In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the lightweight materials of airplanes and rockets might soon be getting stronger. A new method for making ceramic materials — which ...

Powder properties in four phases (powder pretreatment, dispersion and mixing, molding, and sintering) typically impact the robustness of modern ceramic products. Particle size is the most important ...

In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...

Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...

For a long time, the production of ceramic coatings has only been possible by means of sintering techniques conducted at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. However, a novel spraying method, Powder ...

IN recent years much attention has been paid to the preparation of ‘active’ oxide powders by decomposition of compounds; the oxide powders obtained in this way are agglomerates of fine crystallites, ...

Few fasteners can beat threaded ceramics nuts and bolts when it comes to withstanding heat, pressure, and corrosive environments. Just don't torque them too tight. Back in the late 1980s, I had my ...

A new process for incorporating fortifying agents into ceramic could strengthen the materials used in aerospace engineering. In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the ...
