UPCOTT GILL, 170, STRAND, W.C, 1887. PRINTED BY A. BRADLEY, 170, STRAND, LONDON. 3W PREFACE. " JjJjtfN these days, when of making books there is no end," ^*^ and every description of work, whether professional or amateur, has a literature of its own, it is strange that scarcely anything should have been written on the fascinating arts of Chasing and Repousse Work. It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ? " is said to be a very common question. I have written the following pages in the hope that they might, in some measure, supply a want, and prove of service to my brother amateurs. It has been hinted to me that some of my chapters are rather "advanced;" in other words, that I have gone farther than amateurs are likely to follow me.

Fill a one quart or 1000 ml beaker nearly full with Activator-SS. 2. Check solution temperature to assure it is between 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. Check connections from power supply to anode and work to be sure the negative (-) and positive (+) wires are connected properly. • The work should be charged negative (-), and the anode positive (+). • Use a Stainless Steel Anode 4. Turn rectifier on. 5. Activate at 6-8 volts for 45-60 seconds depending on size of part. Part should be completely clean prior to further plating. 6. Larger parts require slightly higher voltage, while smaller parts require lower voltage. If part shows any burning such as dark or gray deposits around the edges, you are burning the part and must lower the voltage. If part is not cleaning after two minutes, voltage is too low, therefore, increase voltage slightly. 7. After Activating, rinse part thoroughly in water and continue the plating process with Fastgold brush plating or Caswell Tank Plating Gold at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Plate 15- 30 seconds longer than normal. 8. If you are not going to continue the plating process immediately, then dry the part thoroughly. When you continue the plating process, re-activate the part in Activator~SS to assure better adhesion. 9. Change solution when Activator-55 becomes inactive, reaches a pH higher than 2, or noticeably dirty. Discard &: Replace: Activator-SSTM is a rugged solution and is designed to help assure long life.

  • Investment Casting Or the Lost Wax Process
    Investment Casting or The Lost Wax Process Apecs Investment Castings was founded in 1963 and is now situated in the Melbourne suburb of Burwood where we have been since we outgrew our Canterbury factory in August 1987. The company name (APECS), stands for Anthony Philip Eccles Casting Service. Investment is a type of plaster that we use in our process of reproducing multiple copies of an original master pattern which is usually supplied to us by our customers. This is a classic 18ct yellow gold emerald and diamond ring taken from the Apecs catalogue. The next series of photos will show the steps involved in producing multiple copies of this ring. An original master pattern is designed and fabricated by our customers and supplied to us to reproduce in the quantities and metals of their choice. It is important to ensure that the master is made as accurately as possible and to pay particular attention to the finish of the master pattern. The better the quality of the master pattern the better the casting result. The finished master pattern ready for the caster. A picture of the master pattern is drawn and a mould number is allocated for identification. When the customer wants to reorder he quotes the mould number for the pattern he wants. A sprue is soldered onto the pattern. This sprue enables the pattern to be easily located in the mould and will provide the path for the wax to be injected into the rubber mould. To make a mould the master pattern is placed between sheets of uncured vulcanising rubber.

  • Silver Or Gold: the Color of Brass Instruments in the Late Middle Ages
    1 Silver or Gold: The Color of Brass Instruments in the Late Middle Ages Timothy J. McGee The purpose of this article is to lay out some details I have gathered about brass instruments during the late Middle Ages as a way of requesting assistance from the readers of this jour- nal. As will become immediately evident, I am using the word "brass" in its meaning as a synonym for "cup-mouthpiece instruments," because my question has to do with the actual material the instruments were made of. In the process of researching the activities of the civic musicians of Florence during the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, I have encountered considerable confusion about the material used for trumpets and trombones, and about the symbolism intended by the use of particular metals. Here is what I have found. The earliest reference to the employment of civic musicians in Florence is from gov- ernment documents of 8 February 1292' naming six trumpet players (tubatores) along with a player of the cenamella (probably a double reed) and another who played cimballella (undoubtedly the cymbals). The civic ensemble, known as the trombadori, was part of the ceremonial presence of Florence, participating in all official functions such as the frequent processions welcoming distinguished foreign visitors to the city, civic celebrations in honor of saints' days, or assemblies in which the governing executive appeared in public. The trombadori also accompanied the military in the field, and acted as representatives of the city of Florence by participating in celebrations in other cities. The earliest reference is as follows: ..

  • Corrosion of Titanium Implants and Connected Prosthetic Alloys Using Lactic Acid Immersion Test

Titanium showed highest dissociation rates (2.00-12.06µg/cm2 per day; p=0.0002); all other components demonstrated poor corrosive dissolution (<0.6µg/cm2 per day). After immersion of 38 days, titanium still yielded high dissociation (0.64-1.38µg/ cm2 per day) for all test groups.

  • Rhodium Plating
    Rhodium Plating Dr. Ronald J. Morrissey Applications that deposits from the phosphate system are somewhat whiter, Rhodium is one of the whitest of metals, and this, together and mixed phosphate-sulfate systems are sometimes used. with its hardness and resistance to wear and tarnishing, have Insoluble hydrous oxides of rhodium can form at quite low established it as a premier finish for jewelry and decorative pH values. In order to avoid this, it is important to maintain work of all types. Its stable contact resistance and high the acidity of rhodium plating solution. All other things being melting point have also made it useful in electrical and equal, this is more easily accomplished in the sulfate than in electronic applications, notably in reed blades, in which its the phosphate system. resistance to arcing is particularly advantageous. Rhodium For decorative applications, rhodium plating solutions is, however, also the most expensive of the precious metals. rarely contain more than about 2 g/L rhodium, together with In recent years, its use has, with few exceptions, been about 20 mL/L of concentrated sulfuric acid. For heavier restricted to very thin deposits, usually over other white deposits, the rhodium content is increased to about 4-10 g/L, metals such as nickel, silver or, in the case of reed blades, together with about 20-50 mL/L sulfuric acid. In either case, ruthenium. plating is carried out at about 1-5 A/dm2 at 40-45 °C. Proprietary stress-relieving agents are available, but in any Processes event, it is difficult to plate rhodium in a crack-free condition Although rhodium can be evaporated under vacuum, in from aqueous solution at thicknesses much above 2 to 2.5 practice it is almost always electrodeposited.
