Power augers

The commercial value of a clay deposit depends on market trends, competitive materials, transportation faciflties, new machinery and processes, and labor and fuel costs. Naturally exposed outcrops, geological area and stmcture maps, aerial photographs, hand and power auger drills, core drills, earth resistivity, and shallow seismic methods are used ia exploration for clays (32). Clays are mined primarily by open-pit operation, including hydraulic extraction however, underground mining is also practiced. 

The spreader box is equipped with hydraulically powered augers (paddle type) to help the mixture uniformly spread across the spreader box and flexible squeegees. The width of the spreader box can be extended, usually by adding extension boxes. A typical slurry device is shown in Figure 6.6.

Both pistoa and auger type extmders are used ia plastic forming. The former provide maximum coatrol of the extmsioa pressure and rate and are good for forming large parts. The latter provide a maximum extmsion rate without excess power requirements and are desirable ia the coatiauous productioa of simple clay ware. 

Laser ionization mass spectrometry or laser microprobing (LIMS) is a microanalyt-ical technique used to rapidly characterize the elemental and, sometimes, molecular composition of materials. It is based on the ability of short high-power laser pulses (-10 ns) to produce ions from solids. The ions formed in these brief pulses are analyzed using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The quasi-simultaneous collection of all ion masses allows the survey analysis of unknown materials. The main applications of LIMS are in failure analysis, where chemical differences between a contaminated sample and a control need to be rapidly assessed. The ability to focus the laser beam to a diameter of approximately 1 mm permits the application of this technique to the characterization of small features, for example, in integrated circuits. The LIMS detection limits for many elements are close to 10 at/cm, which makes this technique considerably more sensitive than other survey microan-alytical techniques, such as Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) or Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA). Additionally, LIMS can be used to analyze insulating sam-... 

We have undertaken a series of experiments Involving thin film models of such powdered transition metal catalysts (13,14). In this paper we present a brief review of the results we have obtained to date Involving platinum and rhodium deposited on thin films of tltanla, the latter prepared by oxidation of a tltanliua single crystal. These systems are prepared and characterized under well-controlled conditions. We have used thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and static secondary Ion mass spectrometry (SSIMS). Our results Illustrate the power of SSIMS In understanding the processes that take place during thermal treatment of these thin films. Thermal desorption spectroscopy Is used to characterize the adsorption and desorption of small molecules, In particular, carbon monoxide. AES confirms the SSIMS results and was used to verify the surface cleanliness of the films as they were prepared.

Barrier layers for Cu metallization in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, which are increasingly used in the information technique and telecommunications industry, have been investigated by SIMS depth profiling in comparison to AES (Auger Electron Spectrometry).125 Development trends in SAW devices focus on smaller structures, higher input power or higher frequency. Two Cu metallization systems (of 150 nm thickness) on a LiNb03 substrate with different barrier layers ... 

In an Auger process, the kinetic energy of the emitted electron does not depend on the energy of the excitation source. AES consists of a two-step process first, the sample is irradiated with an electron beam (or, less commonly, with X-rays), which expels an inner electron (e i). In a second step, the relaxation of the excited ion takes place through the fall of a more external electron (e 2) to fill the hole , and then a third electron (e Anger) uses the energy released in that movement to exit the atom (Figure 1.2b). XPS and AES are considered powerful...
