As aeroengine thrust-to-weight ratios continue to improve, the operating temperature of their hot-end components has risen ...

A ceramic-based mechanical pump developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, with help from engineers at Purdue and Stanford, can move high-temperature (1,400°C) liquids such as molten tin.

Therefore, the SiHfBCN ceramic coatings exhibiting typical semiconducting behavior highlights their potential as the thin-film electrode of SAW high-temperature sensors in high temperature extreme ...

UDRI Advanced High-Temperature Materials researchers engage in the characterization, life prediction, and testing of ceramic and refractory materials. We can evaluate the strength, fracture, fatigue, ...

Ceramic Kiln Thermocouples for High Temperature - Ceramic thermocouples for furnaces, kilns and other elevated temperature applications - Types K and N with recrystallised Aluminous Porcelain sheaths, ...

It is used to bond high-temperature thermocouple housings used in furnaces, boiler, and stack applications to 3,200°F (1,760°C). Physical properties of the water-dispersible adhesive include a ...

No cracks: the ceramic welding system in action. (Courtesy: David Baillot/UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering) A low-power pulsed laser has been used to weld ceramic materials together in ...

“It’s the ultimate ceramic at high temperature.” For example, an airplane’s brakes—or a heat shield on a spacecraft—might use this material in different forms.

“However, in ceramic materials, it is difficult to nucleate dislocations at room temperature, as the fracture stress in ceramics is much less than the stress to nucleate dislocations at such ...
