The protective action of small amounts of one metal in another is described; an interesting test proving the protective action of copper in steel is given.--J. W. R.l In recent years much attention has been given to the production of alloys designed to resist atmospheric and chemical corrosion. Some of the better-known products of this nature are tantiron, duriron, copper steel, stainless steel, monel metal and nichrome. In view of our knowledge of the chemical properties of the elements and the light which metallography has given us regarding the nature and constitution of alloys, it is surprising that the principles of alloying for protection have not already been clearly and fully set forth in the extensive literature devoted to the corrosion and protection of metals. This, however, does not appear to be the case. The new corrosion-resisting alloys seem to have been discovered entirely by trial, without any general principle to guide in the selection of the element or elements to be added to the metal which it is desired to render more resistant to corrosion. It is not sufficient to add to the metal to be protected some other metal which is very resistant to corrosion, for instead of pro 1 Manuscript received February 15, 1921. 1 Associate Professor, Oiem.

This was shown a century ago by the experiments of Stodart and Faraday3 in alloying several metals of the platinum group with steel. They say, "If two pieces, one of steel, and one of steel alloyed with platinum, be immersed in weak sulp...
