Laser assisted machining is one of several advanced techniques being explored at the General Electric Research and Development Center in Schenectady, N.Y. to improve productivity and lower costs in the metalworking industry. In their experiments,...
The first commercial production of titanium metal resulted, in large part, from DuPont research. The metal has excellent corrosion resistance and strength-weight ratio. The world's first small scale commercial production of the ductile titanium...
A compacted billet of TD Nickel, DuPont's new high temperature alloy, is hoisted into a hydrogen sintering furnace at the company's Metals Center in Baltimore. The billet is heated to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which raises the density of the new...

Clear or colored glass marbles drop from the storage container into the compact electric furnace where they are melted at about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The molten glass oozes through 102 pinpricks in the platinum alloy bushing emerging as hair...
American Steel & Wire Company, subsiiary of United States Steel Corporation South Works, Worcester, Mass. Bull-block used in making a single reduction on very heavy steel rod . Plain carbon and alloy steel wire for the fabrication of heavy bolts...
A woman riveter in a Consolidated Vultee aircraft plant receives a supply of once cold aluminum alloy rivets, wrapped in cellophane envelopes, similar to those developed by DuPont for frozen foods. The film keeps the rivets cold two or three times...
Aluminum alloy rivets in the little cellophane envelope at the left will remain cold and therefore are drivable for an hour or an hour and a half, because of the insulating property of the cellophane, instead of only a half hour, as was the case...
The flame of an acetylene torch is shot through a tube of TD nickel, a new alloy, in a demonstration of the metal's stability at high temperatures. The new metal, produced at the DuPont Metals Center in Baltimore, is designed for use in space...
A graphic demonstration of the high temperature strength of TD nickel, DuPont's new alloy of 98% nickel and 2% thorium. The TD nickel bar reaches red heat, but does not fail at 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit under a load of 6,000 pounds per square inch....

Bars of TD Nickel, a new alloy developed by DuPont for high temperature use in missiles and space vehicles, are displayed by William Wartel, technical supervisor at the DuPont Metals Center in Baltimore. The starting material is a powder containing...
Developed especially for the purpose and backed by continuous mill experience since 1941, the DuPont Sodium Hydride Descaling Process is essentially a chemically activated fused caustic soda cleaning bath. Advantages over conventional pickling and...
