Page 428 - Fundamental Aspects of Stress Corrosion Cracking, RW Staehle. AJ Forty, and D. van Rooyen, Ed., National Association of Corrosion Engineers, 1969, p 398 1 50.
Page 311 - A resistance- welding process wherein coalescence is produced, simultaneously over the entire area of abutting surfaces, by the heat obtained from resistance to the flow of electric current between the two surfaces, and by the application of pressure after heating is substantially completed. Flashing and upsetting are accompanied by expulsion of metal from the joint.
Page 121 - The term shape memory alloys (SMA) is applied to that group of metallic materials that demonstrate the ability to return to some previously defined shape or size when subjected to the appropriate thermal procedure.
Page 405 - H3PO4 condensation chambers are high (approximately 10 mm/yr, or 400 mils/yr), the rates are lower than those of some other materials. Therefore, the use of copper tubes is feasible for this application. The previous discussion on the effect of H3PO4 on copper and its alloys emphasizes the value of keeping service records. Such records are valuable for anticipating repairs, making changes to minimize the effect of various factors, and selecting materials for replacement parts. Hydrochloric acid (HCI)...
Page 121 - The alloy undergoes a martensitic transformation of a type that allows the alloy to be deformed by a twinning mechanism below the transformation temperature. The deformation is then reversed when the twinned structure reverts upon heating to the parent phase.
Page 426 - ... environment is believed to give an accelerated ranking of the relative or absolute degree of stress-corrosion cracking susceptibility for different brasses. It has been found to correlate well with the corresponding service ranking in environments that cause stress-corrosion cracking which is thought to be due to the combined presence of traces of moisture and ammonia vapor. The extent to which the accelerated ranking correlates with the ranking obtained after long-term exposure to environments...

Page 426 - Standard Test Method for Use of Mattsson's Solution of pH 7.2 to Evaluate the StressCorrosion Cracking Susceptibility of Copper-Zinc Alloys (1985).
Page 57 - Alloys (Continued on p 74) (a) F, flat products; R, rod; W, wire; T, tube; P, pipe; S, shapes, (b) Softest to hardest commercial forms. The strength of the standard copper alloys depends on the temper (annealed grain size or degree of cold work) and the section thickness of the mill product. Ranges cover standard tempers for each alloy, (c) E, excellent; G, good; F, fair, (d) Based on 100% for C360000 (e) C10400.
Page 339 - Immersion. (NaCI replaceable by 1 drop HCI per 25 ml solution; add just before using.) Follow with FeCI3 or other contrast etch.
