...techniques give better control of crystallinity and molecular orientation, which gives improved mechanical properties, clarity and barrier resistance. This in turn enables wall thicknesses to be reduced and lower grade materials to be used, with a consequent reduction in material costs. Design: Almost any shape of bottle or container, provided it has no handle. Sizes of...

...techniques, with large savings in weight and cost. Materials: Materials must have a clean, oxide-free surface, or an oxide that diffuses into the metals during bonding without affecting parent metals and bond strength, as is the case with titanium oxide. Although any materials with clean, “flat” surfaces are capable of diffusion bonding, the process has mainly been...

...technique that reshapes metals without physical contact. When an electric current generates pulsed opposing magnetic fields near the metal, a controllable pressure is created...Three main concepts [Images to demonstrate 'Magneform (electromagnetic assembly and forming)' - see article ] Bulging or expansion ring [Images to demonstrate 'Magneform (electromagnetic assembly...

...techniques that are at the core of applying mathematics. Students are expected to be familiar with standard mathematical notation and with elementary functions such as sines, cosines, logarithms and exponentials. Familiarity with algebra, calculus and complex numbers is also assumed. Second-order differential equations consists of material from MST224 Unit 3, Second-order...
