Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 6P
In 2008, The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered copper alloys as an antimicrobial material and approved a number of public health claims related to copper’s ability to kill specific bacteria. One of these claims stated that when cleaned regularly, antimicrobial copper alloy surfaces would kill more than 99.9% of bacteria within 2 hours, and continue to kill more than 99% of bacteria even after repeated contamination. The ancient Egyptians used copper in various forms to sterilize wounds and preserve drinking water, and interest in the medicinal value of the material continued for generations. Interest and use dropped markedly in the 1930s, however, with the development of medicinal antibiotics. Recently, antibioticâ€�resistant bacteria have emerged, and the benefits of copper are again being recognized.
- Use the Internet or other information source to identify some of the health�related applications that are now emerging for copper and copper alloys. Select one such application and summarize its benefits.
- What might be some of the deterrents or limitations to the use of copper and copper alloys, or the conversion to them from other materials, such as stainless steel?

- Copper and copper alloys as specified by the Copper Development Association (CDA) and are designated as C00001 thru C99999 in the Unified Numbering System (UNS). True False An alloy steel designated as AISI 4130 WQT 700 means: chromium-molybdenum alloy steel containing .30% carbon in solution, that is through heat treated and water quenched. True False An AISI 4340 alloy steel contains .43 percent or 43 points of the element carbon in solution. True False Chemicals from which the commercially important plastic resins are derived are themselves derived from natural products that are quite plentiful; these raw materials include coal, water, limestone, sulfur, salt, and petroleum.

(b) A test identical to that described in part (a) is conducted, but this time the test is conducted in vacuum. The coefficient of friction remains high through the test, the wear volumes are much greater, and the track on the disc surface following the test is very rough and silvery in colour. (c) A test identical to that described in part (a) is conducted, but this time the test is conducted in air at 300 ◦C.
