Walter F. Weiland, associate
professor of Mechanical Engineer
ing, spoke Tuesday night at the
Sigma Xi's meeting in Morrill Hall
on the future possibilities pertain
ing to the rocket propelled air
plane, the gas turbine, and ultra
high pressure steam plants.
One of the most important prob
lems involved in these new major
developments is that of developing
alloys and non-metallic materials
which will withstand very high
temperatures and pressures. Pro
fesor Weiland stated that highly
specialized steels, many of the
stainless 18 to 8 variety, have
solved some of the difficulties.
In addition to the lecture Pro
fessor Weiland showed slides to
illustrate his theories. He has been
able to combine his wide expe
rience In photography with micro
scopic studies in metallurgy to ob
tain first-hand knowledge of this
problem.
