Solid materials have small/invisible cracks postulated
A.A. Griffith postulates that solid materials contain
small, often
invisible cracks which are extremely efficient levers in
prying atoms
apart.

Small amounts of boron can harden
R. Walter is apparantly the first to recognize that only a
very small
percentage of boron is required to produce an appreciable
hardening
effect.

New transparent adhesive
Formaldehyde condensation products with carbamide or its
derivatives,
prepared by H. John, are described as good, transparent
adhesives,
usable for joining glass, metals, and other materials or as
a laquer
for coating airplane wings or other fabrics.

Variation of diffusion coefficient result of activation process
S. Dushman and I. Langmuir, General Electric, show that the
variation
of the diffusion coefficient in alloy systems is the result
of an
activation process.

Structure of different types of iron demonstrated
A. Westgren and G. Phragmen demonstrate that alpha, beta,
and delta
iron are all body-centered cubic, while gamma iron is face-
centered
cubic, and that solid-solution austenite is an interstitial
solid
solution.

Alloys studied by X-ray diffraction
While studying alloys, particularly solid solutions, by
means of X-ray diffraction, E.C. Bain discovers
superlattices, demonstrating the maintenance of the solvent-
lattice type in primary solid solutions and the variation
of the lattice spacing with variation in solute
concentrations.
