    Teflon coating or alternative

    the problem with teflon is it does not stick to anything very well and it requires a bonding agent. its this agent you need to inspect. tungsten disulphid may be an alternative. it can take the head better than the teflon and does not require a bonding agent. also an inert material so your safe...

    Coefficients of Friction for rubber and polymers

    coat your materials with a dry lube. say MoS2 or WS2. They are cheap and wont rub off.

    Insulated panels to absorb and retain IR heat

    Water has the highest thermal capacity without getting into exotic materials. Black carbon will trap the IR energy the best. Copper is a great thermal conductor. I would suggest a flat water filled copper tank coated with black carbon. You can have the black carbon impinged into the copper. Use...

    Aluminum surface 6061 T6 moon craters?

    maybe its in the coolant your using causing an oxidation pattern when drying on the material. you could also try changing supplier for the material.

    Thermal conductivity of 304 vs 316

    thanks for the tips to both... I know I was ok with the vapor issue, just trying to be as optimal as possible. (maybe too picky) Energy consumption is going to be an issue with heating the ovens and the duration of vacuum pumping. This will be a mobile lab and will be running off batteries...

    Nickel recycling problem

    I used to manage a scrap yard and my advice is to desolder with acetaline torch. Then while still hot enough to keep the solder wet, drop them on concrete floor. Jusr be carefull of the solder splatter... You will not hurt the nickle.

    Thermal conductivity of 304 vs 316

    I am looking for the thermal conductivity values for 304 and 316 ss. Google was no help. Also need to know which meterial is more resistant to absorbing water vapor. This will be used in a vacuum oven up to 29 in/HG. TIA
