Common Rubber Materials
Here’s an overview of common rubber materials, categorized by type and described: Natural Rubber (NR): Source: Derived from the latex of the Hevea brasiliensis tree. Key Properties: Excellent elasticity, high tensile strength, good tear resistance, low hysteresis (good resilience), low heat build-up, good abrasion resistance. Poor resistance to oils, fuels, ozone, and weathering. Good low-temperature flexibility. Common Applications: Tires, engine […]
Hot Forging
Hot forging involves shaping the metal above its recrystallization point, which is typically between 0.3 and 0.5 times its absolute melting temperature (Tm). With this, the metal is much easier to shape, especially for metals that are hard to work with when cold. Advantages Thanks to high temperatures, the metal’s resistance to deformation […]
