Notes: Abstract In “Response to Elliott and Valenza, 'And Then There Were None'”, (1996) Donald Foster has taken strenuous issue with our Shakespeare Clinic's final report, which concluded that none of the testable Shakespeare claimants, and none of the Shakespeare Apocrypha poems and plays – including Funeral Elegy by W.S. – match Shakespeare. Though he seems to accept most of our exclusions – notably excepting those of the Elegy and A Lover's Complaint – he believes that our methodology is nonetheless fatally flawed by “worthless figures ... wrong more often than right”, “rigorous cherry–picking”, “playing with a stacked deck”, and “conveniently exil[ing] ... inconvenient data.” He describes our tests as “foul vapor” and “methodological madness.” We believe that this criticism is seriously overdrawn, and that our tests and conclusions have emerged essentially intact. By our count, he claims to have found 21 errors of consequence in our report. Only five of these claims, all trivial, have any validity at all. If fully proved, they might call for some cautions and slight refinements for five of our 54 tests, but in no case would they come close to invalidating the questioned test. The remaining 49 tests are wholly intact. Total erosion of our findings from the Foster critique could amount, at most, to half of one percent. None of his accusations of cherry–picking, deck–stacking, and evidence–ignoring are substantiated.

Description / Table of Contents: NI-O-NEL 825 -A new corrosion -resistant alloy for the chemical industryThe application of the austenitic special steels available is subjected to limitations 1under oxidising and acid-reducing conditions,2In respect of fissuration through stress corrosion in chloride solutions, and3in respect of pitting corrosion in chloride solutions.It was to eliminate these shortcomings that NI-O-NEL 825 has been developed.The development work resulting in the finally adopted composition of the alloy is described. Apart from an improvement in the above-mentioned inadequate properties of the special steels, the the composition finally adopted yielded an alloy which, after welding, shows neither brittleness phenomena nor grain boundary corrosion. The mechanical properties of the alloy, its corrosion resistence and practical applications in industry are discussed.Special attention is paid to the corrosion resistence of the alloy to sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sodium chloride, sea water, ammonium sulphate and various organic acids.

Notes: Die verfügbaren austenitischen Sonderstähle haben Anwendungsgrenzen: 1unter oxydierenden und sauerreduzierenden Bedingungen,2bezüglich Rißbildung durch Spannungskorrosion in Chloridlösungen und3bezüglich dieser Mängel wurde NI-O-NEL 825 entwickelt.Die zur endgültigen Zusammensetzung der Legierung führenden Entwicklungsarbeiten werden geschildert. Neben einer Verbesserung der oben erwähnten mangelnden Sonderstahl-Eigenschaften ergab die gewählte Zusammensetzung eine Legierung, die nach dem Schweißen weder Versprödungserscheinungen, noch Korngrenzenkorrosion zeigt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Legierung, ihre Korrosionsfestigkeit sowie praktische Anwendungsbeispiele aus der Industrie werden besprochen.Besonders eingehend wird die Korrosionsfestigkeit der Legierung gegenüber Schwefelsäure, Phosphorsäure, Salpetersäure, Natriumchlorid, Seewasser, Ammoniumsulfat und verschiedenen organischen Säuren behandelt.
