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...
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...
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...
