Form

Material forms play an important role in determining the functionality, appearance and performance of materials in many industries. This page provides an insight into a selection of material forms and details their properties and applications from manufacturing to advanced technologies.

Stange:

• Description: Bars are solid, elongated structures with a uniform cross-section that provide strength and stability.
• Applications: They are used in construction, machine engineering and as raw material in multiple manufacturing processes.

Folie:

• Description: Films are thin layers of material that are engineered with varied properties for specific functions.
• Applications: They serve in packaging, insulation and as carrier materials in electronic devices.

Schaumstoff:

• Description: Foams consist of lightweight, porous structures that offer cushioning and insulating capabilities.
• Applications: They are employed in mattresses, seating cushions, building insulation and packaging material.

Granulat:

• Description: Granulates are small, irregularly shaped particles that exhibit reliable flow properties and ease of handling.
• Applications: They are used in pharmaceuticals, fertilisers and the manufacture of plastics.

Laminat:

• Description: Laminates consist of bonded layers that combine distinct properties to meet defined performance criteria.
• Applications: They are applied in work surfaces, flooring and printed circuit boards in electronics.

Maschenware:

• Description: Mesh comprises interlinked wires or fibres that form a flexible structure with apertures.
• Applications: It is used in filters, sieves, fences and as a support structure in industrial processes.

Puder:

• Description: Powders consist of fine particles that facilitate mixing, coating and serve as raw materials for production.
• Applications: They are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and additive manufacturing.

Stab:

• Description: Rods are solid, cylindrical structures with a consistent diameter that offer strength and stiffness.
• Applications: They are used in construction, support structures and as components in machinery.

Blech:

• Description: Sheets are thin, flat structures with a uniform thickness that serve as surface coverings or bases in production.
• Applications: They are used in roofing, packaging and as raw material in manufacturing.

Kugel:

• Description: Balls are three-dimensional, rounded objects that have a uniform shape and move with minimal resistance.
• Applications: They are used in bearings, ball valves and in ornamental devices.

Rohr:

• Description: Pipes are hollow cylinders that offer structural integrity and act as conduits for fluids or gases.
• Applications: They are used in plumbing, building components and as containers for fluids or gases.

Draht:

• Description: Wires are thin, elongated structures that possess high flexibility and electrical conductivity.
• Applications: They are used in electrical wiring, fencing and as parts in various mechanical systems.

Blech:

• Description: Sheets in this context are stiff, flat structures with variable thickness that offer support or serve as surface layers.
• Applications: They are used for structural support, armour plating and as components in machinery.

Zersetzungsmaterial:

• Description: Decomposable materials undergo chemical changes under defined conditions, thereby releasing specific substances.
• Applications: They are used in pyrotechnics, propellants and controlled-release technologies.
