Tensile Strength of Chrome-Nickel-Steel:
“Here is another synergy confirming instance: the tensile strength of chrom-nickel-steel is 350,000 pounds per square inch. This is 100,000 pounds stronger than 250,000 pounds per square inch which is the sum of the tensile strengths of each and all of chrom-nickel-steel’s constituent metals; which are, nickel 80,000 p.s.i., chromium, 70,000, iron, 60,000, while the sum of their minor ingredients-- carbon, manganese, et.al., is 40,000 p.s.i. The augmented coherence of the whole chrome-nickel-steel alloy is accounted for only by the complex inter-mass attractions of the crowded together atoms. That is synergy.”
