The expression "space mining" refers to the extraction, collection and utilization of natural resources located on the surface or subsurface of a celestial body. Celestial bodies are known to contain different kinds of minerals, such as iron, platinum, aluminum, etc., as well as water. In principle, mined resources can be used either "in situ" or transported to... Earth.

The Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association(RCMA) recommends certain procedures for the application of asphalt aluminum roof coatings... When roll or brush-applying an asphalt aluminum, it is important to finish the strokes in basically the same direction to achieve the best aesthetics. If aluminum flakes orient in the same direction, they reflect light more uniformly. Spray equipment is typically an airless sprayer, however any spray unit capable of spraying the coating in an even pattern can be used. Consult the coating or spray equipment manufacturer for proper selection, as the viscosity of the material, the hose internal diameter size, and length of hose all help determine the type of spray equipment needed for the job.

Elastic creep by crack growth is proposed as a mechanism of creep in polycrystalline ceramics. An analysis shows that in aluminum oxide, creep by crack growth can occur in coarse-grained microstructures and a range of temperature over which contributions of other creep mechanisms to the total creep strain are negligible. Elastic or compliance creep is the deformation which occurs as the result of a time-dependent decrease in the elastic moduli of a material under load.

The head of the stick can be constructed from a number of different materials, though felt wrapped around a wood core is the most common.

The sweat furnace is ubiquitous and useful in aluminum recycling because it provides a cheap means to separate aluminum from waste and other metals (mainly ferrous). But the sweat furnace represents outdated technology and is difficult to control as to the quality of sweated alloy it produces, the energy it wastes and the emissions it releases into the environment.

CONT

Originally conceived for the purpose of separating aluminum from iron, particularly in composite parts and assemblies(eg. an automotive piston), the sweat furnace also separates aluminum from mixed waste, including, dirt, rock, glass, rubber, plastics and other organics. First cost of the furnace is low, it can be operated by unskilled labour and it compacts loose and bulky scrap into a solid "pig" or "sow" for transportation to the secondary smelter.

Similar to curing osteoporosis, fluoride has been proposed as a preventive measure (sic) against Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) based on the presumption that by direct competition in the gut, fluoride would decrease aluminum uptake (Kraus and Forbes, 1992). Rather, such antagonism (Li, et al. 1990) is due to the formation of aluminum-fluoride complex (Li, et al. 1991).
