A composite material is a combination of two materials with different physical and chemical properties. When they are combined they create a material which is specialised to do a certain job, for instance to become stronger, lighter or resistant to elect
AZoMaterials spoke to Scott Mittl, Vice President of Sales at Insaco®, about how composite materials are defined, how composites are machined by Insaco, and the expected direction of CMC materials in the future. Could you give our readers an overview of what a composite material is?
What is TCP Pipe? As mentioned above, TCP (thermoplastic composite pipes) systems use thermoplastic materials to provide strength and stiffness to the pipe. These pipes are fully-bonded and spoolable, usually with a polymeric inner lining, a fibre-reinforced polymeric laminate and an outer jacket...
In the realm of optics, materials can be classified into three categories depending on how they interact with light: Transparent, translucent and opaque. While some materials allow the light to pass through completely, others offer various degree of resistance. The science that...
PLA is not usually chosen for its strength properties, due to the material being brittle. If you are printing on a budget, PLA can be appropriate in some cases but if your part needs to flex before breaking, you are usually better off using a different material. ...
