Abstract
As those readers of the Journal interested in metallurgy will recall, Mr. Duma contributed an article in the August, 1936, issue of the Journal which dealt with some peculiar properties of 70–30 Copper Nickel Condenser Tubes which had been purchased under the then existent specifications. Mr. Duma's article created some discussion at that time and the careful laboratory work of the Norfolk Navy Yard subsequently caused some revision of the specifications. In this discussion, Mr. Duma presents another original investigation of his laboratory which should be interesting in view of the rather widespread belief that the cold working of cast corrosion resistant steel is deleterious to its corrosion resisting properties. As he points out, only steel produced under the technique followed by the Norfolk Navy Yard was examined, but the results obtained certainly seem to indicate that for this steel, at least, cold working of itself does not necessarily reduce the corrosion resistant properties.
