the peculiar qualities of the new alloy.
All sorts of claims are made for t.lis
metal. 1t is said to be the toughest
of steels as well as the hardest. it can
be wrought under the hammer. and it
rolls and presses like the softest Of
Swedish iron, and the reduction to a
minimum of the number of anneal-
ings required by large pieces of fab
r1cation is an important element of
economy.
These are the principal claims which
the navy department is trying to sift
out. So far it has succeeded rather un-
~expectedly in producing an alloy SO
hard that no ordinary tool will touch
1t, which should make it especially
valuable for the teeth Of cutters and
machine tools generally. There is also
a suggestion that such hard metal
might make a good face for armor
plate. But it Is suspected of brittle
ness in this condition, 4 fatal defect,
and an effort is to be made to unite 1t
with a soft and tough steel backing,
making the armor correspond with the
present face hardened armor.
Vanadium Is very expensive, but the
navy department Is promised an abun-
dant supply at low figures in the fu-
ture.
