...woman has learned how to paint pictures that will last forever-or at least 1,000 years-but now she can't paint them any more. For ten years tall, dark-eyed, strikingly chic Chicago socialite Buell Mullen crusaded for an art new-fashioned to fit a chromium, copper and aluminum age and developed a method of painting on metal. Now she has only enough war metal on hand to see her through this year. A mural commissioned by International Business Machines has been shelved for the duration, because neither she nor the company cares...
Dolomite and Kilowatt. To get more U.S. manganese, alumina, magnesium, chromium, vanadium and phosphates-all scarce and all vital- Ickes had fairly specific immediate plans. He knows of 2,683,000 tons of recoverable manganese hidden in small ore bodies; eight mills and three hydrometallurgical plants could turn it into a four years' supply within five years. The Bureau of Mines has a two-stage process for getting alumina from a variety of domestic clays, shales and feldspars; if WPB would specify this process in future alumina plants instead of the commercial Bayer process, it would save the long...
Shotwelding is a refinement of spot welding designed for stainless steel (usual formula: 18% chromium, 8% nickel), whose great tensile strength-four times that of ordinary carbon steel-is lost when it is heated to 1,100° to 1,600°. The Shotwelding electrodes stab the metal for 1/10 th 1/20 th of a second, heating it so instantaneously through its danger zone to its 2,700° fusing point that the alloy's unique strength is not affected. Invented by Budd Manufacturing Co. (and used for making stainless steel railroad coaches), Shotwelding may well make steel planes...
Painters, like other businessmen, now face priorities. Foreseeing virtual confiscation of certain key materials like titanium white, cadmium and chromium pigments, Manhattan's American Artists' Professional League (2,200 members) recently petitioned Washington for cooperation in keeping artists supplied with their annual ration of paint (about a gallon apiece). For some 35,000 U.S. citizens who make their living painting pictures that gallon of paint is a necessity...
