Workpiece reclaiming apparatus

Abstract: An apparatus for reclaiming metal cladding or the like from an elongated clad workpiece, with minimal or no damage to the workpiece, so that it can be reused. The apparatus includes an improved carriage-mounted shearing tool that is advanced or walked progressively along the workpiece and after making an initial separation of the cladding from the workpiece completes the separation by a unique peeling of the cladding from the workpiece. The apparatus may also be provided with an impact type tool for use in the decladding operation.

A Gas Probe Analysis of Structural Trends in Boron Glasses

Abstract: Studies on the structure of boron-containing glasses have been well documented by Griscom (1). The techniques described in those studies are, in general, electromagnetic “probes”, e.g. X-ray diffraction, electron spin resonance, etc… An alternate method was suggested in 1962 by Doremus (2), viz. a careful analysis of the solution of relatively small diameter gas atoms or molecules in the glass network structure. More recently, the authors (3) have described a particular version of this method referred to as the “gas probe technique”. It is based on a statistical thermo-dynamic analysis of the gas solution process. A description follows in the next section. In general, the analysis provides values for the binding energy between a dissolved helium atom and the glass network and the vibrational frequency of the atom. This information, in turn, describes the potential energy well for the dissolved atom. The potential well is a direct result of the glass network structure in the immediate vicinity of the dissolved atom, i.e. the solubility site.

A theoretical study of extruded, graded dielectric cables

Abstract: Power cables designed for 115-KV and above require a relatively thick insulating wall that results in a large overall cable diameter and a large volume of insulation per foot of conductor, A typical 138-KV cable may be made with an insulating wall of nearly one inch The radial electric stress in this insulation is a maximum at the strand shield-insulation interface and decreases (inversely with radius) to the insulation-insulation shield interface By using two or more dielectric layers with different dielectric constants one can reduce the maximum electric stress near the strand shield

A "New" Crosslinking Process for Extruded Dielectric Cable

Abstract: Commercial processes used to make extruded crosslinked dielectric cable and factors affecting cable quality are briefly reviewed. In most processes, the cable is heated (cured) and cooled from the outside and productivity is controlled by heat conduction through the dielectric. In laboratory experiments described here, the dielectric is simultaneously cured from the inside by inductively heating the cable conductor and from the outside using steam. This technique, termed INPRO, increases productivity and improves cable quality (residual peroxide, visual halo, microvoids, cure state, and heat distortion resistance). Computer calculations indicate that similar benefits might be obtained commercially.
