Abstract MST 431 is an alpha-beta type sheet alloy presently being supplied in the solution treated, solution treated and aged, and annealed conditions. Its principal advantage is good formability in the solution treated condition with subsequent high strength capability through an aging treatment. Properties indicate good strength and thermal stability for sheet applications up to 800 F for long times. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ti-30.

The article presents the results of multivariate calculations for the levitation metal melting system. The research had two main goals. The first goal of the multivariate calculations was to find the relationship between the basic electrical and geometric parameters of the selected calculation model and the maximum electromagnetic buoyancy force and the maximum power dissipated in the charge. The second goal was to find quasi-optimal conditions for levitation. The choice of the model with the highest melting efficiency is very important because electromagnetic levitation is essentially a low-efficiency process. Despite the low efficiency of this method, it is worth dealing with it because is one of the few methods that allow melting and obtaining alloys of refractory reactive metals. The research was limited to the analysis of the electromagnetic field modeled three-dimensionally. From among of 245 variants considered in the article, the most promising one was selected characterized by the highest efficiency. This variant will be a starting point for further work with the use of optimization methods.

Abstract A new plasma atomization process was developed for the production of spherical metal powders. This process, unique in its ability to produce large quantities of fine powders (< 75 µm), is especially interesting for value added products such as refractory or reactive metals/alloys powders. The excellent feeding characteristics of spherical powders make them ideal for applications such as injection molding and vacuum plasma spray (VPS) deposition. Powders are known to have a significant influence on the final characteristics of VPS deposited coatings. A variety of factors will control the coating quality, including: powder chemistry, morphology, microstructure, and feeding behaviour. This article includes a review of titanium coatings, and new results obtained using plasma atomized spherical powders.


The present paper includes some experiments suggested by criticisms of Part III of the research, and describes work upon the effect of depth of im­mersion on the corrosion of zinc in potassium chloride solutions. Some of the factors which influence the distribution of corrosion over the metallic surface are discussed with particular reference to the effect of differential aeration. Curves are given showing the effect of concentration of potassium chloride and potassium sulphate on the initial corrosion rate of zinc in tranquil conditions. The experimental methods used are those described in previous papers, supple­mented by micrographic work and a few potential measurements. The criticism has been made that the tranquil conditions in which the present series of experiments is being conducted cause abnormally slow rates of oxygen supply which dictate the corrosion rates; these, therefore, are not considered characteristic of the metal under test, but merely of the rate of penetration of oxygen through the liquid and any corrosion products which cover the metal. It has also been suggested that much faster rates of oxygen supply would be required to bring out the true corrosion characteristics of a metal or even to differentiate between two fairly reactive metals.
