• Each application has its own specific needs, but all seals are characterized by tight dimensional tolerances and excellent surface finish. (performanceplastics.com)
  • The previous supplier of this component was unable to meet the more stringent sealing surface dimensional tolerances "out of the mold" necessitating a finish machining operation to bring the part into tolerance. (performanceplastics.com)
  • Performance Plastics was able to achieve "out of mold" net shape parts with a seal surface capable of meeting sealing ranges of 100 psi to 3,000 psi, with no porosity and consistently meeting dimensional tolerances of 0.0003 inches, or 7.62 ยต. (performanceplastics.com)
  • Constraining the position of the drill bit using a drill jig with drill bushings Surface finish produced by drilling may range from 32 to 500 microinches. (wikipedia.org)
  • Finish cuts will generate surfaces near 32 microinches, and roughing will be near 500 microinches. (wikipedia.org)
  • Cutting fluid is commonly used to cool the drill bit, increase tool life, increase speeds and feeds, increase the surface finish, and aid in ejecting chips. (wikipedia.org)
  • Other considerations are roundness and surface finish. (wikipedia.org)
  • The specific high density of tungsten has many uses, including life-saving radiation shielding, collimators and sputtering target material, and even military inertial weapons systems. (metalcutting.com)
  • Chips may form long spirals or small flakes, depending on the material, and process parameters. (wikipedia.org)
  • The type of chips formed can be an indicator of the machinability of the material, with long chips suggesting good material machinability. (wikipedia.org)
  • Tungsten has long served industry based on its unique properties - sometimes because of just one unique property, sometimes based on a combination. (metalcutting.com)
  • Although the material posed molding challenges, PPL decided to direct gate the part at the top to ensure symmetry of material flow throughout the cavity, critical in achieving roundness to the sealing surface. (performanceplastics.com)
  • It's because it has a unique range of properties that make tungsten wire irreplaceable (or nearly so) in a number of important products and industrial applications. (metalcutting.com)
  • Our proprietary tool design software, processes and equipment enable us to injection mold components having complex geometries made from challenging ultra, high-performance thermoplastic materials, and reinforced compounds. (performanceplastics.com)
  • Drilling may affect the mechanical properties of the workpiece by creating low residual stresses around the hole opening and a very thin layer of highly stressed and disturbed material on the newly formed surface. (wikipedia.org)
  • Aside from corrosion resistance, stainless steels are known for their excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, toughness, ductility, fatigue strength, and wear resistance. (iqsdirectory.com)
  • This causes the workpiece to become more susceptible to corrosion and crack propagation at the stressed surface. (wikipedia.org)
  • Corrosion resistance is the most valuable property of stainless steel. (iqsdirectory.com)
  • This element reacts with oxygen in air and water and forms a thin, stable chromium oxide film protecting the underlying metal surface. (iqsdirectory.com)
