To probe the relatively unknown universe of ultra fine metallic structures nothing equals the electron microscope with magnification up to 100,000 times. It is a useful tool in determining the causes of failure in bridge and other steel structures and products.

The atomic age demands metal able to withstand higher temperatures and greater pressure. Canada needs structural steel capable of resisting the arctic cold. Canadian scientists working in the Government labs share their findings with engineers from private industry and others from all over the world. These combined efforts have resulted in better alloys, bringing better products for home and industry.

Science has found strength and endurance in such a patchwork of metallic lakes, rivers and islands. This microscopic view of a nickel alloy aided in establishing the physical limitations of the alloy and in accumulating pertinent data for the preparation of better alloys.

Caption
Canadian scientists, answering the double challenge of the peaceful use of atomic energy and Canada's great surge to the North, are doing constant research into new methods of improving the strength, durability and quality of metal products. Tests for the elimination of hydrogen and nitrogen gases when melting steel are carried out in the laboratories of the Physical Metallurgy Division of the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, in Ottawa. Their aim: to improve the quality of the steel and to endeavour to shorten the melting cycle.
