Coupled with titanium or zirconium, these were immersed in synthetic ocean water, tap water, five per cent amonium sulfate solution, five an one-haper cent sodium chloride solution, O.l N hydrochloric acid, and various concentrations of sulfuric acid. The report which describes the experimental methods employed, says that titanium and zirconium usualy resisted corrosion, wheth er alone or in contact with a dis similar metal, although titanium corroded in some sulfuric acid solutions and that contact with formerly secretary-treasurerecently was advanced to the presidency of Five States.
