Impact strength, construction materials

Both high and low temperatures have a tremendous effect on the physical properties of materials used to construct high pressure vessels. With regard to very low temperatures, the toughness and impact strength of most alloy steels decrease as the temperature is reduced and one has to choose the applied materials carefully to avoid embrittlement. At high temperatures, however, the... 

In industry, for almost a century these laminates are used for their electrical properties, impact strength, wearing qualities, chemical resistance, decorative panels, or other characteristics depending on laminate construction used with or without a surfacing material. They are used for printed circuit boards, electrical insulation, decorative...
