Probing deeper into the mysteries of the atom, Dr. L. R. Van Wert of the Graduate School of Engineering has devised a new method of investigating the atomic structure of metal alloys. The effects of pressures as high as 20,000 atmospheres on the speed with which certain alloys undergo agehardening are studied in his process...
...Wert's experiments in the High Pressure Laboratories of the Jefferson Physics Laboratory, Harvard University, disclosed that pressures of 12,000 atmospheres applied to the alloys during the process of age-hardening measureably decreased the rate of aging of five age-hardenable alloys which he tested...
