Answer to Question 1

Specific heat determines the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of the material. For an injection mold that is cooled, a high specific heat is desired so that the heat from the part that is being molded will not cause the mold to heat. This will minimize the work of the coolant. In a mold that is heated, such as a thermoset mold, a low specific heat will allow the mold to be heated more easily.

Answer to Question 2

Repairs of mold cavities may require the grinding and filling of the cavity. The filling will require welding and this may be difficult with some materials.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
