Since tq, f o r tp= 300, represents closely equilibrium conditions of sensitivity, it m a y be called the " equilibrium time."

Research on the Corrosion Resistance of Copper S t e e l D . M . BUCK and J. O. HANDY. (The Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, vol. 8, No. 3, March, I 9 1 6 . ) - - S h e e t steel and ironcontaining copper show greatly-increased corrosion resistance when exposed to atmospheric conditions. The most effective amount of copper to be used for this purpose is approximately 0.2 5 per cent. Smaller amounts of copper down to as little as 0.0 4 per cent. have a considerable influence in lessening corrosion, but the results are not so good as with the higher amount. Previous investigation has indicated that o.i 5 per cent. copper is in nearly all cases as efficient as 0.2 5 per cent. Higher amounts of copper up to 2 per cent. give little or no added benefit. Copper is as necessary in the so-called " pure irons " to insure corrosion resistance as it is in normal open-hearth and Bessemer steels.
