FISKE Western Editor, The lron Age LASTIC molding offers a challenge and an oppor tunity to the metal-working industry. The development of plastics has been proceeding with rapid strides. Thus far, the effect of plastic products has been felt most in the ‘“consumer’’ field, from the standpoint of competition with steel or non ferrous materials. This competition, however, may prove a beneficial one, since the consumption stimulus of attractive plas tic molded parts may increase instead of diminish the call for older types of material, which frequently constitute a major portion of the unit design.

The author points out the great degree of hard Steel ness developed in these steels by cold working. He compares the properties aac »f an 18-8, an 18 per cent chrome and a plain carbon steel before and ifter cold working. Certain measures are indicated which he regards es : | 3 sential for relieving strains due to cold working and thus preventing crack ing. Properly annealed, the 18-8 type will permit of considerable drawing before it reaches the stage of rupture. Reductions approximating 40 per cent may be safely made under certain conditions. vwvyv 1 ' i f the sal y d drawn to \% in, Fig. T Lee epresent tne highly old worked ‘tained by i irtensitic and magnetic structure asurin the f the ample after having been cold etore and ifter darawt from 0.218 in to 0.062 in I I] (Table II) all ; Translating this language to 18-3 ré . : or strip which has been deep rawn, we nave the metal going I ign tne ime cycle of changes I I | . . . t al Ad : from the soft, neat-treated, austenitic . . . i K-hardenins tructure to the harder and somewhat i 5, and reference to ttle tructure after deep drawing q * eral Ww i N me Che foregoing data have been in Be that take place ided merely to show the characte} ¥ lk r ° 7 . , a} : if these metals and to enable a vi y t yy ist y . 4 : - , a ( el inderstanding of the nece | } + ty a =. 1 é reat ! r | T ' ; \ del lation. y ' rawit } \ eal 18-8 will per } ‘ rawing eto Fiz.
