Melt, dense

It is immediately obvious that the transition metals are more dense, harder, and have higher melting points and boiling points than the main group metals (for example, the metals of Group II,... [Pg.360]

The element is a steel-white metal, it does not tarnish in air, and it is the least dense and lowest melting of the platinum group of metals. When annealed, it is soft and ductile cold-working greatly increases its strength and hardness. Palladium is attacked by nitric and sulfuric acid. [Pg.112]

Modified ETEE is less dense, tougher, and stiffer and exhibits a higher tensile strength and creep resistance than PTEE, PEA, or EEP resins. It is ductile, and displays in various compositions the characteristic of a nonlinear stress—strain relationship. Typical physical properties of Tef2el products are shown in Table 1 (24,25). Properties such as elongation and flex life depend on crystallinity, which is affected by the rate of crysta11i2ation values depend on fabrication conditions and melt cooling rates. [Pg.366]

Dense Symmetrical Membranes. These membranes are used on a large scale ia packagiag appHcations (see Eilms and sheeting Packaging materials). They are also used widely ia the laboratory to characterize membrane separation properties. However, it is difficult to make mechanically strong and defect-free symmetrical membranes thinner than 20 p.m, so the flux is low, and these membranes are rarely used in separation processes. Eor laboratory work, the membranes are prepared by solution casting or by melt pressing. [Pg.61]

Many polymers, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylons, do not dissolve in suitable casting solvents. In the laboratory, membranes can be made from such polymers by melt pressing, in which the polymer is sandwiched at high pressure between two heated plates. A pressure of 13.8—34.5 MPa (2000—5000 psi) is appHed for 0.5 to 5 minutes, at a plate temperature just above the melting point of the polymer. Melt forming is commonly used to make dense films for packaging appHcations, either by extmsion as a sheet from a die or as blown film. [Pg.62]

HoUow-fiber fabrication methods can be divided into two classes (61). The most common is solution spinning, in which a 20—30% polymer solution is extmded and precipitated into a bath of a nonsolvent, generally water. Solution spinning allows fibers with the asymmetric Loeb-Soufirajan stmcture to be made. An alternative technique is melt spinning, in which a hot polymer melt is extmded from an appropriate die and is then cooled and sohdified in air or a quench tank. Melt-spun fibers are usually relatively dense and have lower fluxes than solution-spun fibers, but because the fiber can be stretched after it leaves the die, very fine fibers can be made. Melt spinning can also be used with polymers such as poly(trimethylpentene), which are not soluble in convenient solvents and are difficult to form by wet spinning. [Pg.71]

Properties. Pure thorium metal is a dense, bright silvery metal having a very high melting point. The metal exists in two allotropic modifications. Thorium is a reactive, soft, and ductile metal which tarnishes slowly on exposure to air (12). Having poor mechanical properties, the metal has no direct stmctural appHcations. A survey of the physical properties of thorium is summarized in Table 1. Thorium metal is diamagnetic at room temperature, but becomes superconducting below 1.3—1.4 K. [Pg.36]

Sihcon carbide is comparatively stable. The only violent reaction occurs when SiC is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and lead chromate. Chemical reactions do, however, take place between sihcon carbide and a variety of compounds at relatively high temperatures. Sodium sihcate attacks SiC above 1300°C, and SiC reacts with calcium and magnesium oxides above 1000°C and with copper oxide at 800°C to form the metal sihcide. Sihcon carbide decomposes in fused alkahes such as potassium chromate or sodium chromate and in fused borax or cryohte, and reacts with carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ak, and steam. Sihcon carbide, resistant to chlorine below 700°C, reacts to form carbon and sihcon tetrachloride at high temperature. SiC dissociates in molten kon and the sihcon reacts with oxides present in the melt, a reaction of use in the metallurgy of kon and steel (qv). The dense, self-bonded type of SiC has good resistance to aluminum up to about 800°C, to bismuth and zinc at 600°C, and to tin up to 400°C a new sihcon nitride-bonded type exhibits improved resistance to cryohte. [Pg.465]

Molybdenum High melting point less dense than tungsten or tantalum moderately ductile at room temperature Extremely high oxidation rate (volatile oxide)... [Pg.2476]
