The Effect of Process Characteristics on Metal Fill and Defect Formation in Aluminum Lost Foam castings
The process used to make the foam patterns generally involves two steps. The first step is pre-expansion in which the raw polystyrene beads are expanded to the desired bulk density. The expansion is accomplished by either heating the beads in vacuum, or by applying steam to obtain the desired

Polyolefins
strength of each polyolefm may be quite different. Stress-crack resistance and useful temperature range also vary with crystalline structure. In addition to the solid polyolefin resins, these materials are also available as beads from which very low density (1.25 to 5.0 lb/ ft3) foam shapes and blocks

Mastering color
in personal care items such as Suave hair-care products. To get the desired effect, a multipart masterbatch color system was developed for the blow-molded bottles. The trilayered bottles made from high-density polyethylene feature bright primary colors for children and soft pearlescence for adults

Low Smoke Polyphenylene Ether Blends (.pdf)
char formation and low smoke toxicity when burned. Addition of a proprietary smoke suppressant 'LS-1' to a flame-retarded PPE blend results in low smoke density without significantly affecting smoke toxicity and flame-retardance, possibly owing to the formation of intumescent char. In addition

Welding with light
. LASER-TRANSMISSION BASICS. The Beer-Lambert law gives the transmission of light, T, through a material: T = 10 -A. where A is the absorbance defined by: A = a l. Here, a is the material's absorption coefficient (mm 2 /gm), is the density (gm/mm 3 ), and l is the thickness (mm). When absorbance is relatively low
