Hardeners affected

Method 1. From ammonium chloroplatinate. Place 3 0 g. of ammonium chloroplatinate and 30 g. of A.R. sodium nitrate (1) in Pyrex beaker or porcelain casserole and heat gently at first until the rapid evolution of gas slackens, and then more strongly until a temperature of about 300° is reached. This operation occupies about 15 minutes, and there is no spattering. Maintain the fluid mass at 500-530° for 30 minutes, and allow the mixture to cool. Treat the sohd mass with 50 ml. of water. The brown precipitate of platinum oxide (PtOj.HjO) settles to the bottom. Wash it once or twice by decantation, filter througha hardened filter paper on a Gooch crucible, and wash on the filter until practically free from nitrates. Stop the washing process immediately the precipitate tends to become colloidal (2) traces of sodium nitrate do not affect the efficiency of the catalyst. Dry the oxide in a desiccator, and weigh out portions of the dried material as required. 

A hardness indentation causes both elastic and plastic deformations which activate certain strengthening mechanisms in metals. Dislocations created by the deformation result in strain hardening of metals. Thus the indentation hardness test, which is a measure of resistance to deformation, is affected by the rate of strain hardening. 

Cladding and backing metals are purchased in the appropriately heat-treated condition because corrosion resistance is retained through bonding. It is customary to supply the composites in the as-bonded condition because hardening usually does not affect the engineering properties. Occasionally, a post-bonding heat treatment is used to achieve properties required for specific combinations. 

The reaction is completed after 6—8 h at 95°C volatiles, water, and some free phenol are removed by vacuum stripping up to 140—170°C. For resins requiring phenol in only trace amounts, such as epoxy hardeners, steam distillation or steam stripping may be used. Both water and free phenol affect the cure and final resin properties, which are monitored in routine quaHty control testing by gc. OxaHc acid (1—2 parts per 100 parts phenol) does not require neutralization because it decomposes to CO, CO2, and water furthermore, it produces milder reactions and low color. Sulfuric and sulfonic acids are strong catalysts and require neutralization with lime 0.1 parts of sulfuric acid per 100 parts of phenol are used. A continuous process for novolak resin production has been described (31,32). An alternative process for making novolaks without acid catalysis has also been reported (33), which uses a... 

The properties of cured Pordand cement are affected by these four constituents of the manufactured Pordand cement. Tricalcium siHcate hydrates and hardens rapidly, giving rise to the initial set and eady strength. Increased concentrations of tricalcium siHcate causes an increase in the eady strength of Pordand cement concretes. Dicalcium siHcate hydrates and hardens more slowly, giving the cured concrete its strength increases beyond one week. 

Most wrought alloys are provided in conditions that have been strengthened by various amounts of cold work or heat treatment. Cold worked tempers are the result of cold rolling or drawing by prescribed amounts of plastic deformation from the annealed condition. Alloys that respond to strengthening by heat treatment are referred to as precipitation or age hardenable. Cold worked conditions can also be thermally treated at relatively low temperatures to affect a slight decrease in strength (stress rehef annealed) to benefit other properties, such as corrosion resistance and formabiUty. 

The chemical resistance of celluloid is not particularly good. It is affected by acids and alkalis, discolours on exposure to sunlight and tends to harden on aging. More seriously it is extremely inflammable, this being by far the greatest limitation of the material. 

Epoxy hardener will strongly affect chemical resistance. 

It should be recognized that surface finish can be more than just a cosmetic standard. It also affects product quality, mold or die cost, and delivery time of tools and/or products. The surface can be used not only to enhance clarity for the sake of appearance but to hide surface defects such as sink and parting marks. The Society of Plastics Engi-neers/Society of Plastics Industries standards range from a No. 1 mirror finish to a No. 6 grit blast finish. A mold finish comparison kit consisting of six hardened tool steel pieces and...
