Review of Infrared Heating and Its Application to UHMWPE
- ORNL
The purpose of the cooperative research and development agreement between Smith & Nephew, Inc. (S&N) and ORNL was to explore the effects of infrared radiation heating on the physical properties of UHMWPE. Certified bars of ram extruded GUR 1050 UHMWPE were exposed to infrared heat under various conditions at ORNL. For comparison, specimens from the same bar stock were remelted using a conventional oven. The benefit to DOE was that knowledge was gained in low-temperature, vacuum heat-treating of polymers.
