Lacking nickel for hardening steel in armor plate, they first substituted chromium and molybdenum alloys, then used thin sheets of steel bonded together, which require much less alloy for hardening than does a single thick plate. The analysis showed the Germans used their small supply of alloy metals again & again, by painstakingly sorting the scrap from their wrecked armor, according to its alloy content...
...born alloy so magnetic (it can lift 4,000 times its own weight) that FBI plans to use it to fish in rivers and ponds for criminals' discarded weapons and other metallic clues...
...department-store friends. He chucked his vacation plans and made a deal: Reynolds would help the Mexican streamline his production, take exclusive distribution rights in exchange. While he was at it he also got another Mexican businessman to go into the mass production of a silver-plated zinc alloy safety razor to wholesale in the U.S. for 52?; apiece. Reynolds guessed that he could sell several hundred thousand of them in the razor-short...
...experts would probably concentrate on getting maximum production from China's steel furnaces. Alloy steel and other critical materials not available in China would still be flown in over the Hump. The Americans would also try to increase liquid fuel production against the day when U.S. trucks would roll again up the Burma Road...
Durham & Cheadle then developed a zinc alloy for the job (pure zinc soon gets coated with an oxide that interferes with electrolysis), and adapted their discovery to protect condensers, hulls, bulkheads, ballast tanks, etc. The device has already worked well on dozens of ships. So far as condensers, specifically, are concerned, Cheadle figures that his electrolysis eliminator doubles or triples normal life...
