PERSONAL
HISTORY
B.S. 1951, Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH; Ames Laboratory, 1951-present.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Utilization of the electrotransport process as a method of ultra-purifying
rare-earth and refractory metals. Development of the thermite reduction process
for the economic preparation of rare-earth iron alloys, especially Nd-Fe
and TbDyFe alloys. Recycling of rare-earth metal from rare-earth transition
metal alloy scrap by liquid metal extraction. Phase equilibrium studies concerning
Gd5(SixGe1-x)4 magnetocaloric
alloys.
