English term or phrase: Iron-ball paint
Bonjour,

Je recherche la traduction de "iron-ball paint". Je traduis un texte de fiction dans lequel il est question de revêtements pour avions furtifs, et notamment d'"iron-ball paint", une peinture contenant des billes microscopiques. L'action se situe dans les années 80, dans le contexte de la guerre froide et des technologies de furtivité.

S'agit-il de pentacarbonyle de fer ?

Merci d'avance !

It is called "Iron ball paint". Iron ball is a nickname for carbonyl iron, or iron carbonyl. The molecular structure of carbonyl iron is a single iron atom (valence 10) surrounded by 5 carbon monoxide structures, forming a ball-shaped molecule

peinture de boules de fer carbonyle


Explanation:
"La peinture de boules de fer carbonyle est plus efficace lorsque les billes sont réparties de façon égale, isolé électriquement, et présentent un gradient progressif"

Le SR-71 basait sa furtivité là dessus, en étant recouvert d'une peinture à base de microbilles d'acier et de titane, qui "absorbait" le rayonnement radar de deux façons. D'une part en forçant les ondes radars à rebondir de façon multiple entre les grains (donc en provocant la dissipation du rayonnement radar par le chemin parcouru) et d'autre part, ce type d'enduit permet de convertir une partie des ondes radars en chaleur (par oscillations moléculaires), chaleur ensuite transférée à l'appareil et dissipée au milieu ambiant."

le texte utilise bien "iron-ball paint", et non "Iron pentacarbonyl". C'est un registre non technique.

Explanation:
Surtout si c'est de la fiction, vaut mieux que le lecteur comprenne de quoi il s'agit.
Oui, il y a des microparticules de fer; oui, elle proviennent du pentacarbonyle de fer, mais... si c'est un petit lecteur de 8 ans, la chimie lui passera par-dessus la tête avec l'avion!

Reference: Iron pentacarbonyl

Reference information:
Le pentacarbonyle de fer, également appelé fer pentacarbonyle qui est une traduction incorrecte de l'anglais iron carbonyl, est un composé chimique du fer de formule chimique brute Fe(CO)5. Dans les conditions standards, Fe(CO)5 est un liquide mobile de couleur jaune paille avec une odeur âcre.
Il est un précurseur commun pour de nombreux et divers autres composés du fer dont beaucoup sont utilisés en synthèse organique
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentacarbonyle_de_fer

In Europe, iron pentacarbonyl was once used as an anti-knock agent in petrol in place of tetraethyllead. Two more modern alternative fuel additives are ferrocene and methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. Fe(CO)5 is used in the production of "carbonyl iron", a finely divided form of Fe, a material used in magnetic cores of high-frequency coils for radios and televisions and for manufacture of the active ingredients of some radar absorbent materials (e.g. iron ball paint). It is famous as a chemical precursor for the synthesis of various iron-based nanoparticles.
Iron pentacarbonyl has been found to be a strong flame speed inhibitor in oxygen based flames.[10] A few hundred ppm of iron pentacarbonyl are known to reduce the flame speed of stoichiometric methane-air flame by almost 50%. However due to its toxic nature it has not been used widely as a flame retardant.
