Copper aluminum

At elevated temperatures SF forms the respective fluorides and sulfides with many metals (25). In quart2, it starts to decompose at 500°C (1) in copper or stainless steel, it is less stable (26). The stabiUty of SF at 200 and 250°C in the presence of aluminum, copper, siUcon steel, and mild steel is shown in Table 2 (14). Careful exclusion of moisture from the system improves the stabiUty of sulfur hexafluoride in the presence of most materials. 

Ja.cketingMa.teria.ls. Besides the metallic protective coverings (based on aluminum, copper and copper alloys, lead, steel, and zinc), the most popular jacketing materials are based on polymeric materials that can be either thermoplastic (with limited high temperature use) or thermosetting.

Sodium does not form alloys with aluminum but is used to modify the grain stmcture of aluminum—silicon alloys and aluminum—copper alloys for improved machinabiUty. Sodium—gold alloy is photoelectricaHy sensitive and may be used ia photoelectric cells. A sodium—2iac alloy, containing 2 wt % sodium and 98 wt % 2iac, is used to deoxidi2e other metals. 

The cast zinc—aluminum—copper slush alloy, after aging for ten years indoors, shows a tensile strength of 238 MPa (34,500 psi) with Charpy impact strengths of 1.4—4.1 J (1—3 ft4bf) (87). 

Zinc—bromine storage batteries (qv) are under development as load-leveling devices in electric utilities (64). Photovoltaic batteries have been made of selenium or boron doped with bromine. Graphite fibers and certain polymers can be made electrically conductive by being doped with bromine. Bromine is used in quartz—haUde light bulbs. Bromine is used to etch aluminum, copper, and semi-conductors. Bromine and its salts are known to recover gold and other precious metals from their ores. Bromine can be used to desulfurize fine coal (see Coal conversion processes). Table 5 shows estimates of the primary uses of bromine. 

Corrosion. Aqueous solutions of citric acid are mildly corrosive toward carbon steels. At elevated temperatures, 304 stainless steel is corroded by citric acid, but 316 stainless steel is resistant to corrosion. Many aluminum, copper, and nickel alloys are mildly corroded by citric acid. In general, glass and plastics such as fiber glass reinforced polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(vinyl chloride), and cross-linked poly(vinyl chloride) are not corroded by citric acid. 

The high electrical and thermal conductivities and corrosion resistance of copper combined with its workabiUty give the metal its very wide range of commercial appHcations. Unlike most metals, which are alloyed with other elements to enhance properties, for example, alloy steel and aluminum, copper is primarily used in its pure, unalloyed form.

Manufacturing tolerances for steel, stainless-steel, and nickel-alloy tubes are such that the tubing is produced to either average or minimum wall thickness. Seamless carbon steel tube of minimum wall thickness may vaiy from 0 to 20 percent above the nominal wall thickness. Average-wall seamless tubing has an allowable variation of plus or minus 10 percent. Welded carbon steel tube is produced to closer tolerances (0 to plus 18 percent on minimum wall plus or minus 9 percent on average wall). Tubing of aluminum, copper, and their alloys can be drawn easily and usually is made to minimum wall specifications. 

Minimum baffle spacing is generally one-fifth of the shell diameter and not less than 50.8 mm (2 in). Maximum baffle spacing is hm-ited by the requirement to provide adequate support for the tubes. The maximum unsupported tube span in inches equals 74 dP (where d is the outside tube diameter in inches). The unsupported tube span is reduced by about 12 percent for aluminum, copper, and their alloys.

The principal effects of air pollutants on metals are corrosion of the surface, with eventual loss of material from the surface, and alteration in the electrical properties of the metals. Metals are divided into two categories—ferrous and nonferrous. Ferrous metals contain iron and include various types of steel. Nonferrous metals, such as zinc, aluminum, copper, and silver, do not contain iron. 

When PMMA was adsorbed onto an iron substrate, four components were not sufficient to explain the C(ls) spectrum (see Fig. 21b) and a fifth component had to be added at 288.1 eV as shown in Fig. 21c. This component was attributed to carboxyl groups, indicating that the ester groups were partially hydrolyzed. Similarly, Leadley and Watts found that there were five components in the C(ls) spectrum of PMMA spin-coated onto aluminum, copper, and nickel substrates 124]. 

Hirayaina et al. [22] have shown that polyhydrogenmethylsiloxane can bind to aluminum, copper and steel surfaces via activation with a suitable platinum complex. The attached polymer promotes the adhesion of silicone materials whose cure involves SiH/SiVinyl hydrosilylation. Presumably, it would also be effective with other unsaturated organic polymer phases.

Aluminum drillpipe is generally made of 2014 type aluminum-copper alloy. Composition of this alloy is 0.50 to 1.20% silicon, 1.00% iron maximum, 3.90 to 5.0% copper, 0.40 to 1.20% manganese, 0.25% zinc maximum and 0.05% titanium. The alloy is heat treated to T6 conditions that represent 64 ksi tensile strength, 58 Ksi yield strength, 7% elongation and a Hbn of 135- Aluminum drillpipe generally comes with steel tool joints that are threaded on to ensure maximum strength that cannot be attained with aluminum joints. 

Metallic packings of aluminum, copper and lead cover a very wide temperature range up to 540°C (1000°F). They should be matched to the shaft material, since shaft finish and tolerance are critical factors in overall efficiency. The great limiting factor in the use of metallic packing is the difficulty of ensuring corrosion resistance with all the likely process materials. 

High thermal conductivity. Heat is carried through metals by collisions between electrons, which occur frequently. Saucepans used for cooking commonly contain aluminum, copper, or stainless steel their handles are made of a nonmetallic material that is a good thermal insulator.
