Environmental Stewardship Amid Rapid Growth at CoorsTek Gregg Walker Key investments allow customers to use ceramic components to increase
energy efficiencies, find new power sources, prevent spills and improve health
care. Balloting for ACerS board of directors and president-elect begins soon.
Improving Ceramic Armor with Media-Milled Nanoparticles
One company has developed a system for milling materials to nanoscale
for use in producing lighter and stronger ceramic defensive plates. Staying Ahead of Analytical Advances Laurel M. Sheppard Analytical equipment manufacturers continue to meet the demands of emerging technologies while making instruments easier to use. Exclusive Online Content
Scratching Behavior of Alumina-Zirconia and Alumina-Zirconia-Silicon Carbide Ceramic Composites S.H. Kenawy and
M.M. Mahmoud The addition of SiC particulates and 8 wt0/0 Zr02’ radically improves the wear resistance of hot-pressed Al203-Zr02 composites, but these composites have low coefficient of friction under applied load.
Aluminum Anodizing Sludge Used to Fabricate Engobes, Glazes and Frits M. Nuernberg
Sartor, S. Leite Correia, D. Hotza, A.M. Segadães, J.A. Labrincha and A.P.
Novaes de Oliveira The high Al203
content as well as its consistency and low particle size in sludge generated in
the aluminum anodizing process provide a great potential for this residue as a
secondary raw material for the fabrication of engobes, glazes and frits.
