Ceramics often have microstructure and grain sizes that affect material performance. It is possible to optimize microstructure and grain boundaries with ceramic processing parameters for specific ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

Ceramic processing -- General influence of microstructure on ceramic properties -- Techniques for characterizing ceramic microstructures -- Preparation of ceramic samples for microscopy -- Structural ...

High-entropy alloys are a promising class of novel engineering materials that potentially possess improved specific strength, corrosion resistance, and fracture toughness when compared to existing ...

Materials scientists have been enchanted by the search for new materials that exceed the temperature capability of Ni-based superalloys for many decades. High melting point and solidus temperatures ...

Developing ceramics with tailored geometries has long been a challenge. Achieving that kind of customization would allow materials to be designed with specific shapes and structures that make them ...

Over the past half century ceramics have received significant attention as candidate materials for use as structural materials under conditions of high loading rates, high temperature, wear, and ...
