At its core,additive manufacturingis defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as "the process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer." This process stands in stark contrast to conventional manufacturing techniques like machining, mold...
The tensile strength and number-average molecular weight for two polyethylene materials are as follows: What is the effect of grain size on strength and toughness of a metal? Is material's hardness proportional to its stiffness? What is the effect of temperature on materials? Explain in detail ...
The chemical composition of a material is a significant driver of its performance. A few atoms of aluminum in a titanium alloy can drastically change stiffness and yield strength. Measuring the atomic composition of an alloy under development or in production with the appropriate type of spectrometer...
Talc is a platy mineral widely used in polypropylene, polyethylene and polyamide to improve stiffness and other properties. Talcs with a high aspect ratio improve stiffness, heat resistance and dimensional stability. Talcs with fine particle sizes improve impact resistance.1 Surface treatments can impr...
With machine tools, the moving part is not moving on the table.Strictly speaking, the table is deformed by the weight of the moving part. While the actual impact is extremely small, in some cases the machining precision may decrease. On the other hand, dynamic stiffness is stiffness when ...
Required Characteristics:These include impact strength, resistance to chemicals and solvents, paintability, weatherability, stability, heat deflection, creep and stiffness. The material must also provide hot strength and flow characteristics to create a structurally functional part that is cosmetically appeali...
Usually when you hear the term “stiffness” in strength training you conjure up negative associations, for example tight muscles, poor posture, and restricted movement. Another type of stiffness can occur when you encounter something like this (see pic) but that kind of stiffness is not appropri...
Carbon fiber is inert, insensitive to temperature, and provides excellent protection in hostile industrial environments. Carbon fiber is the ideal material for maximizing stiffness with very low mass for CMM styli above 50 mm in length.CMM probes and sensors Accessories for CMMs Buy CMM ...

Strength is a key property in materials that determines their ability to endure an applied force without failure. Whereas stiffness describes how much a material resists bending or deforming when a force is applied. Both properties are crucial in engineering and construction, but they serve different...
