Le 6 juin 1995, le Conseil fédéral a décidé de participer à cinq nouvelles actions de recherche européennes dans le cadre de la COST (Coopération européenne dans le domaine de la recherche scientifique et technique). [...] Les cinq recherches auxquelles prendra part la Suisse concernent trois domaines et sont définies comme suit : Matériaux : COST 515 «Techniques d'ingénierie de surface pour les matériaux basées sur les plasmas et les ions (PISE)». Le traitement de la surface des matériaux avec des gaz décomposés à de très hautes températures, jusqu'à plusieurs milliers de degrés, appelés plasmas, est une méthode de pointe pour l'amélioration de la performance des matériaux.

In plaster molding, mixtures of plaster of paris or gypsum and materials such as talc, asbestos fiber, and silica flour are used. These materials improve strength and control the setting time of the plaster. The ingredients are mixed with water and poured over the patterns. After it sets, the pattern is removed, and the mold is dried at 400 ° F. Because there is a limit to the maximum temperature for plaster mold, it is used only for casting aluminum, magnesium, and some copper-base alloys. The process gives good surface finish and dimensional accuracy, and it produces castings with fine details and thin sections. 1, record 9, English, - plaster%20molding
