Laminated Plastics
, as they are in a machined part. The molded-macerated method is used for similar parts that require uniform strength properties in all directions. Other common forms of laminated plastics are composite sheet laminates that incorporate a third material bonded to one or both surfaces of the laminate. Metals most

Fast heat for fast food
elements bonded to mirror-sized substrates can clear the surface of frost and moisture. When it comes to getting a lot of heat fast, it looks as though a thin layer of graphite may be better than ordinary heaters made with nichrome wire. This realization may soon transform the construction

Fast Bike
Epoxy bonding can be a quick means of throwing together structural parts when you need a fast prototype. The prototype suspension-equipped mountain bike frame is made from carbon and Kevlar laminates bonded with West System epoxy resin. The suspension system is a free-floating design that doesn't

Stronger and Lighter -- Composites Make Their Mark
A composite material is two or more materials bonded together. This distinguishes composites from metallic alloys, in which one constituent is dissolved in another. Biological structural materials in nature including wood, bamboo, bone, teeth, and shell are all composites. Use of synthetic composite materials

Attachment anxiety
mechanical and thermal-fastening methods. Rather than concentrating stress at a single point, adhesives distribute stress load over a broad area, resulting in more even distribution. A joint bonded with adhesive better resists flex and vibration stresses than, for example, a riveted joint. Adhesives form

Advancing the art of moldmaking
or aluminum sheet. The layers are then pressed together, bonded to achieve about 94% of the tensile and shear strength of P-20 steel, and finished machined. This last task puts a fine finish on the part surfaces and machines ejectors and other mold features. Class-A surfaces may require plating the laminate
