Abstract:
A method of preparing abrasive articles exhibiting improved homogeneity and breakdown properties is disclosed. The method comprises admixing abrasive grits and a bond phase comprising silica particles, alumina, a flux and water, to form a slurry, wherein the silica particles are on the average smaller than the average grit particles; drying the slurry to form a precursor powder; and compacting the precursor powder to form an abrasive greenware article. This abrasive greenware article can then be densified, for example, by sintering, to form a densified abrasive article. The resulting abrasive article has a porcelain bond composition. Because of the uniform bond composition attained with this invention, extremely fine abrasive grits can be employed.
Abstract:
Aminomethylphosphonic chelating resins are prepared by amination, hydrolysis and methylphosphonation of haloalkylated polymer beads. The amination of the haloalkylated polymer beads is carried out with hexamethylenetetramine. The produced haloaminated beads are hydrolysed and methylphosphonated in one single step without addition of a substantial amount of formaldehyde or a formaldehyde releasing compound.
Abstract:
Non-whiteware ceramic articles having an increased green strength are prepared from slip compositions containing, as an additive, a polyalkylene polyamine or a mixture of a polyalkylene polyamine and binder. An example of such an additive is tetraethylenepentamine or a mixture of tetraethylenepentamine and a styrene butadiene latex.
Abstract:
The adhesive of the present invention includes latexes with an adhesion promoter which is preferably polyamidoamine. The addition of the polyamidoamine improves the adhesive strength between substrates such as between two plastic films or between a plastic film and paperboard. The present invention also relates to an adhesive prepared from a latex which is neutralized with a particular base and a hydrophobic polyamidoamine having particular amine values and viscosity whereby the strength of the adhesive bond is increased in humid conditions. The present invention also relates to an adhesive which is stable in the presence of water containing high levels of ions.
Abstract:
A boron carbide/titanium diboride composite ceramic powder is disclosed produced by mixing boron carbide and a titanium source, such that the average reactant particle size is less than 20 micrometers and substantially all discrete reactant areas are less than 50 micrometers, followed by heating the mixture wherein the boron carbide particles form substrates to which the titanium diboride particles are attached. The resulting powder has boron carbide and titanium diboride particles less than 20 micrometers in diameter. This powder can then be densified to form a part wherein the titanium diboride grains have an average size of less than 20 micrometers and the boron carbide grains having an average size of less than 50 micrometers. Because of the uniformity of initial dispersion, the densified part shows a microstructure that is also very uniform in distribution of boron carbide and titanium diboride.
Abstract:
A coal slurry composition which includes a major amount of finely-divided coal, a minor amount of water and a stabilizing amount of a cellulose ether compound.
Abstract:
A process is described for making a composite article without shrinkage, particularly of ceramic and metal wherein the article includes complex internal surfaces or cavities. The process requires forming an insert body that includes an external surface that corresponds to an internal cavity of the article. The insert body consists of a material having a melting temperature less than that of the article. The process further requires forming a porous compact about the insert body wherein the compact is formed into the substantially the net shape of the article. The compact is made of a material that is wetted by liquid insert material and has a sintering temperature greater than the wetting temperature of the insert material. The process further requires heating the article to a temperature such that the insert substantially melts and infiltrates the porous compact forming the finished composite article. The process produces products including complex internal surfaces without the necessity of costly and sometimes technically difficult internal machining operations.
Abstract:
A coolant composition containing (1) an alkylene glycol such as propylene glycol, (2) a corrosion inhibitor combination of an azole such as tolyltriazole, a molybdate salt and phosphoric acid and (3) less than 10 weight percent of water exhibits high temperature stability and corrosion inhibition for metals used in internal combustion engine cooling systems, particularly such metals as aluminum and magnesium and a process of cooling such an engine.
Abstract:
Benzocyclobutene-functionalized organosilanes, and a method of increasing adhesion between a polymer and an inorganic surface by using benzocyclobutene-functionalized organosilanes as adhesion aids.
Abstract:
A process for decolorizing an aqueous sugar solution by contacting the solution with an adsorbent resin, wherein the adsorbent resin is a macroporous copolymer being post-crosslinked in a swollen state in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst and functionalized with hydrophilic groups prior to contact with the aqueous sugar solution.
