What is the difference between yield stress and ultimate stress? Yield stress is the stress at which that the material deforms permanently, ultimate tensile stress is the stress at which it breaks. What happens to a material when it undergoes stress that exceeds its strength? For stresses beyond the elastic limit, a material exhibits plastic […]

Is Titanium better than tungsten?
Is Titanium better than tungsten? Hardness – Both titanium and tungsten carbide are considerably harder than precious metals like gold and platinum. However, tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials in existence and substantially harder than titanium, registering a 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness (compared to titanium’s score of 6). What […]

How is capillary effect affected by the contact angle?
How is capillary effect affected by the contact angle? Capillary action can also be to understood in terms of capillary pressure. Pcap = 2 γlv *cos(θ) / r. From this, we see that the lower the contact angle (the more hydrophilic the pore) the higher the capillary pressure and thus the the stronger the capillary […]
