Dictionary

Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct or transfer thermal energy. It is determined by the thermal conductivity coefficient “k” and measured in watts per meter-Kelvin (W/m*k). In terms of materials, a distinction is made between materials with high thermal conductivity and insulating materials with low thermal conductivity. The parameter is very important for selecting the right material for the respective component in order to ensure optimum heat transfer or insulation.

The weldability of a material is its ability to be permanently joined by one of the welding processes. The material is particularly suitable if there are no subsequent restrictions in terms of mechanical or physical properties, especially at the weld seam. Many types of steel and aluminum, for example, are very suitable for welding as they have a favorable chemical composition as well as a good microstructure and thermal resistance. Good weldability is important for joining several components in the long term

Dictionary

Centrifugal force is an apparent force that occurs in a rotating system and acts outward. Centrifugal force occurs when a body moves with inertia in a circular orbit. In mechanical engineering and, for example, in the automotive industry, centrifugal force is measured when cornering or the functioning of centrifuges needs to be determined. It depends on the mass, the rotational speed, and the radius of the circular orbit.
