  2. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

    Filler can have a negative or positive effect on fatigue resistance depending on the filler type and shape. In general fillers create small discontinuities in the matrix. This can contribute to crack initiation point. If the filler is brittle fatigue resistance will be low, whereas if the filler is very ductile the composite will be fatigue ...

  3. Polymer concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_concrete

    Polymer concrete is a type of concrete that uses a polymer to replace lime-type cements as a binder.One specific type is epoxy granite, where the polymer used is exclusively epoxy.

  4. Stone mastic asphalt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_mastic_asphalt

    Increased material cost associated with higher asphalt binder and filler contents, and fibre additive. Increased mixing time and time taken to add extra filler, may result in reduced productivity. Possible delays in opening to traffic as the SMA mix should be cooled to 40 °C to prevent flushing of the binder to the surface (bleeding).

  5. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    One takes great care to remove any surface defects in the metal, like pits, that could allow bacteria to grow. A #4 dairy or sanitary finish is produced by polishing with a 180–240 grit belt or wheel finish softened with 120–240 grit greaseless compound or a fine non woven abrasive belt or pad. #6 Finish. Also known as a fine satin finish.

  6. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    Concrete plants come in two main types, ready-mix plants and central mix plants. A ready-mix plant blends all of the solid ingredients, while a central mix does the same but adds water. A central-mix plant offers more precise control of the concrete quality. Central mix plants must be close to the work site where the concrete will be used ...

  7. Superfinishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfinishing

    Superfinishing, also known as microfinishing [1] and short-stroke honing, is a metalworking process that improves surface finish and workpiece geometry. This is achieved by removing just the thin amorphous surface layer of fragmented or smeared metal left by the last process with an abrasive stone or tape; this layer is usually about 1 μm in magnitude.

  8. Fuller's earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller's_earth

    The English name reflects the historical use of the material for fulling (cleaning and shrinking) wool, by textile workers known as fullers. [1] [2] [3] In past centuries, fullers kneaded fuller's earth and water into woollen cloth to absorb lanolin, oils, and other greasy impurities as part of the cloth finishing process.

  9. Grain filler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_filler

    A grain filler (pore filler or paste wood filler) is a woodworking product that is used to achieve a smooth-textured wood finish by filling pores in the wood grain.It is used particularly on open grained woods such as oak, mahogany and walnut where building up multiple layers of standard wood finish is ineffective or impractical.
