Subject field(s)
  • Tools and Equipment (Textile Industries)
  • Papermaking Machines
CONT

The metal cores are prepared by tooling on a lathe or by other such processes.... The prepared metal core is then coated with one or more special cements to form the bonding system between the roll covering and the metal surface. The particular cementing system depends on [the] type of metal of [the] core and the elastomeric roll covering. This is a very important step in roll covering.

What is galvanized metal? Galvanization is the leading method to protect metals, usually steel and iron, from environmental elements that cause corrosion, rust, and the eventual weakening of the steel. Galvanizing involves bonding a protective zinc metal coating to a thicker metal base.

Glare is a laminated material made of alternate layers of aluminium and glass fibre. The word ’Glare’ stands for Glassfibre Reinforced Aluminium. Glare was developed in co-operation with the Delft University of Technology and the Netherlands National Aerospace Laboratory(NLR).... Glare has greatly reduced susceptibility to metal fatigue and is therefore stronger than aluminium, which allows significant weight savings to be achieved.... The Glare material is bonded under high pressure and temperature in [the Glare autoclave]. Glare combines the ideal characteristics of metal and composites. The selected fibre material is glass fibre, and the metal used is aluminium. To ensure high integrity and durability of the aluminium and glass fibre layers, these are securely bonded using an epoxy resin. The resin and bonding must be able to resist the extreme operating conditions encountered in flight, such as pressure, tension and torsion forces, as well as extreme temperatures in polar and tropical regions, and must be designed for a long operational lifetime.

  • Electrical Power Supply
DEF

The voltage between the energized object and the feet of a person in contact with the object.

OBS

It is equal to the difference in voltage between the object (which is at a distance of 0 feet) and a point some distance away.

CONT

Because of the voltage gradient, the voltage of the earth only a short distance from the grounded metallic equipment will be different than the equipment. Thus, if a worker touches the grounded equipment, his or her feet will be at a different potential than his or her hands. This voltage can be lethal. Touch voltage is mitigated by increasing the number of grounding electrodes, increasing bonding between metal parts, and employing a grounding grid.

  • Casting and Patternmaking (Metal Processing)
CONT

In sand casting, re-usable, permanent patterns are used to make the sand moulds. The preparation and the bonding of this sand mould... very often are the rate-controlling step of this process. Two main routes are used for bonding the sand moulds : the "green sand" consists of mixtures of sand, clay and moisture; the "dry sand" consists of sand and synthetic binders cured thermally or chemically. The sand cores used for forming the inside shape of hollow parts of the casting are made using dry sand components. This versatile technique is generally used for high-volume production. Normally, such moulds are filled by pouring the melted metal in the filling system. Mould designing is... complex... and is based on the same principle as gravity die casting....

Les opérations de fonderie par moulage au sable requièrent des moules avec des noyaux constitués essentiellement de sable, mais qui contiennent fréquemment aussi environ de 4 à 10% de liants (argiles, ciment, matières organiques, matières plastiques durcissables, carbonate de sodium, verre soluble etc.). Le moule en sable est élaboré en faisant une empreinte à l'aide d'un modèle. Dès que celui-ci, laissant l'empreinte exacte de la pièce à réaliser est enlevé et que le sable a durci, le moule est prêt à recevoir le métal liquide en fusion, qui le remplira. [...] En règle générale, les moules ne sont utilisés qu'une seule fois, puis brisés.

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics

DEF

An analytical technique analogous to x-ray diffraction in which an incident beam of neutrons is scattered by the atoms of a crystal.

CONT

Because elements that are close to each other in the Periodic Table differ considerably in their neutron-scattering ability, neutron diffraction is capable of distinguishing between them. For example, carbon nitrogen, and oxygen atoms can be readily identified by neutron diffraction, where as they appear almost identical by the x-ray method. More accurate determination of the bond lengths of light atoms and distribution of molecular bonding electrons is also possible. Details of molecular structure that can only be inferred by other techniques can often be observed directly by neutron diffraction. Investigations using this method include hydrogen bonding, so-called metal cluster compounds(C. H. M relationships) and electronic charge distributions.

Organometallic complex catalysts tend to be highly active, specific, and selective, and may resist poisoning better than heterogeneous systems. The catalytic center may have two metal sites. Organometallic catalysts have a central transition-metal atom or ion bonded to molecules known as ligands which form a polyhedron around the metal. The nature of the metal and ligands critically influences the electronic structure of the complex. The coordination bonding properties of the metal are a key feature of the catalytic complexes. Important reactions of catalyst complexes are ligand exchange, oxidative addition, and the insertion reaction.

In a single-crystal blade casting the first element to solidify is a "starter block" attached to the root of the [turbine] blade by a narrow helical passage in the mould. The helical passage obstructs the growth of multiple crystal boundaries, with the result that the blade is formed from a single crystal. This crystal propagates in two halves around the strong-back. The two halves of the blade can then be joined by a process called "transient liquid phase" bonding, in which the halves are mated around a foil "gasket" of the same alloy as the blade--coated with boron to reduce its melting point--and joined under pressure. The gasket and the thin layer of metal immediately adjacent to it melt, the boron dissipates completely and the part solidifies while still under pressure. As far as can be ascertained, the join produced by this means in a single-crystal blade is effectively perfect.

Dans le procédé de coulée des aubes à structure mono-cristalline, le premier élément solidifié est un «bloc de démarrage» relié à la base de l'aube par un étroit passage hélocoïdal pratiqué dans le moule. Ce passage empêche la formation de joints multiples entre les cristaux, ce qui fait que l'aube est formée d'un seul cristal. Ce cristal se propage en deux moitiés autour de la pièce de renforcement. Les deux moitiés de l'aube sont ensuite scellées au moyen d'un procédé appelé «transient liquid phase», qui consiste à assembler les deux moitiés autour d'une feuille du même alliage que l'aube -- feuille qui est revêtue de bore pour abaisser son point de fusion -- et à les assembler ensuite sous pression. La feuille d'alliage et la fine couche de métal qui la touche entrent en fusion, le bore se dissipe complètement et la pièce se solidifie alors qu'elle est toujours sous pression.
