Gentelman,



Are plastic suitable for this group ?



Task for discuss before making. Scheme:

Goal: make PTFE foil as a sphere with good surface quality that means no scratches, any additional color (except native white) that would be a sign of degradation as a result of high temperature.



Any experience in plastic processing ? ______________________________________________________________________

I have no clue how to do this. Others may, so I will drop out of this part of the exchange and watch what others offer.

Good Luck, DoN.

I've got a couple ideas but I can't see your design on:

I'm on a PC so that may be the problem, or it may have moved.

Jim,

The default setting is "600" for privileges. I always changing the status before sending my usenet messages. I've found that this changes sometimes doesn't work. At this moment I don't know why. Chekcked this file and now it seems to work.

Few comments to this task - PTFE foil should be sticked to the alumin (AlCu6%). I think that I will use a sandblast inside the sphere. Do you use Ra roughness index too ? I need a rough surface and with few layers of PTFE this can be a problem.

The questions is - do the PTFE remain its high optical properties after sintering: clear white, crystalline structure etc. - just how it looks compared to the raw material you buying?

I can see it now, and realized I completely misunderstood what you were doing. Too technical for me.

Sorry
