Engineering Characteristics of Drawn Filled Nitinol Tube (.pdf)
The elastic behavior of various thermally set Nitinol-DFT(R)-Platinum1 composite wires was investigated in both axial and flexural modes. Two varieties of composite materials were analyzed, each unique in the amount of cross-sectional area made up of Platinum. The measured properties...

Polyimide
temperature for interrmittent exposure can range from cryogenic to as high as 900 F. Glass-fiber reinforced versions retain over 70% of their flexural strength and modulus at 480 F. Creep is almost nonexistent, even at high temperatures and deformation at under load (4,000 psi) is less than 0.05% at room...

Thermoplastic Composites
mechanical properties of plastics by a factor of two or more. Tensile strength of nylon, for example, can be increased from about 10,000 psi to over 30,000 psi, and deflection temperature to almost 500 F, from 170 F. A 40% glass-fortified acetal has a flexural modulus of 1.8 10 (to the 6th power) psi...

Engineering Plastics Div., Hoechst Celanese Corp. (Celcon) and copolymers by BASF Corporation Plastic Materials (Ultraform). Melting points of the homopolymers are higher, and they are harder, have higher resistance to fatigue, are more rigid, and have higher tensile and flexural strength with generally...

The ABCs of ABS
from Manitowoc Ice Inc., Manitowoc, Wis., come from Lustran 456 resin. The opaque, matte-gloss ABS resin has a tensile yield stress of 1,900 lb/in. , a flexural yield stress of 4,100 lb/in. , and a flexural modulus of 173,000 lb/in. The aftermarket golf-cart top from Primex Plastics Corp., Oakwood...

Structural Foam
. A high percentage of physical, mechanical, and electrical properties is maintained at elevated temperatures, within limits defined by the heat-deflection temperatures. The strength and stiffness of PSU and PES are virtually unaffected up to their glass-transition temperature. For example, the flexural...

Liquid-Crystal Polymers
and, for mechanical properties, 220 C. The high heatdeflection value of biphenol-based resins permits molded parts to be exposed to intermittent temperatures as high as 315 C without affecting properties. Resistance to high temperature flexural creep is excellent, as are fracture-toughness characteristics...
