Beryllium Copper Beryllium copper is a type of copper alloy that contains a small amount of beryllium, typically between 0.5% and 3% by weight. Beryllium is a rare, metallic element that is valued for its strength, lightweight, and excellent thermal conductivity. When added to copper, beryllium forms a solid solution that enhances the strength, […]
Burrs On Engineering Grade Plastics Burrs can be created during machining on engineering grade plastics. Burrs are unwanted pieces of material that can be left on the edges of machined parts after manufacturing. Burrs can be caused by a variety of factors, including the type of machining process, the cutting tool geometry, the material […]
Introduction Urethane is a synthetic material that belongs to the class of polymers known as polyurethanes. It is a versatile material that can be formulated to have a wide range of properties, including flexibility, toughness, hardness, and resilience.
