  • Precision Aluminum Investment Casting
    A high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent thermal conductivity and good corrosion-resistance are just some of the reasons for using aluminum. If you're looking for low mass, good heat transfer, or the opportunity to avoid coating processes, precision aluminum investment casting is probably
  • Titanium Versus Steel: A Battle of Strength
    Is titanium stronger than steel? If you're looking for a short answer, yes. Titanium has a higher strength-to-weight ratio, making it well-suited for applications that place a premium on stronger, lighter alloys - like aerospace. Both steel and titanium are strong, durable, and can easily withstand
  • What are Hydro-entangled Nonwovens?
    the fibers and create many fiber-to-fiber intersections. This technology is known for producing nonwovens fabrics with high web uniformity, high strength to weight ratio, lower mean pore size and increased absorption properties. For these reasons, the hydro-entangled nonwovens, sometimes referred
  • White Paper: Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic 3D Printing
    fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar fiber have superior strength-to-weight ratio. Embedded fibers provide strength and stiffness along the direction they laid on while the thermoplastic matrix maintains the cohesion of these fibers and allows them to take loads. Thermoplastics exhibit much lower stiffness
  • Modular Composite Deck System for Bridge Construction and Replacement
    Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials were used to develop a modular bridge deck that has high strength and stiffness to weight ratios, that is non-corrosive, and that has good fatigue resistance. The composite deck cross-section and fiber architecture were designed to provide optimal
  • Dielectric Materials for Use in Radomes
    for an expansive variety of physical characteristics for use in a myriad of applications (see Table 1). At General Plastics, we focus on specialized flexible and rigid products that are close celled, non-absorbent, antimicrobial materials often used in applications where low weight, high strength
