Filament winding is an automated process used to manufacture composite materials, using glass, carbon, or aramid fibers wound around a mandrel and coated with resin. The arrangement of fibers affects the material’s compressive and tensile strength, and the resulting high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for aeronautical and industrial products. Filament winding is a technique […]
Tungsten filament is a thin wire that glows brightly when an electric current is passed through it, making it useful for incandescent light bulbs. Tungsten is also used in military applications and jewelry. Thomas Edison’s General Electric company developed a process to make pure tungsten flexible enough to be drawn into a coiled wire, which […]
