Titanium and stainless steel rank high among the glamour metals of modern technology. Because they retain their great strength even when heated to high temperatures, they have countless uses in such space-age products as Gemini capsules and jet engines. They would have countless other applications were it not for one exasperating characteristic: they cannot be used for moving parts that rub against other hunks of titanium or stainless steel. When they are, the pieces simply stick together...
...failed. As soon as the metals rub themselves clean, molecules begin moving in both directions across the interface, the area of contact between the two metals. The "seizure" that results is as effective as a weld. Even machining is difficult. When a steel cutting tool is used on stainless steel or titanium, it sticks to the piece it is shaping and cuts out rough chunks instead of smooth chips...
...substantial orders. Japanese businessmen were the biggest buyers, ordered $10 million worth of pig iron and iron ore and large quantities of soybeans and maize. Typically, though, they took home more money than they left behind, made deals to sell the Red Chinese $100 million worth of steel plate, stainless-steel tubing and heavy truck axles. In Peking this week, France will take its turn at supplying Red China's urgent demand. The French are opening a huge industrial exposition for which they carefully selected each exhibit to satisfy concrete interest expressed by potential Red customers...
...anti-fungal prescription market in the five months it has been available. Says Dr. Harry Robinson Jr. of the University of Maryland Medical School: "If the diagnosis of athlete's foot is correct-and often it is not-then treatment with Tinactin is 100% effective." The colorless, odorless, stainless liquid has no known side effects, and it works as well on nearly every other form of external fungus infection. In fact, Tinactin's impressive qualities have already earned New Jersey's Schering Corp. permission from the Food and Drug Administration to call the new medicine a "cure...
...carefully cleansed. An anticoagulant salt solution was forced through the foot's major arteries to flush small blood clots and other circulatory blocks. The lower ends of the two leg bones, the tibia and fibula, as well as some of the talus or anklebone, were trimmed, and two stainless-steel nails were driven up through the heel into the tibia (see diagram). With his ankle fused, Liang's right leg was shortened...
