Special from out of a handful of powder metallurgy engineers at the army s Pica Linny Arsenal Here Are now Able to conjure up precision Metal parts in a fraction of the time an Cost of other processes. Just like magic. One of the newer methods used to produce finished or Semi finished parts powder metallurgy is basically a process to form components by compressing Metal powders into desired shapes. The powders used depend on properties desired in the finished product but those most widely used for making structural parts Are Copper stainless steel Iron brass Bronze and Nickel Silver. Before pressing can he accomplished the powders must be proc Essed by mixing or blending to homogenize Large lots with a die lubricant such As Graphite or Zinc Ste Arate. Then the powder is shaped under great pressure and super hardened by heating in a Furnace. Bri quetting shaping the part called briquet Ting. Is done by using special Dies in Small presses. The amount of pressure May Range from five to 100 tons per Square Inch depend ing on the kind of Metal powder used and the density desired in the finished part. After pressing the parts Are placed in boats similar to cookie sheets and transferred to an atmosphere controlled Furnace which can sustain High temperatures for desired periods of time. Although the process produces a acceptable finished part to meet special requirements it is some times necessary to perform finish ing operations such As sizing Coin logistics director named Baltimore my. Special John d. Bitner has been named director of logistic support of the Martin company s space systems division. He will direct support in the Field of products sold to the military services and also will head development of special military products. Ing machining grinding lapping or production of component parts is done at the Arsenal s powder metallurgy facility. About 1,500 Metal parts an hour Are produced per machine and there Are four such presses available. Just what these parts Are used for comes under the category of Clas powder metallurgy at Pica tinny has been in the planning and development stage for almost two years but now the process is read to go full Industrial Engineer Robert la Verdiere in a Large measure is responsible for the Advent of powder metallurgy at the Arsenal. His extensive studies resulted in selection of the right equipment and manufacturing methods. According to Laverdiere powder metallurgy has great potential at plat Lenny. He is hopeful that other Pic tinny segments responsible for production of military hardware will soon be Able to take advantage of this process which promises great economics.

Early estimates of red Cross re Lief and rehabilitation costs were set at $500,000 for the four state area with reports yet to come in from surveys being conducted in the Seaboard said that All assistance including rebuilding repairing and refurbishing of Homes is an out right gift to victims from those to contribute through red Cross fund campaigns in their communities and on military installations.
