  2. Ironing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironing

    Ironing is the use of an iron, usually heated, to remove wrinkles and unwanted creases from fabric. [1] The heating is commonly done to a temperature of 180–220 °C (360–430 °F), depending on the fabric. [2] Ironing works by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymer molecules in the fibres of the material. While the molecules are ...

  3. Heatsetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatsetting

    Heat setting is a term used in the textile industry to describe a thermal process usually taking place in either a steam atmosphere or a dry heat environment. The effect of the process gives fibers, yarns or fabric dimensional stability and, very often, other desirable attributes like higher volume, wrinkle resistance or temperature resistance.

  4. Clothes iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothes_iron

    A clothes iron (also flatiron, smoothing iron, dry iron, steam iron or simply iron) is a small appliance that, when heated, is used to press clothes to remove wrinkles and unwanted creases. Domestic irons generally range in operating temperature from between 121 °C (250 °F) to 182 °C (360 °F).

  5. Cricut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricut

    The original Cricut machine has cutting mats of 150 mm × 300 mm (6 in × 12 in), the larger Cricut Explore allows mats of 300 mm × 300 mm, and 300 mm × 610 mm (12 in × 12 in, and 12 in × 24 in). The largest machine will produce letters from a 13 to 597 mm (0.5 to 23.5 in) high.

  6. Forging temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forging_temperature

    Forging temperature is the temperature at which a metal becomes substantially more soft, but is lower than the melting temperature, such that it can be reshaped by forging. [1] Bringing a metal to its forging temperature allows the metal's shape to be changed by applying a relatively small force, without creating cracks.

  7. Seasoning (cookware) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning_(cookware)

    The temperature recommended for seasoning varies from high temperatures above 260 °C (500 °F) to temperatures below 150 °C (302 °F). Seasoning a cast-iron or carbon steel wok is a common process in Asia and Asian-American culture.

  8. Thermocompression bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocompression_bonding

    2. Typically, thermocompression bonds are made with delivering heat and pressure to the mating surface by a hard faced bonding tool. Compliant bonding [11] is a unique method of forming this type of solid state bond between a gold lead and a gold surface since heat and pressure is transmitted through a compliant or deformable media. The use of ...

  9. Hot-melt adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-melt_adhesive

    The bonding temperature is lower than with most other HMAs, only about 50 °C (122 °F) to 70 °C (158 °F), when the adhesive behaves as a soft rubber acting as a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The surface wetting in this amorphous state is good, and on cooling the polymer crystallizes, forming a strong flexible bond with high cohesion.
