The U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) was the primary United States Government agency conducting scientific research and disseminating information on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of mineral resources.
Founded on May 16, 1910, through the Organic Act (Public Law 179), USBM's missions ...
High-intensity, single-wavelength X-rays, characteristic of the element emitting the rays, that appear in addition to the continuous white radiation whenever the voltage of an Xray tube is increased beyond a critical value.
Industry:Mining
Highly localized melting, usually by induction heating, of a small volume of an otherwise solid piece. By moving the induction coil along the rod, the melted zone can be transferred from one end to the other. In a binary mixture where there is a large difference in composition on the liquidus and solidus lines, high purity can be attained by concentrating one of the constituents in the liquid as it moves along a rod.
Industry:Mining
Highly porous, granular aluminum oxide that preferentially absorbs liquids from gases and vapors, and moisture from some liquids.
Industry:Mining
Highly refractory crucible composed of a mixture of about equal parts of refractory clay and graphite.
Industry:Mining
High-quality iron powder made by reduction of iron oxide; used in powder metallurgy.
Industry:Mining
