Hydrogen embrittlement is a loss of ductility caused by excessive hydrogen absorption, rendering the material brittle. This is because hydrogen atoms are substantially smaller than those that make up the deposited … Read more
PETG stands for polyethylene terephthalate modified with glycol. Conversely, PLA, also known as polylactic acid or polylactide, is a thermoplastic made of lactic acid. Polyesters include both types of materials. … Read more
Toughness is a quality that allows a material to sustain impact loading without fracture. The harder material can withstand greater strain without breakage. Toughness measures a material’s resistance to fracture while … Read more
PLA and PLA+ are the commonly used terminology in the context of 3D printing and manufacturing. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources, typically corn starch … Read more
The stress at which a material starts to undergo plastic deformation instead of elastic deformation is known as yield strength. It is among the most crucial mechanical characteristics of a … Read more
Stress and strain are common terms in the field of engineering and material science. Stress is the amount of force per unit area that is applied to a material. It … Read more
A material’s ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often known as tensile strength, is the highest stress it can bear before breaking or collapsing under tension. Tensile strength is a synonym for … Read more
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) is an important characteristic of polymers, particularly those utilized in resin 3D printing and polymer additive manufacturing. It describes a polymer’s capacity to remain rigid or … Read more
The term “taper” indicates a geometric shape characterized by a gradual reduction in cross-sectional area. A tapered end is a frequent feature of machining tools, which facilitates tool changes. What … Read more
