Other chemists as learned as Professor Keyes, however, doubt the practicability of his electroplating with aluminum. He takes an aluminum salt (like aluminium bromide), dissolves it in an organic solution (ordinary electroplating uses metal salts in water), submerges the object to be coated, and through both solution and object passes a direct electric current. The procedure is very difficult to carry through, is expensive-and so probably not generally useful. Aluminum Co. of America is not using...
...limited. Germans are using this process in a semi-commercial way. Another is to heat iron and steel in contact with aluminum. This calorizing process (exploited by Calorizing Co. of America at Pittsburgh, a General Electric offshoot) helps prevent oxidation, but reputedly little else. Lastly there is spraying objects-of wood, paper, metal, etc.-with aluminum particles. An aluminum wire is fed through an electric arc whence an air blast blows the melting aluminum against its carrier object, just as paint or lacquer is blown. This (a Swiss method) produces a porous aluminum coating little protective against acids...
...something new in farm magazines has been invented. Monthly at Rochester, N. Y., there used to be published Rural Life & Farm Stock Journal.
