2. Molykote
• Molykote coatings are anti-friction, lubricating paint-like
products that optimize friction by softening the roughness
of surfaces. They contain tiny particles of solid lubricants that
are distributed through resin blends and solvents.
3. Abrasion vs Erosion
• Wear by abrasion and erosionare forms of wear caused by
contact between a particle and solid material. Abrasive wear is
the loss of material by the passage of hard particles over a
surface. Erosive wear is caused by the impact of particles
against a solid surface.
4. Borosilicate glass
• Borosilicate glass is a type of glass that contains boron
trioxide which allows for a very low coefficient of thermal
expansion. This means it will not crack under extreme
temperature changes like regular glass. Its durability has made
it the glass of choice for high-end restaurants, laboratories and
wineries.
5. What is the process of tempering?
tempering, in metallurgy, process of improving the
characteristics of a metal, especially steel, by heating it to a
high temperature, though below the melting point, then
cooling it, usually in air. The process has the effect of
toughening by lessening brittleness and reducing internal
stresses
