Mold height

Because of their size, these molds are often stand-alone equipment packages and as such need to be sufficiendy robust to permit repeated daily process cycles with the minimum of maintenance downtime. They must offer the blade manufacturer the means to reliably produce blades with the minimum number of operators in the shortest possible time. Benefits gained with proper designed blades include reduced mold height to eliminate cumbersome platforms around the molds improved speed and safety of mold closing mechanisms accurate blade shape and blade edge tolerances and all electrical, vacuum, and other services within the structural framework. 

Ash Fusibility. A molded cone of ash is heated in a mildly reducing atmosphere and observed using an optical pyrometer during heating. The initial deformation temperature is reached when the cone tip becomes rounded the softening temperature is evidenced when the height of the cone is equal to twice its width the hemispherical temperature occurs when the cone becomes a hemispherical lump and the fluid temperature is reached when no lump remains (D1857) (18). 

Cellulose liner material absorbs water and needs to be wet for at least 30 s prior to investing to prevent Uquid from being extracted from the investment. The ceUulose liner bums when heated in air and is eliminated completely from the mold at burnout temperatures of 700°C (123). To ensure retention of the mold within the casting ring, a ceUulose liner should be kept short of each end. For gypsum investments a liner that is 12 mm shorter than the height of the ring should be used. 

After another short mixing period ( 15 min) the expl compn is poured into the desired molds. Vacuum casting has not been found necessary to obtain good density, provided that the mold design is not too intricate or the height-to- diam ratio not too great (Ref 38)... 

In Figure 7.84, we note that after a certain time the free bubble contacts the mold at height z and has a spherical shape of radius R. The radius is determined by the mold geometry and bubble position and is given by... 

In the Trauzl lead block test (often called simply the lead block test) 10 grams of the explosive, wrapped in tinfoil and stemmed with sand, is exploded by means of an electric detonator in a cylindrical hole in the middle of a cylindrical block of lead, and the enlargement of the cavity, measured by pouring in water from a graduate and corrected for the enlargement which is ascribable to the detonator alone, is reported. For the standard test, the blocks are cast from chemically pure lead, 200 mm. in height and 200 mm. in diameter, with a central hole made by the mold, 125 mm. deep and 25 mm. in diameter The test is... 

Mixing was carried out with a stirrer at 2200 rpm and the formulation was rapidly poured into a large mold provided with thermocouples, located at various heights, to monitor the foam-rising process. 

For the solution, we assume the notation presented in in Fig. 6.25. As shown in the figure, at an arbitrary point in time the bubble will contact the mold at a height z and will have a radius R, which is determined by the mold geometry... 

The element side surfaces are formed by lines that connect the centroid of the triangular side and the midpoint of the edge. Kim s definition of the control volume fill factors are the same as described in the previous section. Once the velocity field within a partially filled mold has been solved for, the melt front is advanced by updating the nodal fill factors. To test their simulation, Turng and Kim compared it to mold filling experiments done with the optical lenses shown in Fig. 9.34. The outside diameter of each lens was 96.19 mm and the height of the lens at the center was 19.87 mm. The thickest part of the lens was 10.50 mm at the outer rim of the lens. The thickness of the lens at the center was 6 mm. The lens was molded of a PMMA and the weight of each lens was 69.8 g. 

Polyurethanes tend to trap air very easily. The method of pouring must be such that the mix will flow down a surface and across the bottom and fill the mold upward, displacing the air ahead of it. The pouring should be in one continuous stream. It may be advantageous to raise the height slowly during the pour to improve the flow of the material into the mold. 

Regarding the spatial aspects of the enzymatic degradation of CA-g-PLLA, a surface characterization [30] was carried out for melt-molded films by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and attenuated total-reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) before and after the hydrolysis test with proteinase K. As exemplified in Fig. 3 for a copolymer of MS = 22, the AFM study showed that hydrolysis for a few weeks caused a transformation of the original smooth surface of the test specimen (Fig. 3a) into a more undulated surface with a number of protuberances of 50-300 nm in height and less than a few micrometers in width (Fig. 3b). The ATR-FTIR measurements proved a selective release of lactyl units in the surface region of the hydrolyzed films, and the absorption intensity data monitored as a function of time was explicable in accordance with the AFM result.
