    The document discusses various non-metallic materials including plastics, rubber, and leather. It provides details on: 1) Thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics, with thermoplastics being able to remelt and thermosets permanently hardening with heat. Common thermoplastics mentioned are celluloid, polythene, and PVC. 2) Rubber's properties of resisting abrasion, heat, alkalis, and acids. Soft rubber is used for insulation while hard rubber is used for piping. 3) Leather being flexible and able to withstand wear under suitable conditions, used for belting and packing. 4) Ferrodo, a

    3) Nichrome

    100
     It consists of 65% nickel, 15% chromium and 20% iron.
     It has high heat and oxidation resistance.
     It is used in making electrical resistance wire for electric furnaces and
    heating elements.

    4) Nimonic
     It consists of 80% nickel and 20% chromium.
     It has high strength and ability to operate under intermittent heating
    and cooling conditions.
     It is widely used in gas turbine engines.

    Non-metallic Materials
    1) Plastics 101

     The plastics are synthetic materials which are moulded into shape
    under pressure with or without the application of heat.
     These can also be cast, rolled, extruded, laminated and machined.

    1. Thermosetting plastics
    2. Thermoplastic

     The thermosetting plastics are those which are formed into shape
    under heat and pressure and results in a permanently hard product.

    Dr. Aung Ko Latt


     The thermoplastic materials do not become hard with the application of
    heat and pressure and no chemical102change occurs.
     They remain soft at elevated temperatures until they are hardened by
    cooling.
     These can be remelted repeatedly by successive application of heat.
     Some of the common thermoplastics are cellulose nitrate (Celluloid),
    polythene, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C.), etc.
     The plastics are extremely resistant to corrosion and have a high
    dimensional stability.
     They are mostly used in the manufacture of aeroplane and automobile
    parts.
     They are also used for making safety glasses, laminated gears, pulleys,
    self-lubricating bearing, etc. due to their resilience and strength.

    Dr. Aung Ko Latt


    2) Rubber
     It is one of the most important natural plastics.
     It resists abrasion, heat, strong alkalis
    103 and fairly strong acids.

     Soft rubber is used for electrical insulations.


     It is also used for power transmission belting, being applied to woven
    cotton or cotton cords as a base.
     The hard rubber is used for piping and as lining for pickling tanks.
    3) Leather
     It is very flexible and can withstand considerable wear under suitable
    conditions.
     It is extensively used for power transmission belting and as a packing
    or as washers.
    4) Ferrodo
     It is a trade name given to asbestos lined with lead oxide.
     It is generally used as a friction lining for clutches and brakes.
