Friction Closures

Alkylimidazolinm tetraflnoroborates are, for example, ionic liquids at room-temperature that can provide an anion to stabilize an intermediate cation-radical with no possibility of nucleophilic attack on it. Ionic liquids have a huge memory effect, and their total friction is greater than that of conventional polar solvents. Thus, the total friction of l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoro-phosphate is about 50 times greater than that of AN (Shim et al. 2007). The solvent effects of ionic liquids on ion-radical ring closures deserve a special investigation. The ring closure reactions can be, in principal, controlled by solvent effects. 

Because of the sensitivity of friction to so many variables, it is often desirable, if not essential, to test the actual product in a prototype test rig. Certain of the slip resistance tests have headed in that direction by using complete shoes as the slider. Similarly, instrumented systems are used to investigate the grip of tyres under real road conditions. Generally, a product test rig will be the best approach for items such as bottle closures and bearings. 

Hand Cartoning. Basically any carton style, with any form of good, any calliper board, any of the closure flap design (lock slit, friction fit, claw lock, crash lock, envelope lock), any number of leaflets, measures, or droppers, and so forth can be used in hand cartoning. 

Dry material burns readily and is sensitive to heat, shock, friction, or contact with combustible materials. It explodes above the melting point.4,5 Benzoyl peroxide should not be recrystallized from hot chloroform, but rather precipitated from cold chloroform with methanol.6 The peroxide should be stored in waxed paper tubs and never in metal or glass containers with screw-type closures.5... 

Stoppers, as opposed to corks, can react with a number of organic chemicals used in the laboratory. Likewise, a concern when using stoppers is that the closure not adversely affect the contained sample. For this reason, cork stoppers are often preferred when containing organic solvents. If you do not have any corks, you may use a rubber stopper that has been enclosed with an aluminum foil cover. This technique has a few limitations The covered rubber stopper will not grip into the seal (there is no friction to hold it in), and the crevices of the foil provide many potential small leaks. 

The results for the encounter model for hard spheres were obtained by closure, as was done for self-diffusion in Section Iff B. The pair friction was modeled either by the screened FPE result,... 

By applying the F definition of Benyahia et al [12], the closure can be expressed as a function of the friction coefficient j3 instead of the dimensionless drag coefficient F [92] ... 

For reactive flows the governing equations used by Lindborg et al [92] resemble those in sect 3.4.3, but the solid phase momentum equation contains several additional terms derived from kinetic theory and a frictional stress closure for slow quasi-static flow conditions based on concepts developed in soil mechanics. Moreover, to close the kinetic theory model the granular temperature is calculated from a separate transport equation. To avoid misconception the model equations are given below (in which the averaging symbols are disregarded for convenience) ... 

The following designs of closure flaps, lock slit, friction fit, claw lock, envelope lock and glued flaps can be made to work on an appropriate semi-automatic machine. One would recommend for simplicity that attention be paid when using claw locks and envelope locks, ensuring that they are really necessary before introducing them, as they are not the easiest carton closures to handle. 

PTFE is a very hard, chemically inert, low-friction material. It is mainly used to coat machine parts (to reduce friction) and heat sealing jaws to aid clean release. It is not used as a lamination film but has been used as a coating on closures (densities up to 2.2). 

In common with glass and plastic containers, the performance of a metal container is partly governed by the nature of the closure involved. Some of these closures are similar to those used on glass and plastic containers, e.g. plastic and metal screw closures and frictional closures such as plug or slip lids. Others, which are mainly used on metal (or metal composite) containers, are lever lids and permanent mechanically seamed-on closures. 

The containers are usually constructed in tinplate with double seam base and Mennen powder side seams since the container needs to be capable of withstanding considerable compression when the lid is applied. The seams themselves may be dry or treated, depending on end use. Since both the ring and the cap are seamless, a very effective frictional closure can be achieved. The amount of interference can be varied and depends on the lidding equipment, the quality of closure desired, and the relative ease with which the customer is required to open and reclose the pack. If necessary, lids can be secured with special clips or spot soldered, the latter adding a degree of tamper-resistance. Sometimes a double ring is used to ensure a more effective closure. 

Retractable Pins. The retractable pin tool (RPT) consisted of an actuated pin within a rotating shoulder (Ref 94, 95) to allow pin length adjustment during FSW (Fig. 2.18). The normal operational mode for these tools was to retract the pin at a prescribed rate as the tool traversed forward. This allowed the closure of the exit hole in circumferential friction stir welds.
