The Chemical Action of Oils on Single Crystals of Metals

Description: Note presenting a study of the chemical action of oils on large single crystals of metals in the presence of various gases, with special emphasis placed on the influence of crystal plane. The studies primarily have been concerned with four metals: silver, copper, lead, and iron and four types of oil: pure hydrocarbons with mineral oil as representative, oiliness agents with stearic acid as representative, chemical polishing agents with tricresyl phosphate as representative, and commercial oils … more

Nondestructive Measurement of Residual and Enforced Stresses by Means of X-Ray Diffraction 2: Some Applications to Aircraft Problems

Description: Note presenting tests on the use of x-ray diffraction methods for determining surface stress distributions in notched tensile bars and in the vicinity of a welded joint in aircraft steel tubing. Data on the effects of stress and degree of notching on the principal stresses and stress-concentration factors for flat notched tensile-test specimens were obtained.
