How do ceramic materials perform against sliding, abrasive or impact wear?Ceramics are inherently very wear resistant due to their extreme hardness; these materials have values close to the hardest known material, diamond. They have also the capability to be machined...
The quest for achieving practical nuclear fusion has driven the exploration of various types of fusion, each offering a distinct methodology and holding its own promise for future energy production. At its core, nuclear fusion involves the merging of two light atomic...
How does quantity influence tooling costs and the ceramic manufacturing process?Quantity can be a game-changer in the ceramic manufacturing process. When you're making large quantities of ceramics, prices tend to drop, as with any other product. And that's when it...
What design and material considerations are there from an application and advanced ceramics manufacturing perspective?Whether you're manufacturing advanced ceramics, or any other material, defining what you need for the application is the crucial first step. You are...
When we think about ceramic materials, our first instinct might be to assume there is always excellent ceramic thermal insulation. However, the reality is that engineering ceramics come with a wide range of thermal conductivities, with the lowest and highest values...
