In this paper, the effect of processes occurring during the sintering of four powder metallurgy steel grades on the resulting properties were investigated. This included three grades prepared from plain iron powder with admixed graphite, one grade alloyed also with elemental copper and another with Fe-Mn-Si masteralloy. One further grade was prepared from Cr-Mo pre-alloyed powder with admixed graphite. The effect of the sintering processes was examined in the temperature range of 700–1300 °C in an inert atmosphere (Ar). In order to study oxygen removal, DTA/TG runs linked with mass spectrometry (MS) as well as C/O elemental analysis were performed. Charpy impact tests and fractography studies were performed to study the effect of the temperature on the formation and growth of sintering contacts. Characterization also included metallography, dimensional change, sintered density, and hardness measurements to describe the dissolution of carbon and alloying elements during the process. Physical properties that were measured were electrical conductivity and coercive force. The results showed that, in all steels, the reduction of oxides that occur during the heating stage plays a key role in the formation and growth of the sintering contacts as well as in the completion of alloying processes. In the chromium alloy steel, the presence of the stable chromium oxides delays these processes up to higher temperatures, while in the other steels that are based on plain iron powder, these processes take place earlier in the heating stage, at lower temperatures. Compared to the standard Fe-C and Fe-Cu-C grades, the Cr-Mo steel requires more sophisticated sintering to ensure oxygen removal, but on the other hand it offers the best properties. The masteralloy variant, finally, can be regarded as a highly attractive compromise between manufacturing requirements, alloy element content, and product properties.

Of the commoner mineral acids the chemical changes of Nitric Acid, from their evident complexity, have formed the subject of numerous memoirs, while those of sulphuric acid, from their assumed simplicity, have been to some degree neglected; on the other hand, the physical properties of the latter have been studied with considerable elaboration, while those of the former have been passed over, doubtless on account of the corrosive nature of the acid and the difficulty of preparing and preserving it in a reasonable degree of purity. Further, with certain exceptions, the alterations in physical properties induced by the products of reduction, be they nitrogen peroxide or nitrous acid, either singly or conjointly, have attracted but little attention, though it is a common matter of observation that the current intensity of a Grove’s or other cell containing nitric acid remains constant, even though the fuming acid, originally colourless or red, has become of a deep green tint. It is more than probable that of the factors of Ohm’s law, both the E. M. F. and internal resistance are continually varying. At the earliest stages of the enquiry it was found that the passage of a few bubbles of nitric oxide gas into a considerable volume of nitric acid produced an alteration of one percent, in the resistance, and the same result could be effected to a less degree by exposure to sunlight, and to a still less degree by exposure to artificial illumination. Therefore, we determined to investigate the alterations of conductivity produced by changes of concentration and temperature in samples of acid purified with necessary precautions, more especially as former workers upon the subject have either used samples of acid confessedly impure, or have been silent as to any method of purification, or have adopted no special care in dealing with a substance so susceptible of polarisation.

In a stretch of arable lands like those of the Ganges Valley, although damage may be caused by occasional floods, which are sudden and of short duration, the more general, and by far the most serious loss is due to deficiency of moisture of the soil: thus the relation of the soil to soil moisture becomes of more than ordinary importance. Dr Voelcker, in his Report on Indian Agriculture, remarks: “In India the relation of soils to moisture acquires a greater significance than almost anywhere else.......” This relation is fundamental, for on it depends the methods for the conservation of soil moisture, for the economical application of irrigation water, and for the treatment of barren and salt lands—all problems of direct interest to agriculturists in the plains of Northern India. The methods for dealing with these problems must be largely—if not entirely—empirical until such time as the behaviour of the soil in its relation to moisture is investigated. The problem in all its various branches is enormous, and in a country in which the seasons follow each other with such rapidity, and vary the one from the other in so marked a manner, it frequently happens that a particular point, if not determined within a period of a few days, must await solution until the following year.
