Metals and Alloys
41 : 45 122. Metals grow together in high vacuum. Great Britain. A novel welding technique carried out in a high vacuum chamber has been developed by the National Research Corporation. It requires only very moderate temperatures and contact pressures but very high vacua (lo-# to lo-lo torr). Two pieces of copper at 200°C were joined under these conditions, the weld having 95 per cent of the original strength of the material. Even when welded at room temperatures, the cohesion amounted to 35 per cent. It appears that the close approach of the surfaces under conditions of high vacuum causes the molecules to interlock to produce a homogeneous piece of metal with no change of crystal structure or variation of crystal properties across the joint. w. 1. s. Anon., New Scientist, 14 (292), 21 June 1962, 649.

Technology
41 123. Vacuum adhesion of metals. United States. American scientists working at the Goddard Space Flight centre, Maryland, have investigated the adhesion of atomically clean metals brought together in a high vacuum (lO-11 torr) at room temperature under the influence of a negligible contact force. The metal samples were in the form of a small plate and thin rod, and the degree of adhesion was measured by means of a strain gauge. Pairs of metals which showed satisfactory adhesion were : aluminium/iron, copper/silver, The following pairs nickel/copper and nickel/molybdenum. refused to weld under these conditions : copper/molybdenum, silver/molybdenum, silver/iron, silver/nickel and germanium/ w.
