  2. Glass transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_transition

    The glass transition of a liquid to a solid-like state may occur with either cooling or compression. [10] The transition comprises a smooth increase in the viscosity of a material by as much as 17 orders of magnitude within a temperature range of 500 K without any pronounced change in material structure. [11]

  3. FKM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FKM

    FKM is a family of fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer materials defined by ASTM International standard D1418, [1] and ISO standard 1629. [2] It is commonly called fluorine rubber or fluoro-rubber.

    Tungsten is often used in high temperature applications as well as for filaments in electron/ion optics. It becomes brittle from work hardening when mechanically deformed, or subjected to very high temperatures. Molybdenum and tantalum are useful for high temperature applications. [3] Titanium and niobium are good materials.

  5. Magnesium/Teflon/Viton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium/Teflon/Viton

    Thermites based on magnesium/Teflon/Viton, aka MTV-compositions, have been in use since the 1950s as payloads in infrared decoy flare applications. [1] Derived from the acronym MTV is the expression "MTV-Flare" for pyrotechnic infrared decoy flares.

    Viton: Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) Elastomer: Depends on the grade of the polymer. Viton B is used in chemical process plants and gaskets. Zylon: poly-p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole (PBO) Very high tensile strength and thermal stability: Used in tennis racquets, table tennis blades, body armor, etc.

  7. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    The path or series of states through which a system passes from an initial equilibrium state to a final equilibrium state [1] and can be viewed graphically on a pressure-volume (P-V), pressure-temperature (P-T), and temperature-entropy (T-s) diagrams. [2] There are an infinite number of possible paths from an initial point to an end point in a ...

    Its operating temperature range is -50 to 200 °C [citation needed] PTFE (fluoropolymer) tubes have a wide operating temperature range (-55 to 175 °C), a low coefficient of friction, and high resistance to chemicals and punctures. [7] Viton, another fluoropolymer with high chemical resistance, is widely used in hydraulic equipment. It is ...
