1 By comparison, machine shops also cut metal, but they are more concerned with the machining of parts on machine tools. 2  Firms that encompass both fab work and machining are also common. 3  Blacksmithing has always involved fabrication, although it was not always called by that name.
When water is in its solid state (ice) , the water molecules are packed close together preventing it from changing shape. Ice has a very regular pattern with the molecules rigidly apart from one another connected by the hydrogen bonds that form a crystalline lattice.
As a sublimating material changes from a solid to a gas, it never passes through the liquid state. This image shows water in its three forms: ice, water, and steam. Sublimation is just one of the ways water or another substance can change between its potential phases.
