Vacuum forming involves heating a sheet of plastic until soft and then stretching it over a mould using a vacuum to create a shaped object. Line bending heats a plastic sheet along a specific line ...

These techniques are used to create a wide range of products, from hollow containers to layered materials with enhanced properties. You should have your mould ready - so go and grab that if you ...

The tunable Tc region of MnSb alloy (44 - 49 % at. Sb) was analyzed using OM, VSM, DSC, XRD, EDS and XRF characterization techniques. Thermal and magnetic analysis suggests the existence of a non ...
