Bead area

The first type of bonded design for this application was the beaded doubler panel (Fig. 28). This design was fairly successful at addressing the problems with simple riveted structure but had two primary drawbacks. The area under the beads remained a single thickness sheet and was still prone to fatigue. Reducing the unbonded areas under the beads was not a solution because it reduced the overall stiffness of the panel. Secondly, tooling for these panels was complex and not very robust. Autoclave pressure applied to the beaded areas of the doubler would cause them to collapse, so thick frames were fabricated with cutouts for the beads to protect them. A rubber layer bonded to the surface of the frames... 

Bead area components Include the apex or bead filler the chafer, which protects the wire bead components the chipper, which protects the lower sidewall and the flipper, which helps hold the bead in place. 

HMMM can also be used with reinforcing novolac phenol formaldehyde resins to harden a cured rubber compound. For example, these reactive PF resins might be used in the bead area or the tread compound of a tire in order to increase hardness. 

It is then time to inject the electrolyte. In the process, the internal pressure is kept lower then the atmospheric pressure, and the electrolyte is allowed to be impregnated into the jelly roll by introducing air into the can. After the electrolyte injection, electrolyte surrounding the electrode tap and beading area is wiped with a non-woven cleaning. Finally, the gasket is inserted. 

In this figure one can clearly see an image of a weld defective area with a superimposed groove defectometer Fe2 4 mm thick. The depth of a minimum groove was 0,5 mm. One can clearly see a groove 0,2 mm deep, which corresponds to sensitivity less than 2% Both incomplete root penetration and metal weld beads can be clearly seen in the image.

PhenoHc-based resins have almost disappeared. A few other resin types are available commercially but have not made a significant impact. Inorganic materials retain importance in a number of areas where synthetic organic ion-exchange resins are not normally used. Only the latter are discussed here. This article places emphasis on the styrenic and acryHc resins that are made as small beads. Other forms of synthetic ion-exchange materials such as membranes, papers, fibers (qv), foams (qv), and Hquid extractants are not included (see Extraction, liquid-liquid Membrane technology Paper.). 

The role of the mbber compounds which are used ia these basic components is threefold (/) to provide the coatact area betweea the vehicle and the surface (2) to provide the cohesive material that holds the tire together such that it acts as an iategral unit and (J) to provide protection for the ultimate strengthbeating components, ie, the textiles, steel beads, and steel breakers ia steel belted radial tires. 

The drying rate is represented by differential equation (eq. 6) where h is mass transfer coefficient 1/(hcm ) , specific surface area of desiccant beads, cm /g mass of desiccant, g C, concentration by weight of water in the fluid being dried (7, concentration of water at the surface of the desiccant, ie, concentration of water in the fluid that would be in equihbrium with the instantaneous loading on the desiccant, wt-ppm and t — time, h. 

To inspect for contaminants, a water break test is frequently employed. Water, being a polar molecule, will wet a high-energy surface (contact angle near 180 ), such as a clean metal oxide, but will bead-up on a low-energy surface characteristic of most organic materials. If the water flows uniformly over the entire surface, the surface can be assumed to clean, but if it beads-up or does not wet an area, that area probably has an organic contaminant that will require the part be re-processed. 

An alternate form of catalyst is pellets. The pellets are available in various diameters or extruded forms. The pellets can have an aluminum oxide coating with a noble metal deposited as the catalyst. The beads are placed in a tray or bed and have a depth of anywhere from 6 to 10 inches. The larger the bead (1/4 inch versus 1/8 inch) the less the pressure drop through the catalyst bed. However, the larger the bead, the less surface area is present in the same volume which translates to less destruction efficiency. Higher pressure drop translates into higher horsepower required for the oxidation system. The noble metal monoliths have a relatively low pressure drop and are typically more expensive than the pellets for the same application.
