FOUNDRY PRODUCTION
in the form of a rolled lattice with cells of regular hexagons. The thickness of these baffles is
determined by the possibility of replacing them with molten metal and by the feeding method.
Usually it is 5 mm or more. On the right, in Fig. 7, a curved mesh partition 2 is shown, resembling
in appearance the end of a nanotube, and the mesh tube itself is made in a shape close to a
cylinder.
If the folding of graphene-like flat elements is performed so that two partitions of each
hexagonal cell of hexagonal two-dimensional lattices are positioned perpendicular to the axis
around which the folding is performed, as shown in Fig. 7 (this axis runs horizontally along the
tube), then such a mesh tube design will be 1.5 times more tensile strength along this axis than
if two partitions of each cell are parallel to this axis [5].
Fig. 7. Part of the design of the model, made by analogy with the structure of carbon nanotubes, 1 - partition of cells -
regular hexagons, 2 - mesh partition (end) of the tube.
