Silicon brass

This computation is also referred to as calculating the zinc equivalent of the alloy. The increase in strength in this alloy series is caused by increased amounts of beta phase in the stmcture. The silicon brasses show similar hardening effects accompanying a second phase. Typical mechanical properties and electrical conductivity for various cast alloys are shown in Table 2.

Copper and Copper Alloys Seamless copper, bronze, brass, copper-nickel-aUoy, and copper-silicon-aUoy pipe and tubing are produced by extrusion. Tubing is available in outside-diameter sizes from Vi6 to 16 in and in a range of wall thicknesses varying from 0.005 in for the smallest tubing to 0.75 in for the 16-in size. Tubing is usually specified by outside diameter and wall thickness. 

Clad tube eets in service with carbon steel backer material include stainless-steel types 304, 304L, 316, 316L, and 317, Monel, Inconel, nickel, naval rolled brass, copper, admiralty, silicon bronze, and titanium. Naval rolled brass and Monel clad on stainless steel are also in service.

Bronzes are somewhat similar to brasses in mechanical properties and to high-zinc brasses in corrosion resistance (except that bronzes are not affected by stress cracking). Aluminum and silicon bronzes are very popiilar in the process industries because they combine good strength with corrosion resistance. 

Copper-alloy corrosion behavior depends on the alloying elements added. Alloying copper with zinc increases corrosion rates in caustic solutions whereas nickel additions decrease corrosion rates. Silicon bronzes containing between 95% and 98% copper have corrosion rates as low as 2 mil/y (0.051 mm/y) at 140°F (60°C) in 30% caustic solutions. Figure 8.2 shows the corrosion rate in a 50% caustic soda evaporator as a function of nickel content. As is obvious, the corrosion rate falls to even lower values as nickel concentration increases. Caustic solutions attack zinc brasses at rates of 2 to 20 mil/y (0.051 to 0.51 mm/y). 

Despite these qualifications copper and its alloys are used extensively and successfully in much chemical equipment. Uses include condensers and evaporators, pipelines, pumps, fans, vacuum pans, fractionating columns, etc. Tin-bronzes, aluminium-bronzes and silicon-bronzes are used in some circumstances because they present better corrosion resistance than copper or brasses.

Silicon s atomic structure makes it an extremely important semiconductor. Highly purified silicon, doped with such elements as boron, phosphorus, and arsenic, is the basic material used in computer chips, transistors, sUicon diodes, and various other electronic circuits and electrical-current switching devices. Silicon of lesser purity is used in metallurgy as a reducing agent and as an alloying element in steel, brass, and bronze. 

The main alloys of copper are the brasses, alloyed with zinc, and the bronzes, alloyed with tin. Other, so-called bronzes are the aluminium bronzes and the silicon bronzes. 

In this microcalorimeter, the heat sink is not a massive metal block but is divided into several parts which are mobile with respect to each other. Each thermoelectric element (E) and a cell guide (D) are affixed to a fluxmeter holder (C). The holder (C) is mobile with respect to a massive arm (B) which, in turn, rotates around a vertical axle (A). All parts of the heat sink are made of brass. Surfaces in contact are lubricated by silicone grease. Four thermoelectric elements (E) are mounted in this fashion. They enclose two parallelepipedic calorimetric cells, which can be made of glass (cells for the spectrography of liquids are particularly convenient) or of metal (in this case, the electrical insulation is provided by a very thin sheet of mica). The thermoelectric elements surrounding both cells are connected differentially, the Petit microcalorimeter being thus a twin differential calorimeter. 

The Navier-Stokes equations are solved first to determine the velocity field throughout the reactor, as described by Armaou and Christofides [4], and subsequently by Brass and Lee [5] using FEMLAB. Then, the species mass balances are solved to determine the concentrations of SiFL (1), SiH2 (2), SiH3 (3), and H (4), throughout the reactor. Finally, the deposition rate of silicon is ... 

For these conditions, Armaou and Christofides [4] determine the thickness profile, in Fig. 10.4-3, for the amorphous silicon film after 60 s, when the average thickness reaches 500 A. When characterizing the non-uniformity of the film, the sharp increase in thickness calculated near the outer edge of the wafer is assumed to be due to the boundary conditions, which assume step changes to zero concentrations at the edge. Brass and Lee (2003) disregard the profile from r = 3.6 to 4 cm, and compute the non-uniformity as ...

In Fig. 9, the cathode block (4) of stainless steel includes inlet and outlet channels (6) that are each cormected by 6 boreholes for uniform flow distribution to the cathode surface (details see cross section 7). The anode (2) is a platinum foil of 18 cm active area with the brass cover plate (1) as current feeder. The electrode distance is given by the sealing gasket (3), for example, silicon rubber of 0.2-1 mm [85].
