Sam Davis's Problem Solving Experience:
- I developed a patent pending technology to add boron to silver and gold alloys with sodium borohydride, etc., which enabled the launch of numerous new products and improvements to existing products.
- I developed a method to detect chlorine in a gas stream and a method to control the emissions.
- I developed a process to recycle 12 gpm of wastewater in the Kroll titanium leaching process and presented a paper on the results at a symposium.
- I developed a method to measure the tarnish resistance of silver alloys and published a paper on it.
