Layer milling process

One technical process involves blowing air above the surface of molten lead. (cf. The Barton process in Sec. 4.2.1), but also, at room temperature, reaction (1) soon covers any piece of lead exposed to air with a dull gray layer of lead oxide (cf. The milling process in Sec. 4.2.1). 

Surface Preparation. Steel hot rolled at 800-900 °C acquires a tenacious oxide layer (mill scale) that is cathodic with respect to the steel to the extent of about 300 mV. In the presence of an electrolyte (seawater containing 3.5% salts, mainly sodium chloride) the steel would corrode and pit and roughen severely. The first process in new construction and refurbishment is therefore the complete removal of mill scale. A small amount of very light-gauge steel is prepared by acid pickling, but most steel for ship and off-shore construction is centrifugally or pneumatically blasted with steel shot that can be recycled or with expendable abrasive grit. Freedom from scale and soluble salt contamination are the main requirements, texture and profile are less important [11.13],... 

In a patent of 1926, G. Shimadzu described an adaptation of the ball-mill process used for grinding ores, pigments, etc., by using lead balls tumbling against one another in a mill. The friction created sufficient heat to oxidise the outside surface of the lead balls and the obtained oxide layer fell off continuously in the form of dust. An air flow of a definite speed and humidity carries away the oxide dust through inbuilt screens to separate the coarser fractions and return them to the mill. The fine lead oxide particles were collected in storage silos. 

The drill milling process leads to a low burr formation and a low delamination of the CFRP layers (Brinksmeieretal. 2008). Furthermore, the produced chips are small compared to conventional drilling processes. Because the bore diameter is bigger than the tool diameter, the chips can be evacuated easily. In conventional drilling, the chip transport in the flutes of the tool leads to friction at the wall of the borehole. Especially when the CFRP layer is machined prior to the titanium or aluminum layer, the hot chips of the metallic material can destroy the surface in the CFRP layer. This can be avoided using the drill milling process. 

For the cultivars studied, phytic acid was found to be concentrated in the outermost layer. Zinc distribution, on the other hand, was similar for three cultivars and was characterized by an even distribution throughout the kernel, with the exception of a higher concentration in the embryo. Studies of this nature will be valuable for optimizing the milling process for maximum removal of phytic acid with minimum mineral and yield loss and appropriate whiteness to satisfy consumer expectations for white rice. 

After the dispersion milling process is complete—that is, after 24 or more hours of milling—the mill is opened and the plasticizer or plasticizers are poured onto the top of the slip. Most plasticizers are liquids and quite fluid, and therefore this is not a complicated procedure. The plasticizer or plasticizers form a thin film on the surface of the slip in the mill. The weighed quantity of binder, either in powder form or dissolved in one or both of the solvents, is then added to the layer of plasticizer(s). Usually the binder is more soluble in the plasticizer(s) than it is in the solvent(s), so it is good practice to introduce the binder to the plasticizer first. Remember from Chapter 2 that the whole point of the Type I plasticizer is to react with (dissolve) the binder. The plasticizer wets the binder if it is in powder form and aids in the dissolution process. It is also good practice to make sure that the binder, if in powder form, is stirred into the slip mixture before the mill is sealed and returned to the rollers. We have found large clumps of undissolved binder after 12 hours or more of mixing if we didn t follow this simple procedure.
