dissolves and penetrates into the aluminum, is easier to finish and polishes nicely, and best of best it melts at 200-250° C so If you use the right torch, or a good electric gun you won't anneal the alu piece...Kapp has that at a very decent price and they sell at retail......
PEEK is much more expensive than many other plastics so it tends to be used only when nothing else will do. In many cases, it’s necessary to anneal it during the machining process, or else it will form stress fractures. UHMWPE This long name means “ultra high molecular weight ...
Glass log: Jan. 6, 2006 I've taken on a rather large and unprofitable glass project. I am exchanging “mag-glass/Magless” (refrigerator magnets without magnets, made of glass) with 125 other glass artists from around country (and a few from the world at-large). The deadline is Februa...
In general, with respect to etch, deposition and clean processes, established Si process tools can be used for SiC device fabrication. “But they do typically need to be adapted in order to handle SiC and Si substrates,” he said. “A common challenge across all platforms is wafer handling....
That was the old glassmaking term for putting the lip on or forming the lip into some shape. Then they would lay the bottle over a little cradle or something and tap the pontil rod and break it off from the base of the bottle. Then they’d anneal the bottle, or slowly cool it in...
Try to keep your bead under 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) unless you have a kiln to anneal the beads in. Annealing is the process of adding strength by heating and cooling in a kiln. Without this process, glass beads risk cracking and breaking easily.[7] If your match is blown out when tryin...
Glass and kilns vary, so pay close attention as the kiln reaches 700ºC to 780ºC (1300ºF to 1450ºF).[4] Start cooling the kiln, but leave it at 500ºC (950ºF) for 30 minutes to "anneal" the glass, relieving stress and preventing cracking.[5] Expert Q&A ...
