Page 93 - This consists of two wires, one of platinum and the other of an alloy of 90 per cent. platinum and 10 per cent rhodium.
Page 372 - A magnet pole is of unit strength when it repels an exactly similar pole at a distance of 1 cm. with a force of 1 dyne.
Page 101 - ... bodies into the space around them. Such radiation may (like ordinary white light, which is radiation from the sun) be analysed into a continuous spectrum of waves, differing in frequency. In general, the absolute amount of energy radiated, and its distribution among the various frequencies, depend not only on the temperature of the hot body but also on its intrinsic physical properties : if, however, the body has the property that it absorbs all the radiation that falls on it, without scattering,...
Page 326 - After explaining Thieme's conception of chip removal, which is a pressure process, he adds, "There comes into question not only the resistance to penetration, but also the resistance to the pressing aside of the chip element," and concludes with, "we arrive thus at the law that machinability depends on both hardness (eg, ball hardness )and workability, the difficulty of machining increasing with an increase in either property.
Page 200 - The face-c entered-cubic (FCC) unit cell has an atom at each corner of a cube and an atom in the center of each face of the cube.
Page vi - Mineralogie usw. binuberstreckt." (In the 587043 investigations of recent decades, the study of metals and alloys has been lifted out of the realm of pure empiricism, to which it had previously been confined, and developed into a distinct science whose roots extend into many different related sciences — chemistry, physics, mechanics...
Page v - Technologic erworben hat." (The study of structure offers significant truths to the perceiving mind only. Just as spectacles are of no use to the blind, so structural appearance means nothing to those who have failed to secure comprehensive knowledge in the fields of material research and technology...
Page v - Heyn, whose investigative methods laid the foundation for many advances in metallography, and whose views were often so far in advance of his day that they are only now finding general recognition.
Page vi - American edition is conceived in the spirit of the original volume, and, if there are shortcomings, they must be laid at the door of the translator.
Page v - We know that the metallographer of to-day is no longer merely a microscopist; he is required to be more and more the physicist and the physical chemist.
