  2. Vacuum forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_forming

    A simple visualization of the forming process Vacuum forming machine to produce inner liner/food liner of refrigerator. Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming, where a sheet of plastic in various forms of High Impact Polystyrene Sheet (HIPS) for low impact products, or ABS for bathroom shower trays, and HDPE for exterior vehicle parts, plus various other types of vacuum ...

  3. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

    PVD process flow diagram. Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from ...

  4. Superplastic forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superplastic_forming

    For titanium alloys e.g. Ti 6Al 4V and some stainless steels this is around 900 °C (1,650 °F) and for aluminium alloys e.g. AA5083 it is between 450 and 520 °C. In this state the material becomes soft so processes that are usually used on plastics can be applied, such as: thermoforming, blow forming, and vacuum forming. [1]

  5. Ion pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_pump

    Some species, such as carbon monoxide, will chemically bind to the surface of a cathode material. Others, such as hydrogen, will diffuse into the metallic structure. In the former example, the pump rate can drop as the cathode material becomes coated. In the latter, the rate remains fixed by the rate at which the hydrogen diffuses.

  6. Evaporation (deposition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation_(deposition)

    (By contrast, in the boiling pot example, the water vapor pushes the air out of the pot before it can reach the lid.) At a typical pressure of 10 −4 Pa, a 0.4-nm particle has a mean free path of 60 m. Hot objects in the evaporation chamber, such as heating filaments, produce unwanted vapors that limit the quality of the vacuum.

  7. File:Vacuum Insulated Evaporator diagram.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vacuum_Insulated...

    English: Diagram of a vacuum insulated evaporator. No refrigeration unit is needed for the storage vessel because the liquid oxygen remains cold due to the efficiency of the vacuum container and the loss of latent heat as oxygen vaporizes.

  8. Chemical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_vapor_deposition

    The use of catalyst is viable in changing the physical process of graphene production. Notable examples include iron nanoparticles, nickel foam, and gallium vapor. These catalysts can either be used in situ during graphene buildup, [23] [27] or situated at some distance away at the deposition area. [28]

  9. Vacuum flask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_flask

    A vacuum flask (also known as a Dewar flask, Dewar bottle or thermos) is an insulating storage vessel that slows the speed at which its contents change in temperature. It greatly lengthens the time over which its contents remain hotter or cooler than the flask's surroundings by trying to be as adiabatic as possible.
