By leaching out sodium from the alloy, it can supply otlier metals in sponge or porous forms for catalysis a n d other contact applications. H i g h boiling point, excellent wetting of heat-trans fer surfaces, and freedom from carbonization, poly merization, or decomposition, characterize sodium and sodium alloys i n heat-transfer applications.

Sodium's affinity for many other m e t a l s provides a wide range of alloys — extending its effective use. Al loying is a positive means for controlling the reaction rate in many steps in the synthesis of organic and organo-metallic compounds. Sodium is easily alloyed with many metals. The selection and proportion of the alloying material are the factors giving such wide control of sodium's per formance. Organic chemists find alloying a mseful method of modifying sodium's activity in reductions, r e t a l i a tions a n d drying. Sodium can be hardened through al
