Marvin J. Udy
Marvin J. Udy (/ˈjuːdi/; 19 February 1892 – 11 April 1959) was an American scientist, inventor, chemical engineer, metallurgist, and entrepreneur who is best known for his development of the Udylite process for cadmium plating as well as processes to refine chromium, nickel, cobalt and bismuth. In 1919, Udy founded the Udylite Process Company in Kokomo, Indiana. Udy invented a process that made steel and iron withstand rust longer than other metals. Many manufacturers adopted Udylite's plating processes. While at Strategic Materials Corp., Udy invented the Strategic-Udy Process to convert many grades and types of iron ores into semi-refined steel. Strategic Materials Corp. subsequently formed two new companies, Strategic-Udy Metallurgical and Chemical Processes, Ltd., in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and the Strategic-Udy Processes, Inc., in Niagara Falls, New York to further the research and development of Udy's ideas. In 1948, Mr. Udy was awarded the Jacob F. Schoellkopf Medal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
