Table II presents the specific wear rates (in mm /Nm, volume loss per unit load per unit sliding distance) and average kinetic friction coefficients of the composites sliding versus steel and silicon nitride, upon initial and continued sliding. Plots of friction coefficient versus sliding duration in kilocycles (1 kc = 107 m) are shown in Figures 2-5, for all experiments. All composites formed transfer films upon sliding against both steel and silicon nitride. The films were similar in appearance under optical microscopy, and covered approximately 30% of the contact region.

In a design permitting unsuitable metals, they may be replaced with next-generation filament-wound composites (e.g. continuous), glass, graphite, boron, beryUium, titanium alloy, steel, carbon, silicone filament, or strip unidirectional, bidirectional, multi-directional (see Figure 9.50).

The conditions which affect the type of reaction are bath temperature and the composition of iron or steel which is being coated. At 480-520°C the reaction between iron and zinc can be linear with time so that the thickness of the alloy layers will increase in direct proportion to the immersion time and the reaction will continue to be relatively rapid. With some steels (e.g. some silicon-killed steels), the reaction can be linear at the normal galvanising temperature of about 450 C. 

The new continuous casting processes, in contrast to ingot cast products, provide tin mill products which are exceptionally clean and formable. The deoxidizing processes required for continuous casting involve either aluminum or silicon killing, which adds aluminum or silicon to the steel. Experience with type D steels indicates that the added aluminum will not cause a corrosion problem. Laubscher and Weyandt (18) have shown that the silicon found in silicon killed, continuous cast, heavily coated ETP will not adversely affect the corrosion performance of plain cans packed with mildly acid food products in which tin usually protects steel. The data on enameled cans is not definitive. Additional published data are required to determine whether or not silicon actually reduces the performance of enameled cans made from enameled, heavily coated, silicon killed, continuous cast ETP. 

Another specialty area is coil coating, which involves coating metal coils by continuous operation. Modern roller systems afford speeds of up to 200 m/min. Most coils are made of cold-rolled and surface treated steel, aluminum, or alloys of the latter with manganese or magnesium. Coating systems are based on alkyd or acrylic resins, oil-free polyester, silicone-modified polyester or acrylic resin, poly(vinylidene fluoride), or poly(vinyl fluoride). Water-reducible systems, mainly based on acrylic resins, have been developed for aluminum as well as for steel coils [21-24], Drying is carried out by continuous operation in gas- or oil-heated multichamber ovens. 

High purity 50% ferrosilicon containing <0.1% Al and C is used for production of stainless steel and corded wire for tires, where residual aluminum can cause harmful alumina-type inclusions. These are also useful in continuous cast heats, where control of aluminum is necessary. High purity grades of 50 and 75% ferrosilicon containing low levels of aluminum, calcium, and titanium are used for silicon additions to grain-oriented electrical steels, where low residual aluminum content contributes to the attainment of desired electrical properties, eg, significant reduction of eddy currents. 

The electrodes are manufactured from single or multistrand stainless steel wires (Fig. 4). The interconnection cables are coated with silicone. Besides a simple manufacturing technology, the electrodes demonstrate good electrical and mechanical properties [35]. In long term implantations the nerve damage due to continuous electrical stimulation was below 4.8%. Explantation of the electrodes is easy to perform [36]. 

The cone calorimeter is also used to quantify the corrosivity of products of combustion as described in ASTM D 5485. The Cone Corrosimeter uses the same load cell, specimen holder, retainer frame, spark igniter, conical heater, and exhaust system as the cone calorimeter. A heated stainless steel sampling tube is connected to a funnel placed on top of the conical heater. A gas sample is continuously drawn from the tube at a rate of 4.5 L/min. The sampling tube is connected with silicone rubber tubing to the pump via an 11.2L exposure chamber, a filter, and a flow meter. A target is placed in the exposure chamber at the start of the test and exposed to the corrosive atmosphere of the gas sample for 60 min or until the specimen has lost 70% of its total mass loss, whichever occurs first.
