摘要： A blade is made of a heat-treat-able and corrosion resistant steel, preferably 440C stainless, that has one or two sharp edges for resurfacing ice, such as at an ice rink with an ice resurfacing machine, such as a Zamboni® resurfacing machine. It uses at least one attached mounting bolt; and may have a removable safety cover mounted to it. The method of producing the blade includes: selecting a corrosion resistant metal; forming it to have one or two sharp edges; defining a receiver hole for receiving a threaded mounting bolt; heat-treating to a hardness of about 55; machining; and securing a mounting bolt through the blade to align with a mounting location. The blade may contain stiffening inserts. The blade may contain a bushing to secure and precisely locate the mounting bolt.

摘要： Methods for temporarily protecting a surface of a glass article by coating the surface are provided. The methods include forming a stable, hydrophobic, removable film on the surface at the end of the glass manufacturing process while the glass is still at an elevated temperature (e.g., above 175° C.). The film reduces chip adhesion to the surface as a result of cutting and grinding. After cutting and grinding, the film is removed allowing the glass to be used in such processes as the manufacture of liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
