New AIMCAL Metallizing Reference
The AIMCAL Metallizing Technical reference has been recently updated by Charlie Bishop and myself (we recieve nothing for sale of the reference) and is available from www.AIMCAL.org . It was fun to prepare as I always learn more putting something together like this as it organizes my notes and other documents into a more coherent form. I also enjoyed working with Charlie on the new chapters and his new content, how I continue to learn. I would recomend it to anyone working on or with metallized films as it is a unique set of articles on Metallization. AIMCAL prepares items like this to aid its members as well as the industry at Large. Much credit has to go to Craic Sheppard, the executive Director for making things like this possible and the Staff at AIMCAL who trasmit Craigs vision into reality. My wife also deservies a special thanks for proofing the document as Charlie and I are Engineers form the same Sputnik generation when it was more important for us to learn math than english, this simple fact likly saved me in my education! However, as my father told me (after making me incorrectly guess the answer) that the most important subject for enginners is english. This is because no one actually meets you, they just read what you did. Kind of like blogging I guess.
This is the fourth edition and was revised and enlarged from the 2001 third edition. it contains the following chapters:
Section 1: Test Methods and Procedures
Section 2: Electrical, Optical, and Metal Thickness Relationships
Section 3: Barrier Properties of Metallized Films
Section 4: Useful Relationships for Metallized Films
Section 5: Metal Evaporation and Heated Boat Data
Section 6: Aluminum Wire Chemistry, Temper and Oxidation
Section 7: Surface Treatment of Webs for Aluminum Vapor Deposition
Section 8: Substrate Materials for Metallization
Section 9: Substrate Manufacturing Technologies
Section 10: Contamination and Web Cleaning
Section 11: Winding in Vacuum
Section 12: Converting Metallized Films
Section 13: Pattern Metallizing
Section 14: Non-aluminum Deposition Materials & Techniques
Section 15: Water in Vacuum
Section 16: Troubleshooting Vacuum Metallizing
