Ytterbium metal has possible use in improving the grain refinement, strength, and other mechanical properties of stainless steel. One isotope is reported to have been used as a radiation source substitute for a portable X-ray machine where electricity is unavailable. Few other uses have been found. 

AWS) has issued specifications covering the various filler-metal systems and processes (2), eg, AWS A5.28 which appHes to low alloy steel filler metals for gas-shielded arc welding. A typical specification covers classification of relevant filler metals, chemical composition, mechanical properties, testing procedures, and matters related to manufacture, eg, packaging, identification, and dimensional tolerances. New specifications are issued occasionally, in addition to ca 30 estabUshed specifications. Filler-metal specifications are also issued by the ASME and the Department of Defense (DOD). These specifications are usually similar to the AWS specification, but should be specifically consulted where they apply. 

Mechanical properties are retained up to 200°C, even in continuous service, which is better than with most plastics. At high temperatures, these copolymers react with duorine, duorinating agents, and molten alkaU metals. They are commercially available under the Du Pont trademark Tedon FEP duorocarbon resin. A similar product is manufactured by Daikin Kogyo of Japan and sold under the trademark Neodon. The People s RepubHc of China also manufactures some FEP products. 

Chemical Properties. A combination of excellent chemical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures result in high performance service in the chemical processing industry. Teflon PEA resins have been exposed to a variety of organic and inorganic compounds commonly encountered in chemical service (26). They are not attacked by inorganic acids, bases, halogens, metal salt solutions, organic acids, and anhydrides. Aromatic and ahphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, amines, esters, chlorinated compounds, and other polymer solvents have Httle effect. However, like other perfluorinated polymers,they react with alkah metals and elemental fluorine. 

Commercial Stabilizers. There is a great variety of commercial formulations utilizing the mixture of the alkaU and alkaline-earth metal salts and soaps. In many cases, products are custom formulated to meet the needs of a particular appHcation or customer. The acidic ligands used ia these products vary widely and have dramatic effects on the physical properties of the PVC formulations. The choice of ligands can affect the heat stabiHty, rheology, lubricity, plate-out tendency, clarity, heat sealabiHty, and electrical and mechanical properties of the final products. No single representative formulation can cover the variety of PVC appHcations where these stabilizers are used. 

In addition to oxidation itself, gas diffusion into the base metal can be more damaging than the actual loss of metal from the surface. Thus the loss in mechanical properties owing to diffusion of oxygen into niobium makes it more difficult to protect niobium against oxidation damage than molybdenum, even though molybdenum has less resistance to normal oxidation effects than niobium. 

Inorganic membranes (29,36) are generaUy more stable than their polymeric counterparts. Mechanical property data have not been definitive for good comparisons. IndustriaUy, tube bundle and honeycomb constmctions predominate with surface areas 20 to 200 m. Cross-flow is generaUy the preferred mode of operation. Packing densities are greater than 1000 /m. Porous ceramics, sintered metal, and metal oxides on porous carbon support... 

Physical characteristics of metals have a significant impact on machinabihty. These include microstmctural features such as grain size, mechanical properties such as tensile properties, and physical properties such as thermal conductivity.

Niobium is used as a substrate for platinum in impressed-current cathodic protection anodes because of its high anodic breakdown potential (100 V in seawater), good mechanical properties, good electrical conductivity, and the formation of an adherent passive oxide film when it is anodized. Other uses for niobium metal are in vacuum tubes, high pressure sodium vapor lamps, and in the manufacture of catalysts. 

The number of branches in HDPE resins is low, at most 5 to 10 branches per 1000 carbon atoms in the chain. Even ethylene homopolymers produced with some transition-metal based catalysts are slightly branched they contain 0.5—3 branches per 1000 carbon atoms. Most of these branches are short, methyl, ethyl, and -butyl (6—8), and their presence is often related to traces of a-olefins in ethylene. The branching degree is one of the important stmctural features of HDPE. Along with molecular weight, it influences most physical and mechanical properties of HDPE resins. 

Al—Cr. Although no commercial ahoys are based on this system, chromium [7440-47-3] Cr, is an ingredient of several complex and commercially significant ahoys (Fig. 16. The Cr is added for control of grain stmcture. The Al—Cr system has a peritectic portion at 661°C where soHd solubiHty is 0.7% Cr and Hquid solubiHty is 0.4% Cr. Free2ing of binary ahoys containing >0.4% Cr produces coarse primary crystals (metallic inclusions) of AlyCr [12005-37-7] which may adversely affect mechanical properties. In complex ahoys, the Hquid solubiHty can be reduced such that formation of primary AlyCr crystals may occur at significantly lower Cr contents. 

Nonoxide fibers, such as carbides, nitrides, and carbons, are produced by high temperature chemical processes that often result in fiber lengths shorter than those of oxide fibers. Mechanical properties such as high elastic modulus and tensile strength of these materials make them excellent as reinforcements for plastics, glass, metals, and ceramics. Because these products oxidize at high temperatures, they are primarily suited for use in vacuum or inert atmospheres, but may also be used for relatively short exposures in oxidizing atmospheres above 1000°C.
