Description:
Surface deterioration and dimensional stability tests have been carried
out on the low melting point replication alloy described in the first
report. A range of alloys for the replication of surfaces at temperatures
in the range 120 - 150°C has been prepared and evaluated. Preliminary
studies of a cold pressing technique using fully annealed commercial
purity aluminium as the replication material have shown that the technique
has considerable promise for application over a wide range of temperatures.
