Fabricating product

Only lead alloys containing copper below 0.08% have practical appHcations. Lead sheet, pipe, cable sheathing, wine, and fabricated products are produced from lead—copper alloys having copper contents near the eutectic composition. Lead—copper alloys in the range 0.03—0.08 wt % copper are covered by many specifications ASTM B29-92 (7), QQL 171 (United States), BS 334, HP2 Type 11 (Canada), DIN 1719 (Germany), and AS 1812 (Austraha).

The market for fused siUca started ia 1906 with the sale of siUca muffles and pipes. That same year resulted ia the iacorporatioa of the Thermal Syadicate Ltd. Siace that time, worldwide sale of vitreous siUca material and fabricated products has continued to grow. The sales of vitreous siUca iagots, tubes, rods, plates, fabricated products, photomask blanks, cmcibles, and optics was estimated to be between 800 million to 1 biUion ia 1995. These figures do aot, however, take iato accouat the optical waveguide market based oa fused siUca technology. 

Measuring the barrier properties of polymers is important for several reasons. The effects of formulation or process changes need to be known, new polymers need to be evaluated, data are needed for a new apphcation before a large investment has been made, and fabricated products need to have performance verified. For some apphcations a full range of data is necessary, including P, Z9, and S plus the effects of temperature and humidity. 

The hermhydrate (stucco) is normally produced by heat conversion of the dihydrate from which 3/2 H2O is removed as vapor. The resulting powder is also known as plaster of Paris [26499-65-0]. Stucco has the greatest commercial significance of these materials. It is the primary constituent used to fabricate products and ia formulated plasters used ia job- or shop-site appHcations.

Exempt colorants are inherently neither more nor less safe than certified colorants. However, they are viewed as having been obtained from nature (natural) (43—45) and thus imagined as less of a health ha2ard than certified colorants. In fact, like all color additives, they are fabricated products.

The dipping processes are of three basic types (1) continuous lengths of strip, wire or tube pass through the molten coating metal (2) semimanufactured products such as cut tube lengths or sheets are dipped into the molten metal in batches in specially designed and automatically operated plants and (3) fabricated products are dipped into the molten metal. 

Torsion property As noted, the shear modulus is usually obtained by using pendulum and oscillatory rheometer techniques. The torsional pendulum (ASTM D 2236 Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Plastics by Means of a Torsional Pendulum Test Procedure) is a popular test, since it is applicable to virtually all plastics and uses a simple specimen readily fabricated by all commercial processes or easily cut from fabricated products. 

One factor associated with tolerance is shrinkage. Generally, shrinkage is the difference between the dimensions of a fabricated product at room temperature and after cooling,checked usually twelve to twenty-four hours after fabrication. Having an elapsed... 

There are destructive and nondestructive tests (NDTs) (2). Most important, they are essential for determining the performance of plastic materials to be processed and of the finished fabricated products. Testing refers to the determination by technical means properties and performances. This action, when possible, should involve application of established scientific principles and procedures. It requires specifying what requirements are to be met. There are many different tests (thousands) that can be conducted that relate to practically any material or product requirement. Usually only a few will be applicable to meet your specific application. Examples of these tests will be presented. 

Thermoplastics can be bent, pulled, or squeezed into various useful shapes. But eventually when heat is added, they return to their original form. This behavior, known as plastic memory, can be annoying. If property applied, however, plastic memory offers interesting design possibilities for all types of fabricated products. 

Even though equipment operations have understandable but controllable variables that influence processing, the usual most uncontrollable variable in the process can be the plastic material. The degree of properly compounding or blending by the plastic manufacturer, converter, or in-house by the fabricator is important. Most additives, fillers, and/or reinforcements when not properly compounded will significantly influence processability and fabricated product performances. 

Chlorinated polyether They are corrosion and chemical resistant whose prime use has been to fabricate products and equipment for the chemical and its processing industries. Uses also include pumps, water meters, bearing surfaces, etc. 

Inspection and tolerance Inspection variations are often the most critical and most overlooked aspect of the tolerance of a fabricated product. Designers and processors base their development decisions on inspection readings, but they rarely determine the tolerances associated with these readings. The inspection variations may themselves be greater than the tolerances for the characteristics being measured, but without having a study of the inspection method capability this can go unnoticed. 

With plastics there are two types of deformation or flow viscous, in which the energy causing the deformation is dissipated, and elastic, in which that energy is stored. The combination produces viscoelastic plastics. See Chapter 2, MATERIAL BEHAVIOR, Rheology and Viscoelasticity, regarding their effects on fabricated products. 

MFR tests are used to detect degradation in fabricated products where comparisons, as an example, are made of the MFR of pellets to the MFR of product. MFR has a reciprocal relationship to melt viscosity. This relationship of MW to MFR is an inverse one as the MFR increases, the MW drops. MW and melt viscosity is also related as one increases the other increases. 

Since most fabricated products are attractive as well as inherently corrosion and rust resistant when fabricated they usually do not require any finishing or decoration. For others there are paints, coatings, and other surface treatments that usually are used mainly to enhance eye appeal. Tables 8-35 to 8-37 provide some guidelines. 

Interesting is the fact that the actual time and cost to design products may take less than 5% of the total time and cost to fabricate products. Even though this is a relatively small percentage of the overall operation, it has a direct and important influence performance wise and costwise on the success or failure of fabricating products. 

A major cost advantage for fabricating products is their usual low processing cost. The most expensive part of the product is the cost of plastic materials. Since the material value in a plastic product is roughly up to one-half (possibly up to 80%) of its overall cost, it becomes important to select a candidate material with extraordinary care particularly on long production runs. Cost to fabricate using most processes and particularly... 

Important for the reader to recognize is that new plastic material data as well as plastic fabricated product data is endless because of what can be done in the production of plastic materials as well as fabricating equipment. Thus the importance of keeping up to date...
