    Reflective Foil - Hight Temp

    Does anyone know if there is a thin foil on the market (similar to aluminum foil except obviously not made from aluminum) that is highly reflective that could help block heat transfer by radiation, but that can also withstand the heat of an aluminum casting process (1000+ degrees F) I haven't...

    Blocking Radiation

    Hi, I am making a heat shield to block unwanted waste heat from radiation. It is for an aluminum casting process. The shield is currently a sandwich of stainless steel plates with insulation board in between. Does anyone know anything else I can alter on the shield to help reflect/block the...

    Oxidizing Stainless Steel

    Hey yeah my mind was somewhere else this morning. I actually want a lower emissivity, obviously, (to block the radiation) so forget about previous question. Thanks for the response.

    Oxidizing Stainless Steel

    Hi, I was wondering if it were possible to effectively oxidize stainless steel for the purpose of blocking thermal radiation. (I had heard that oxidizing a material increases its surface emmissivity) Is this worth trying or a waste of time? Anybody have any other ideas about blocking high-temp...

    Orienting 3D Block with UCS

    Hello, I recently imported a 3D .igs part file into AutoCAD and am trying to create drafting views of it so I can dimension it. I currently have it saved as a block and have tried to square it up to the coordinate system since after I imported it, it was not parallel to any of the WCS axes...

    Try Deriving Assembly: Drops Components, Get Error

    Hi, I just started using inventor and am trying to derive an assembly. When I try to derive it, only the base component is now visible and i get a "Modeling failure while trimming and discarding faces," and a "Modeling failure while intersecting faces/edges (may be self intersecting?)." error...
