells reached the pumping stage years ago. Although a new shallow field was discovered in Nevada County, and a deep producing horizon

As a means of lending weight to the activities of its Committee on Industrial Organization, with particular reference to the work on mental hygiene and the prevention of illness, the Institute has recently invited a number of members of the medical profession to become Associates of the Institute. We are glad to observe that the wisdom and utility of this departure have been appreciated by the gold mining industry, in testimony whereof we are pleased to publish the accompanying sketch from the pen of Mr. P. A. Robins, Managing Director of the Hollinger

The Freeport Sulphur Co. built a portable crusher in 1944 that solved a problem that none of the crusher manufacturing companies contacted were able to do. Two of these crushers have now been in service for 6 years, giving satisfactory service in handling a million tons per year, and having a capacity of over 2000 long tons per 8-hr shift. These machines reduce ton size blocks of sulphur to 12 in. and also feed the conveyor system at the rate of 350 long tons per hr per machine.

Much has been written in the past about the non- cataracting ball mill as typified by the installations of the Tennessee Copper Co. at Copperhill and the three units of the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co. in its Humboldt and Republic mills. Because no direct comparisons are available from the Cleveland-Cliffs plants and because the published data of Tennessee Copper Co.'s London mill covered a period of development over several years, it has been difficult for engineers to grasp the full significance of the non-cataracting economics.

The material described below was made at Furnace No. 2, Longdale, Va., Oct. 28, 1907, during a sudden derangement of working, in the course of which the furnace became entirely bridged over and for some time no solid material whatever descended into the hearth. This caused the hearth to become so completely emptied that, at the tuyere-level, a pricker put in at one tuyere could be seen by looking in at the opposite one. The tap-hole was opened and the iron got out with some difficulty. It ran sluggishly, throwing many sparks, but was not

AMONG the many interesting objects to be seen at the Vienna Exhibition last summer, the model of the system of underground transportation by a continually moving chain, adopted at the Hasard collieries, at Micheroux, near Liége, Belgium, was one of the most attractive, and full of valuable suggestion to mining engineers. These collieries are under the superintendence of the celebrated

Australian research scientists at the University of Melbourne's Institute of Materials Research have discovered two methods of extracting metals from raw ore, using brown coal. The discoveries could lead to extensive new markets for the brown coal producers of Australia (boasting the world's largest brown coal deposits in the Latrobe Valley region of Victoria), the United States and West Germany. Research on the extraction processes began at the University's Department of Metallurgy in mid-1969 under the direction of Geoffrey Cullen, manager of the Materials Research Institute. In June of this year. Cullen announced that both metal extraction processes, using brown coal, had proven successful.
