The Corrosion of Magnesium and of the Magnesium Aluminum Alloys Containing Manganese
A 1927 technical report on the corrosion of magnesium and magnesium-aluminum alloys containing manganese, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server with a record that gives no author beyond the archive. Its pictures are grainy photomicrographs of alloy microstructures, with dendritic and branching patterns in light and dark tones, plus photographs of test specimens hanging in glass beakers and rows of metal coupons; a designer might take the organic, crystalline textures as surface patterns and the banded striations as linear motifs.
