Copper cleaning surface

The behavior in the presence of air is quite different. For example, Tingle [22] found that the friction between copper surfaces decreased from a fi value of 6.8 to one of 0.80 as progressive exposure of the clean surfaces led to increasingly thick oxide layers. As noted by Whitehead [23], several behavior patterns... 

In a similar procedure, the atomizer test, which depends on the behavior of an advancing rather than a receding contact angle, a fine mist of water is apphed to the metal surface and the spreading of water is observed. On a clean surface, water spreads to a uniform film. With oleic acid as the test soil, the atomizer test can detect the presence of 10 mg of soil per cm, less than a monomolecular layer (115). For steel that is to be electroplated, the copper dip test is often employed. Steel is dipped into a cupric salt solution and the eveimess of the resulting metallic copper deposit is noted. 

In cases where very high adherence is necessary an undercoating of sprayed molybdenum is applied. Owing to the volatile nature of its oxide this metal presents a clean surface to the workface and with most metals (except copper) very high adhesion is obtained. To a limited extent arc-sprayed aluminium bronze will also form a strongly adherent base coating. 

Apart from the question of scale, the nature of the clean surface has a pronounced influence on the rate of boiling. Thus Bonilla and PERRY(79) boiled ethanol at atmospheric pressure and a temperature difference of 23 deg K, and found that the heat flux at atmospheric pressure was 850 kW/m2 for polished copper, 450 for gold plate, and 370 for fresh chromium plate, and only 140 for old chromium plate. This wide fluctuation means that caTe must be taken in anticipating the heat flux, since the high values that may be obtained initially may not persist in practice because of tarnishing of the surface.

Typically, coatings most often in use as intermediate layers are silver, nickel, copper, and gold however, silver is used by far the most often. This is so because of the low dissociation temperature of silver oxide, making it relatively easy to obtain clean surfaces. Also, the typical thickness range of electroplates used, in practice, for diffusion welding is about 15 to 40/rm, but thicknesses as great as 130 )um must sometimes be used. A considerable variety of steel types as well as aluminum and a host of other difficult-to-join metals and even beryllium have been and continue to be diffusion bonded with the use of electroplated intermediate layers. 

G. Nickel. Nickel (nip 1,453°C), finds its primary use in the construction of apparatus to handle fluorine and volatile fluorides. In this situation the metal is rendered passive by a fluorine coating. Nickel plating is easily performed and provides a means of imparting corrosion resistance. The metal may be machined, silver soldered, copper brazed, or welded. However, the weld should be performed on clean surfaces because the presence of impurities containing lead, sulfur, phosphorus, and various low-melting metals leads to embrittlement and failure at the weld.

Section II of this paper contains a description of the mechanism of NEXAFS spectroscopy, experimental setup and the types of information that can be obtained. Section III presents examples of work by others which serve as an important basis for the interpretation of our studies, and also several experiments on oriented polymer films and Langmuir-Blodgett films. Section IV describes a study of the chemical interaction that takes place when chromium metal is evaporated onto spun polymers, including polyimide. Section V describes the results of a study of poly(amic acid) films grown by epitaxy on clean surfaces of copper and chromium, and the effect of annealing to induce imidization. 

To address all these factors, an improved copper cleaning chemistry has been developed by Hoppe, et al. Designed to replace an effective, but overly aggressive concentrated nitric acid etch, this peroxide-based method allows for more controlled cleaning of surfaces. 

This is a specialised technique which has been applied in field emission and field ion microscopy (see Section 2.1.5c). It is achieved by giving the tip a positive potential. Tungsten can then be removed at liquid helium temperatures with an applied field of 5.7 x 10 V.cm Perfectly regular surface structures are exposed containing many different lattice planes. Clean surfaces have been produced on tungsten, nickel, iron, platinum, copper, silicon and germanium. It is potentially applicable to a wide range of materials, but the area of clean surface exposed is only about 10 ° cm . 

P5n oligneous Acid.—One cord of wood will give from 250 to 300 gal. of crude acid. A mixture of acetic acid, alcohol and water is distilled from the crude acid in double- or triple-effect evaporators of the vertical-tube or rapid-circulation type. The total evaporation is from 90 to 95 per cent, and the capacity is from 2 to 3 gal. per square foot, with a steam pressure of 5 lb. and a vacuum of 27 in. A surface condenser is attached for the recovery of the watery acid and alcohol. Evaporators must be built entirely of copper. Heating surface is frequently covered by a heavy coating of tar and charcoal dust, which has to be removed by mechanical cleaning or may be dissolved by the crude acid.

When it is perfectly bright, moisten a little of the powder, known as silvering powder, with water, and rub it for some time on the perfectly clean surface of copper or brass, which will become covered with a coat of metallic silver. It may afterwards be polished with soft leather.
