Abstract
THIS volume contains the papers presented at the annual meeting of the institute, with the discussion and correspondence to which they gave rise, together with abstracts of papers relating to the non-ferrous metals and the industries connected therewith. Among the papers is the Third Report to the Corrosion Committee, of which an account was given in NATURE on April 6. The paper by Mr. Withey on the analysis of aluminium and its alloys is a very good piece of work which will probably constitute the standard of reference for some years. The aluminium of to-day is liable to contain copper, iron, zinc, silicon, silica, nitrogen, and sodium. It contains notably more copper than the metal produced ten years ago, but in other respects is a purer metal.
