Metal chips

The highest G-ratios are obtained when grinding with straight oil coolants. Such oils reduce power, increase maximum depth of cut, and produce smoother finishes. Disadvantages include inabiUty to remove heat from the work, oil mist in the work area, fire hazard, and tendency to hold grinding swarf (fine metal chips and abrasive particles produced in the grinding process) in suspension. Reference 51 is an excellent survey article for grinding fluids. 

Thorium metal alloys readily with a large number of metals, including Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Au, Ag, B, Pt, Mo, W, Ta, Zn, Bi, Pb, Hg, Na, Be, Mg, Si, Se, and Al. Like many electropositive metals, finely divided thorium metal is pyrophoric in air, and bums to give the oxide. Massive metal, chips, and turnings... 

Some cutting fluids, eg, oils, may present a fire ha2ard. Some work materials, eg, magnesium, aluminum, titanium (under certain conditions), and uranium, in finely divided form, also present fire ha2ards. Very small metal chips or dust may ignite. 

Grater Wear. Crater wear (Fig. 2a) is caused by a chemical interaction between the rake face of a metal-cutting insert and the hot metal chip flowing over the tool. This interaction may involve diffusion or dissolution of the tool material into the chip.

Look for metal chips or shavings under the pump D-slides. 

The chloride is usually prepared by direct chlorination in situ by heating the metal chips to 300°C (see Ch. 4, Sec. 3.1). 

If one distillation is good, two is better. And fifty Better still. So you have lots and lots of little, tiny distillations occuring on the surfaces of the column packing, which can be glass beads, glass helices, ceramic pieces, metal chips, or even stainless-steel wool. 

Chemical complexes of various transition metals have been shown to promote N-nitrosation (28). These metal complexes include ferrocyanide, ferricyanide, cupric ion, molybate ion, cobalt species, and mercuric acetate. All of the reactions are thought to proceed by oxidation-reduction mechanisms. However, such promotion may not be characteristic of transition metal complexes in general, since ferricyanide ion has been shown to promote nitrosation in metalworking fluids, whereas ferric EDTA does not (2 0). Since the metalworking operation generates metal chips and fines which build up in the fluids, this reaction could be of significance in the promotion of nitrosamine formation in water-based metalworking fluids. 

Sir Humphry Davy attempted to isolate this unidentified element through electrolysis—but failed. It was not until 1824 that Jons Jakob Berzehus (1779—1848), who had earlier discovered cerium, osmium, and iridium, became the first person to separate the element silicon from its compound molecule and then identify it as a new element. Berzehus did this by a two-step process that basically involved heating potassium metal chips with a form of silica (SiF = silicon tetrafluoride) and then separating the resulting mixture of potassium fluoride and silica (SiF + 4K —> 4KF + Si). Today, commercial production of sihcon features a chemical reaction (reduction) between sand (SiO ) and carbon at temperatures over 2,200°C (SiO + 2C + heat— 2CO + Si). 

Still other examples are the dissolution reactions, the attack of metal chips by acids, and the rusting of iron. 

Lastly, some relatively trivial bodies from the standpoint of bums, such as a metal chip, cause an oxidization reaction, which attacks tissue and can also lead to a troublesome injury. A solid complicates first aid because its delay effect prevents it from being identified as a chemical agent. The trouble caused by the presence of the solid body is not always sufficient to trigger care appropriate to the chemical.

Plutonium is so toxic that processing and fabrication are always done in sealed cells or glove boxes, but accidental dispersions of aerosol occur from time to time. Following combustion of Pu metal chips in a production area at Rocky Flats, Colorado, in 1964, airborne contamination was widespread. Alpha tracks from individual particles caught on membrane filters were detected on nuclear film, and the Pu content, and hence the particle size, was deduced (Fig. 5.2, curve E). The activity median diameter was 0.3 /urn (Mann Kirchner, 1967). The same method, used during normal operations in a production area at Los Alamos, gave activity median diameters in the range 0.15 to 0.65 /urn (Moss et al., 1961). However, when a spill occurred, followed by clean-up operations, the Pu particles were found to be associated with inert dust particles of mass median diameter 7 /urn. 

The actual color samples are in the form of l"xlV coated metal chips, housed in hinged plastic holders. While this reference collection is intended for color comparisons only, it is hoped that future research will allow for the distribution of corresponding chemical analysis data. 

Table 2 summarizes distillation conditions (pressure, temperature and contaminant absorbing materials for several important solvents). In brief, the best contaminant absorber for ether solvents is benzophenone radical anion, which is formed by the introduction of alkali metal chips into a solution of benzophenone in the ether. The metal is chosen, depending on the difference between its melting... 

Reaction of cyclopentadiene directly with metal chips under reflux or in liquid ammonia has been used in the preparation of the M(C5H5)291-92 and Ca(C5H4Me)2(DME)93 compounds, respectively. However, a more general reaction method is co-condensation of metal vapor, the vapor of the cyclopentadiene of choice, and the solvent, which is typically hexane or toluene, according to Eq. (1 1).88-89,94... 

Soluble substances, when brought into solution, may show slight physical impurities, such as fragments of filter paper, fibers, and dust particles. Unless excluded by definite tests or other requirements however, significant amounts of black specks, metallic chips, glass fragments, or other insoluble matter are not permitted. 

The samples were dissolved by the following procedure. Dissolve 1.000 g of metal chips in 30 ml of a 1 1 1 mixture of nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and water in a PTFE beaker. When dissolution is complete, reduce the volume to approximately 5 ml by evaporation. Cool, add about 20 ml of water and heat to dissolve all salts. Cool, transfer to a 50 ml plastic volumetric flask and dilute to the mark. 

A process involving ceramic membranes has reportedly regenerated oil-water emulsions without breaking the emulsion. An application of this is to lemove metal chips, bacterias and oil and grease from the oil-water machine coolant [Guibaud, 1989]. The bath regenerated by the ceramic membranes can last three months instead of the usual three weeks. 

Drill two rows of four 1/16 Inch holes between each set of wash ers, Drill completely through the tube. This will result In four rows of four, a total of sixteen holes between each baffle. Remove any burrs or metal chips from the interior of the tube with a thin file or a rolled up piece of sandpaper.

The high frictional coefficient (0.4 to 0.5 compared with < 0.1 for glass fibers) of asbestos fibers is crucial to its utilization in the frictional lining sector. In the manufacture of brake and clutch linings 20 to 60% asbestos is incorporated together with fillers, metal chips and preferably phenol resins and rubber into a composite material, which has to satisfy many requirements. Currently there are asbestos-free so-called semimetallic brake linings, which consist of mixtures of metal fibers, metal powders, cellulose fibers, aluminum silicate fibers and mineral wool bonded with synthetic resins.
