Naval Engineers JournalVolume 79, Issue 6 p. 1003-1013 Effects of Notches and Saltwater Corrosion on the Flexural Fatigue Properties of Steels for Hydrospace Vehicles M. R. GROSS, M. R. GROSS M. Robert Gross received his B.S. degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 1939. From 1940 to 1944, he was assistant to the Melting Superintendent at the Universal-Cyclops Steel Corporation, Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. In 1944 he joined the U. S. Naval Metals Laboratory, Munhall, Pennsylvania, as Metallurgist. In 1946 he transferred to the U. S. Navy Marine Engineering Laboratory (formerly U. S. Naval Engineering Experiment Station), Annapolis, Maryland, where he is currently employed. At the Laboratory he has held various metallurgical positions with major emphasis on the development and evaluation of metallic materials for Navy hull and machinery applications.Search for more papers by this authorE. J. CZYRYCA, E. J. CZYRYCA Ernest J. Czyryca received his B.S. degree in Metallurgical Engineering at the Drexel Institute of Technology in 1965. Employed as a Physical Metallurgist at the U. S. Navy Marine Engineering Laboratory since graduation, he is conducting research in the fatigue properties of submarine hull materials. His major concentration is on the low-cycle fatigue of these materials in marine environment and under the influence of stress raisers.Search for more papers by this author M. R. GROSS, M. R.
