solidification's Usage Examples:

The frames into which hard soaps are ladled for cooling and solidification consist of rectangular boxes made of iron plates and bound and clamped together in a way that allows the sides to be removed when required; wooden frames are used in the case of mottled soaps.

If, ignoring temporarily and for simplicity the fact that part of the carbon may exist in the state of graphite, we consider the behaviour of iron in cooling from the molten state, AB and BC give the temperature at which, for any given percentage of carbon, solidification begins, and Aa, aB, and Bc that at which it ends.

Let us con sider a little more closely the solidification of the mixture represented by the vertical line Pqrs.

The transformation of polymorphs presents certain analogies to the solidification of a liquid.

- The solidification of an ingot of steel takes place gradually from without inwards, and each layer in solidifying tends to expel into the still molten interior the impurities which it contains, especially the carbon, phosphorus, and sulphur, which by this process are in part concentrated or segregated in the last-freezing part of the ingot.

Solidification of the first kind may be termed "setting," that of the second "coagulation."

Neville proved that when one metal is alloyed with a small quantity of some other metal, the solidification obeys the law of F.

Ruff and Curt Albert (Ber., 1905, 38, p. 53) by decomposing titanium fluoride with silicon chloroform in sealed vessels at 100 -120° C. It is a colourless gas which may be condensed to a liquid boiling at -80 2° C. On solidification it melts at about -110° C. The gas is very unstable, decomposing slowly, even at ordinary temperatures, into hydrogen,, silicon fluoride and silicon: 4SiHF 3 =2H 2 +3SiF 4 +Si.

Liquids may be cooled below their freezing-point without solidification, the metastable (after W.

There may be other halts in the cooling, both before and after complete solidification, due to evolution of heat in the mixture.
