Aluminium grades

For this area of cross-section, the skin effect ratio Ffac Hic from Figure 28.13(a) for aluminium grade E-91E at 85°C, having b/a = 152.4/44.45 - 3.43 measures almost 1.425 by approximating the interpolation,... 

The resistivity and conductivity of standard annealed copper and a few recommended aluminium grades being used widely for electrical applications are given in Table 30.1. Their corresponding current-carrying capacities in percent, with respect to a standard reference (say, 100% lACS) are also provided in the table. 

The material obtained this way exhibits an increased tensile strength of over 400% and an elongation of over 300% over the non-sintered material. Its TMD is 2.39g cm and the longitudinal speed of sound at 10MHz is Csi = 1570 ms . The response of RM4 to mechanical stress has been reported in [32]. Compositions similar to RM4 have been investigated for their sensitivity parameters. 1943-77A is the so-called nano-RM4 and uses nano-metric A1 with the same mass fractions A1 and PTFE. In STR 22037 and STR 22080, the mass proportions are slightly different than that in RM4 (28.3 wt% Al/71.7wt% PTFE) and use either H-5 or H-95 aluminium grade, and finally 22235 is a fuel-rich formulation with 44.2 wt% H-5 (Table 13.2). 

In general, the dissolution rate of aluminium alloys is even higher than that of aluminium grade of the 1000 series. 

A series of rotational moulding trials were carried out on a typical rotational moulding grade of polyethylene. Two identical mould tools (Dimension 200 X 200 X 210 mm) were designed and manufactured from machined aluminium (Grade 6082). One was subsequently anodised by HMF. The treated and untreated tools are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. 

The yield of iso-propylbenzene is influenced considerably by the quality of the anhydrous aluminium chloride employed. It Is recommended that a good grade of technical material be purchase in small bottles containing not more than 100 g. each undue exposure to the atmosphere, which results in some hydrolysis, is thus avoided. Sealed bottles containing the reagent sometimes have a high internal pressure they should be wrapped in a dry cloth and opened with care.

Draper and Pollard [Science 109 448 1949] added 12% water, 0.1% aluminium (can also use zinc), and 0.05% NaHC03 to phenol, and distd at atmospheric pressure until the azeotrope was removed. The phenol was then distd at 25mm. Phenol has also been dried by distn from the benzene soln to remove the water- benzene azeotrope and the excess benzene, followed by distn of the phenol at reduced pressure under nitrogen. Processes such as this are probably adequate for analytical grade phenol which has as its main impurity water. Phenol has also been crystd from pet ether/ benzene or pet ether (b 40-60°). Purified material is stored in a vacuum desiccator over P2O5 or CaS04. 

Aluminium fluoride (anhydrous) [7784-18-4] M 84.0, m 250°. Technical material may contain up to 15% alumina, with minor impurities such as aluminium sulfate, cryolite, silica and iron oxide. Reagent grade AIF3 (hydrated) contains only traces of impurities but its water content is very variable (may be up to 40%). It can be dried by calcining at 600-800° in a stream of dry air (some hydrolysis occurs), followed by vacuum distn at low pressure in a graphite system, heated to approximately 925° (condenser at 900°) [Henry and Dreisbach J Am Chem Soc 81 5274 1959]. 

Aluminium nitrate (9H2O) [7784-27-2 (9H20) 13473-90-0] M 375.1. Crystd from dilute HNO3, and dried by passing dry nitrogen through the crystals for several hours at 40°. After 2 recrystns of ACS grade it had S, Na and Fe at 2.2, 0.01 and 0.02 ppm resp. 

Current usage is almost entirely associated with the good adhesion to aluminium. Specific applications include the bonding of aluminium foil to plastics films, as the adhesive layer between aluminium foil and polyethylene in multilayer extrusion-laminated non-lead toothpaste tubes and in coated aluminium foil pouches. Grades have more recently become available for manufacture by blown film processes designed for use in skin packaging applications. Such materials are said to comply with FDA regulations. 

A great variety of aluminium-silicate bearing rocks, plastic when wet, hard when dry. Used in pottery, stoneware, tile, bricks, cements, fillers and abrasives. Kaolin is one type of clay. Some clay deposits may include appreciable amounts of quartz. Commercial grades of clays may contain up to 20% quartz. 

Desiccant grade activated alumina is a highly porous form of aluminium oxide. It has the appearance of white chalky beads. Standard stock sizes have 2 - 5 mm or 5 - 8 mm. beads. An adsorbent from liquids and gases it is supplied usually in bulk packs. 

Aluminium oxide is available in grades with neutral, acidic and basic reactions, which can also vary in the specific surface area and pore size. This makes the separations achieved vary and care must be taken to document precisely. 

The usual extraction procedure is to roast the crushed ore, or vanadium residue, with NaCl or Na2C03 at 850°C. This produces sodium vanadate, NaV03, which is leached out with water. Acidification with sulfuric acid to pH 2-3 precipitates red cake , a polyvanadate which, on fusing at 700°C, gives a black, technical grade vanadium pentoxide. Reduction is then necessary to obtain the metal, but, since about 80% of vanadium produced is used as an additive to steel, it is usual to effect the reduction in an electric furnace in the presence of iron or iron ore to produce ferrovanadium, which can then be used without further refinement. Carbon was formerly used as the reductant, but it is difficult to avoid the formation of an intractable carbide, and so it has been superseded by aluminium or, more commonly, ferrosilicon (p. 330) in which case lime is also added to remove the silica as a slag of calcium silicate. If pure vanadium metal is required it can... 

Contact of brass, bronze, copper or the more resistant stainless steels with the 13% Cr steels in sea-water can lead to accelerated corrosion of the latter. Galvanic contact effects on metals coupled to the austenitic types are only slight with brass, bronze and copper, but with cadmium, zinc, aluminium and magnesium alloys, insulation or protective measures are necessary to avoid serious attack on the non-ferrous material. Mild steel and the 13% chromium types are also liable to accelerated attack from contact with the chromium-nickel grades. The austenitic materials do not themselves suffer anodic attack in sea-water from contact with any of the usual materials of construction. 

Table 10.8 outlines the quality requirements of the basis, or primary, metal for the three generic types of anode. These are the qualities required even when sequestering is also adopted. It will be seen that two grades are listed in the case of aluminium. This is because certain patented formulations permit the lower (99- 8%) grade material providing that the iron and silicon are within the limit given. 

The purity of the zinc used in the galvanising bath is not critical. Grades which contain just over 1% lead are usually used indeed, lead is essential to avoid operational problems. Lead is soluble in molten zinc up to about 1%, but slab zinc containing a higher percentage of lead is helpful as the excess lead separates and prevents dross from sticking to the bottom of the bath and thus aids its removal. Aluminium is often deliberately added in very small quantities (about 0.005%) to brighten the appearance of the work... 

Table 15.7 shows the effects of thin anodic oxide films on the resistance to industrial and synthetic marine atmospheres (intermittent salt spray) of three grades of pure aluminium. The results are taken from a paper by Champion and Spillett and show how relatively thin films produce a marked improvement in both environments. 

A good grade of technical anhydrous aluminium chloride was used to obtain the results given in the procedure. The yield falls off considerably when the quality of this reagent is not good.
