The Thixoforming Group in the Department of Engineering Materials at the University of Sheffield undertakes research and development into the forming of alloys and composites in the semi-solid state(SSM). This process is commonly called thixoforming(thixocasting or thixoforging) and possesses some of the advantages of both casting and forging. Initially the material behaves in the semi-solid condition like a solid(it can be picked up and holds it shape unsupported), but when injected into a die it flows like a liquid to take the form of the die accurately, as in die-casting. However, the structure is fine and uniform, virtually free of porosity, and the product may be heat-treated to give mechanical properties superior to those of castings. The thermal shock to the die is less than that given by a liquid, which means that higher melting point alloys-which cannot easily be diecast-may nevertheless be thixocast. 1, record 1, English, - thixoforming

Certains alliages métalliques, préparés dans des conditions particulières, présentent un caractère thixotrope à l'état semi-liquide. Cette propriété leur confère un comportement particulier qui présente un intérêt pour les opérations de formage. Le thixoformage constitue l'une de ces opérations, rendues possibles par la connaissance et la maîtrise croissante des caractéristiques et de la mise en œuvre des alliages thixotropes. Le thixoformage recouvre deux procédés de formage des matériaux thixotropes : le moulage (ou thixomoulage) et le forgeage (ou thixoforgeage). 1, record 1, French, - thixoformage

Extruded polystyrene [XEPS] foam begins with solid polystyrene crystals. The crystals, along with special additives and a blowing agent, are fed into an extruder. Within the extruder the mixture is combined and melted, under controlled conditions of high temperature and pressure, into a viscous plastic fluid. The hot, thick liquid is then forced in a continuous process through a die. As it emerges from the die it expands to a foam, is shaped, cooled, and trimmed to dimension. This continuous extrusion process results in a unique foam product with a uniform closed-cell structure, a smooth continuous skin, and consistent product qualities, qualities unequaled by other insulation types. 6, record 3, English, - extruded%20polystyrene%20foam

Extruded polystyrene foam ... There is considerable confusion about extruded foam, mainly because it is made by many different companies, and appears in many different colors and densities. There is "artboard", green foam, pink foam, gray foam, blue foam and more. All of these are extruded polystyrene. The lowest density extruded styrene foams all range about 1.75 pounds per cubic foot. Curiously, extruded foam panels from the same manufacturer exhibit considerable variation in density ... ranging from 1.8 to 2.1 pounds per cubic foot, all in the same batch. ... Different manufacturers also produce different qualities of extruded foam. Some foam seems to have more impurities and air bubbles than others. 7, record 3, English, - extruded%20polystyrene%20foam

Les plastiques alvéolaires à base de résine de polystyrène sont généralement des mousses rigides à alvéoles fermés qui peuvent être fabriquées ayant des masses spécifiques variant de 1 à 30 lb/pi³; la plupart d'entre elles se trouvent dans la gamme de masses spécifiques allant de 1 à 5 lb/pi³. Il existe actuellement deux principaux types de mousse de polystyrène : la mousse extrudée et la mousse moulée. [...] La mousse extrudée. Pour produire ce type de mousse on commence par fondre une matière plastique à base de polystyrène contenant un agent gonflant (moussant) à température élevée et sous pression, ensuite, la masse fondue est extrudée dans l'atmosphère à travers une fente; à ce point, la masse subit une expansion qui peut atteindre environ 40 fois son volume initial. Elle est extrudée sous forme de planche ayant une pellicule superficielle continue ou bien de grosses billettes qui peuvent être découpées en planches normalisées ou usinées pour leur donner toute autre forme désirée. Les outils servant à travailler le bois (manuels ou électriques) sont employés ordinairement pour donner aux matières plastiques alvéolaires la forme voulue, bien que le découpage à la scie à fil permette d'obtenir une surface plus lisse. Les mousses extrudées ont une structure plus simple et plus régulière que les mousses moulées; elles ont aussi une résistance mécanique plus élevée et une plus haute résistance à l'eau. 1, record 3, French, - mousse%20de%20polystyr%C3%A8ne%20extrud%C3%A9e

Thermo-dimpling. This type of dimpling consists of two processes, radius dimpling and coin dimpling. The major difference between radius and coin dimpling is in the construction of the female die. In radius dimpling a solid female die is used. Coin dimpling uses a sliding ram female die that makes this process superior. During the coin dimpling process, the metal is coined(made to flow) into the contours of the dies so that the dimple assumes the true shape of the die. The pressure exerted by the coining ram prevents the metal from compressing and thereby assures uniform cross sectional thickness of the sides of the dimple and a true conical shape. 1, record 5, English, - coining%20ram

Dans l'embrèvement frappé, on emploie une matrice à coulisseau, qui fait la supériorité de ce dernier procédé. Au cours de l'exécution d'un embrèvement frappé, le métal est matricé (on l'oblige à s'écouler) dans les contours des outils, de sorte que l'embrèvement prend la forme exacte donnée par les outils.
