Composition of two acid-resisting alloys disclosed
A.W. Clement discloses the composition of two acid- resisting alloys, one having 10% molybdenum, 80% cobalt or nickel, and 0.1- 4.0% manganese, with of without 10% iron, the second lacking manganese.

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.
