Cold forming blanking

Cold Forming. Some ABS grades have ductihty and toughness such that sheet can be cold formed from blanks 0.13—6.4 mm thick using standard metal-working techniques. Up to 45% diameter reduction is possible on the first draw subsequent redraws can yield 35%. Either aqueous or nonaqueous lubrication is required. More details are available in Reference 147.

Plastic boilermaking, very similarly to metal boilermaking, allows the realization of simple and developable geometrical parts, by cold or hot forming, machining and assembly by welding or joining of plates, tubes and blanks. 

The reaction mixture (final volume 0.34 ml) contained (in /umol and including compounds added with the enzyme) potassium phosphate, pH 6.3, 102 Tris, pH 7.6, 5 sucrose, 13 GSH, 16 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.7 Na EDTA, 0.5. Methyl donors were added at the specified final concentrations. The various stereoisomeric forms of S-adenosylmethionine were prepared as described by de la Haba el al. (1959) using adenosylmethionine cyclotransferase (E.C. 2.5.1.4) to resolve (/(S)-S-adenosyl-L-methionine to (f )-5-adenosyl-L-methionine. The reaction was started by addition of enzyme dissolved in Tris buffer, pH 7.6, 25 mM, containing Na EDTA, 1 mM and 2-mercaptoethanol, 7 mM, and partially purified from an extract of cabbage leaves by successive ammonium sulfate precipitation (45-60% saturation), gel filtration (Sephadex G-25) and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. After incubation at 26°C for 1 h, each reaction mixture was diluted with 0.76 ml cold water, and a 1.0 ml aliquot was immediately added to a column of Dowex-50(NHJ) 1 x 3 cm. Unreacted [ C]methionine was removed by washing the column with 25 ml water. The 5-[" C]methylmethionine sulfonium salt was then eluted with 8 ml 0.6 N NH OH. Radioactivity was determined by scintillation spectrophotometry (Mudd et al., 1965). A blank of 540 cpm has been subtracted from each value. The low activity with (R)-5-adenosyl-L-methionine may have been due to the presence of a small residual amount of (5)-5-adenosyl-L-methionine (de la Haba eta/., 1959).
