Both abrasive type and particle size need to be recommended per each application. Using the wrong abrasive may not achieve the goals of the process and may even damage the part being “lapped”. 2) Incorrect Abrasive Carrier - Each application requires a liquid “carrier” to move abrasive to and particulate away from the workpeice. Oil based or water based needs to be determined based on cleaning and corrosion protection requirements of the part. 3) Abrasive Suspension Properties - When choosing a lapping compound, it is important to deter- mine the suspension properties and post process requirements of the fluid. Some fluids are water based for ease of cleaning and some are oil based to provide longer term corrosion protection prior to washing. 4) Abrasive Stability - Lapping compounds tend to separate abrasive particles requiring the fluid provides good suspension properties. CLI compounds are thixotropic, thus, tend to firm up and hold particles in suspension when non flowing. 11-C is water based and is suitable to suspend all types prior to use.

Lapping Plate
Lapping Plate 05M20.20 Patent Pending Lapping is the process of rubbing two surfaces together with an abrasive and a lubricant to improve the quality of at least one of the surfaces. Although lapping can be used to create fl at surfaces, in the context of woodworking, lapping better serves to minimize the roughness of a surface – known as surface conditioning. By minimizing the roughness in the sole of a plane, there is reduced friction between the plane and the workpiece, which in turn reduces abrasion. For blades or chisels, the cutting edge can be made sharper if both intersecting surfaces are free of scratches, even if the back of the blade isn’t perfectly fl at. Straight cutting edge on a lapped blade. Jagged cutting edge on a ground blade. Figure 1: A ground blade versus a lapped blade. Lapping can remove only small amounts of material. If the sole of your plane or the back of your blade is twisted, wavy or bowed, it will be necessary to sand or grind off the high points prior to lapping. Lapping is always performed with an abrasive oil slurry, which not only allows the object to slide Small Abrasive about the lapping plate (called a lap), but also Particles provides a means to remove abraded particles and worn abrasive. Oil Object Abraded Metal Lap Groove in Lap Large Abrasive Particles Figure 2: Lapping mechanics. 2 Important Notes The lapping plate is made of soft iron and will wear over time. These instructions provide information on how to ensure the lap remains fl at for a lifetime.

Compoforging of Al-Si Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with -Sic: an Alternative Technique
The Open Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Journal, 2010, 3, 1-6 1 Open Access Compoforging of Al-Si Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with -SiC: An Alternative Technique M. F. Valencia García1,*, H. V. Martínez2 and A. Morales Ortiz2 1Escuela de Ingeniería de Antioquia; Grupo Productividad hacia la Competitividad GPC – A.A. 7516 Medellín, Colombia 2Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana; Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica. Grupo de Investigación sobre Nuevos Materiales GINUMA – A.A. 56006 Medellín, Colombia Abstract: This paper reports the -SiC particles surface modification by copper Electroless Plating (EP), as well as a morphological characterization of Al-Si reinforced composite obtained with such modified particles and consolidated by compoforging. The -SiC particles were obtained by thermal degradation of organic waste. The compoforging technique is a hybrid between the compocasting process and semi-solid forging. The properties of the obtained composite material derive from its globular structure, which is achieved by mixing the semi-solid alloy and the reinforcing particles. This method produced an almost perfect distribution of the reinforce particles. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve minimum defects (i.e. porosity) by applying pressures up to 60MPa. Keywords: Silicon carbide, electroless plating, superficial modification, mechanical mixing, compoforging. INTRODUCTION Table 1.

Characteristics of Metalworking Fluids – Product Residue
TRIM® TECHNICAL BULLETIN Fluid Solutions for Metalworking Characteristics of Metalworking Fluids – Product Residue For the sake of this discussion, residue is the material left behind on the machine and work pieces after the water evaporates from the working solution. For a metal- working fluid to perform one of its key functions, provide in-process corrosion prevention, it is critical that the fluid leave a corrosion re- sistant (residue) coating. Therefore the question is not “does the fluid leave a residue” but rather “is the residue objectionable?” So once again we are forced to make a val- ue judgment based on the specifics of our manufacturing situation with the understanding that the type of residue that the fluid leaves will affect carryoff and therefore fluid usage, machine function, filtration, machine and part cleanli- A simple but effective method for checking possible residue effects is to pour ness, and grinding wheel loading 5 ml. of coolant concentrate into a petri dish and leave it exposed to the air at among other processes. room conditions for a month or more.

The Textile Centre Seismic Strengthening – Innovative Techniques to Minimise the Impacts on an Historic Structure
THE TEXTILE CENTRE SEISMIC STRENGTHENING – INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES TO MINIMISE THE IMPACTS ON AN HISTORIC STRUCTURE N. RANJIT1, R. ROGERS1, O. SMITH1, S. KHATIWADA2 1 BBR Contech 2 PRENDOS SUMMARY An innovative seismic strengthening system was developed for the century-old Textile Centre building in Auckland’s suburb of Parnell, a former wool store constructed of brick masonry and lightly reinforced concrete with a 13,850m2 footprint. The building remains a historic city landmark and is home to high-flying technology, marketing and design companies. The design of the seismic strengthening system developed was optimised through close collaboration between the Architect, Structural Engineer and Contractors. The strengthening design for the perimeter walls consisted of a combination of vertical Post-Tensioning and Fibre Reinforced Polymer enabling the strengthening system to be installed largely from outside of the building. A key project objective was for the seismic strengthening to have minimal - preferably zero - impact on the building’s external physical appearance. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Textile Centre consists of three distinct structures that were constructed independently between 1912 and 1928. The structures utilised different construction methods and materials but shared partition walls. In addition, the building was modified and strengthened several times over its service life. Large portions of the western and southern façade exhibit reinforced concrete frames with the balance of the external structure and party walls being UnReinforced Masonry (URM). Internal columns, beams and trusses are constructed from either steel or timber. The strengthening works were intended to improve the seismic performance of the structure to at least 67% NBS. To achieve this level of seismic performance, the perimeter walls and frames were upgraded to preclude brittle failure under lateral loads.

Cast Iron Lap
#002-412 Instructions for Charging & Use Cast Iron Lap GENERAL INFORMATION Lapping is a fine finishing operation that is used to produce a very flat, accurate surface and an extra fine finish. The lapping process can be quite complex or reasonably simple depending on your desired result and application. There is much lapping information available on the internet, but be aware that some of this technical advice may not apply to your particular needs. The information presented in these instructions generally applies to the subject of fine tool sharpening and polishing, and mainly for gravers and small hand tools used by engravers, stone setters, jewelers and other fine artists. SOFT & HARD LAPS There are two main categories of lapping plates or wheels: “soft” laps and “hard” laps. Typically, a soft lap is made from cast iron, steel, copper, tin, composites, etc while a hard lap is made from an extremely hard material such as a high-grade ceramic. GRS supplies both a soft lap (Cast Iron Lap #002-412) and a hard lap (Ceramic Lap #002-415). The cutting action, characteristics and use of soft laps differ in important ways from hard laps. A basic understanding of this will help you select and use the right lap. A soft lap works by embedding fine abrasive particles in the surface of the lap before use. This is called “charging” the lap. A hard lap is also “charged” but because of its extreme hardness, the abrasive does not embed itself in the surface like is does in a soft lap. An important goal in using a soft lap is to eliminate loose, non-embedded abrasive particles.
