  1. (a, b: column comparison). (a, b): The same letters indicate an insignificant difference among groups (p < 0.05). The a and b letters indicate the relationships between the three lines, where measurements based on thickness variations are specified. It does not specify the relationships among the groups in terms of heat or material differences
