THERMOPLASTICS ENGINEERING
Among polymers, polyamide has won for itself a special niche in the plastics market, thanks to its
excellent technical characteristics such as: durability, thermomechnical resistance, low friction coefficient,
shape stability, wide design possibilities and ease of operation.

ANODIZATION
Definition: an electrochemical process in which an electric current passing through
an electrolyte is used to increase the thickness of a layer of aluminum-oxide.
Aluminum, as well as its alloy, protect itself against environmental corrosion by spontaneously
forming, upon first contact with the oxygen in the air, a thin layer of aluminum-oxide, which acts
as a protecting film, hampering the formation of a new layer of oxidation. This natural film of oxide
may be as thick as 120 mm.
Through the anodization process it's possible to render some specific
properties to such a protective layer. These properties might include rigidity, resistance to corrosion,
resistance to wear, electric insulate, spectrum brilliance, etc.
Objective: a controlled and uniform increase of the superficial layer of aluminum-oxide.
The thicker this layer is the more efficient it will be, especially when this is associated with specific
processing technological factors.
Processing: when a continuous electric current is sent through two poles immersed in
a alkaline-watery solution, the electrolyses of the water will cause the release of hydrogen in the
negative electrode (-) and of oxygen in the positive (+) electrode.
The oxygen reacts immediately with the aluminum forming a layer of aluminum-oxide (Al2O3),
which evenly covers the metal.
This film of aluminum-oxide is light colored, transparent and rigid, and, depending on the technique
adopted, can be brilliant, opaque (haze) or colored.
Setting: this is the final stage of the anodization process. It simply
is the bathing of the anodized metal in nonionic boiling water with a pH ranging between 5.5 and 6.5.

CLIENT: PRONTO SORO COMERCIAL EXPORTADORA LTDA.
MATERIAL: I.V. CEILING POLE
DESCRIPTION OF WORK: LOAD CAPACITY TESTS
DESCRIPTION OF TEST
The device was installed into a concrete slab as provided for under the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The weights which were used were set at digital eletronic scale with a 0,1g accuracy.
The purpose was to estabilish load values which would start hook deformation.
The test was divided info five steps.
In the firdt step only one hook was loaded.
In the second step two hooks were loaded.
In the third step the entire set was loaded, up to a value considered as optimum,
vis a vis the actual loads which will be applied when using the equipment.
In the fourth step a maximum load test was carried out, with maximum load applied
to the shaft, positioned at the end of the bar, which allows for the rotation of the set.
In the fifth step the device was loaded to breaking point.
OBS: In all steps the position of the shaft was the center of the bean, safe for the fourth step.
RESULTS
First step:
Value of load applied to one hook which started to cause deformation visible at naked eye.
P1 = 6,000 Kgf
Note: Elastic deformation. Once the load was removed, the hook retumed to its original position.
Second step
Value of load, applied to two opposite hooks, which started to cause deformation visible at naked eye.
First hook - P2 = 5,600 Kgf
Second hook - P3 = 5,600 Kgf
Note: (Elastic deformation)
Third step
Total load applied to the shaft, with the second section fixed by pressure, with no deformation
having occurred, nor sliding of the bar moveable section.
P4 = 53.4053 Kgf
Fourth step
The vertical shaft was positioned at the end of the ceiling support and the maximum applied load
which allows for the rotation of the support was verified.
P5 = 14.900 Kgf
Fifth step
Load which was applied and caused rupture in the lifting eye of the upper swivel which allows
for the rotation of the bar.
P6 = 64.135 Kgf
CONCLUSION
Considering the value of the loads applied, which did not cause to the different sections of the
device any plastic deformation, except in the case of rupture, we conclude that the device is adequate,
with a wide safety allowance, to the proposed use, i.e., to be a support for I.V. bottles, for hospital utilization.
