Book Description
Downtrodden and powerless, Planeswalker Tezzeret must do everything he can to return to his former glory—even if it means relying on old enemies From the ashes of defeat, Tezzeret rises again. Beaten to within an inch of his life and left for dead by the psychic sorcerer Jace Beleren, Tezzeret has lost control of the Infinite Consortium—an interplanar cabal he commanded with a power and influence few in the Multiverse have ever achieved. Now he must turn to a former enemy for help: the dragon Nicol Bolas, perhaps the only Planeswalker in the Multiverse powerful enough to get him back on his feet. Bolas, however, has his reservations. What can Tezzeret give him that he doesn’t already have? So begins Tezzeret’s search for the secret of etherium—a magical alloy infused with all the power of the Blind Eternities—thought to have been lost with the disappearance of the great sphinx, Crucius the Mad. Tezzeret’s quest is clear, but his thirst for revenge clouds his decisions. Will he achieve his goal, or will he be bested by his own ambition?

Materials Testing for the Metal Forming Industry

Author: Klaus Pöhlandt
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642502415
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 239

Book Description
This book is addressed to both research scientists at universities and technical institutes and to engineers in the metal forming industry. It is based upon the author's experience as head of the Materials Science Department of the In stitut fUr Umformtechnik at the University of Stuttgart. The book deals with materials testing for the special demands of the metal for ming industry. The general methods of materials testing, as far as they are not directly related to metal forming, are not considered in detail since many books are available on this subject. Emphasis is put on the determination of processing properties of metallic materials in metal forming, i. e. the forming behavior. This includes the evaluation of stress-strain curves by tensile, up setting or torsion tests as well as determining the limits of formability. Among these subjects, special emphasis has been laid upon recent developments in the field of compression and torsion testing. The transferability of test results is discussed. Some testing methods for the functional properties of workpieces in the final state after metal forming are described. Finally, methods of testing tool materials for bulk metal forming are treated. Testing methods for surface properties and tribological parameters have not been included. The emphasis is put on the deformation of the specimens. Prob lems related to the testing machines and measuring techniques as well as the use of computers are only considered in very few cases deemed necessary.

Nondestructive Rapid Identification of Metals and Alloys by Spot Test

Author: M. L. Wilson
Publisher: ASTM International
ISBN: 0803105282
Category : Alloys
Languages : en
Pages : 58

Book Description
The analyst should familiarize himself with the metals and alloys he expects to encounter including normal processing methods involved in fabricating the finished products. He should become familiar with the flow diagrams and procedures for determining constituent alloys in the various metal families listed in this publication. Normal cleaning processes must be observed on metals at test areas to remove dirt, grease, oxides, or metallic coatings such as nickel, zinc, tin, aluminum, etc., prior to performing a test. Cleaning solvents, files, or abrasives can be used as applicable. After properly cleaning the test area, the analyst should follow detailed instructions for each test relative to chemicals used, number of drops, and time allowed for each reaction. Procedures for determining constituent alloys in various metal families can be used independently of the flow diagrams; however, some tests on the flow diagrams refer the analyst to tests listed in the metal family procedures. Qualitative analysis can be performed on unknown metals and alloys by following the procedures for determining alloys in a given alloy family.

The Metal Monster

Author: Abraham Grace Merritt
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473378281
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266

Book Description
This early work by Abraham Grace Merritt was originally published in 1920 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Metal Monster' is a fantasy novel about Dr. Goodwin's travels in the Himalayas and the mysterious metal beings he encounters there. It tells the tale of adventurous explorers who discover an unknown world. Abraham Grace Merritt - also known by his byline, A. Merritt - was born on the 20th January, 1884 in New Jersey, America. Merritt's stories typically revolved around conventional pulp magazine themes. His heroes are gallant Irishmen or Scandinavians, his villains treacherous Germans or Russians and his heroines often virginal, mysterious and scantily clad. Merritt married twice, once in the 1910s to Eleanore Ratcliffe, with whom he raised an adopted daughter, and again in the thirties to Eleanor H. Johnson.

Corrosion Testing for Metal Finishing

Author: V. E. Carter
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 148316098X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 128

Book Description
Corrosion Testing for Metal Finishing provides metal finishers with a range of test methods as well as guidance in the choice of method for a particular finish. There is a wide range of corrosion test methods available, the majority being the subject of Standard Specifications or being brought to Standards status. With many product Standards there is a choice of test methods available to met the Standard requirements. It is hoped that the relevant choice may be obtained more easily as a result of the information published in this book. The book outlines the apparatus and procedure for each test method and discusses its applicability to different metals and finishes. Indications are given of the nature and extent of the corrosion which develops in the test. Reference is also made to the relevant Standards for each test method. The book begins with a discussion of the basic requirements for corrosion testing of finished metal products. Subsequent chapters are devoted to testing procedures such as humidity tests, salt fog tests, industrial atmosphere test, porosity test, and anti-perspiration tests.
