Improving Ceramic Armor with Media-Milled Nanoparticles
Harry Way
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.
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.
Boron Carbide—Aluminum and Boron Carbide—Titanium Boride—Aluminum Composites Reactively Bonded with Aluminum
V. Kevorkijan and S.D. Škapin
Reactive bonding of carbides and borides with in-situ-formed ALMgB14 to achieve excellent hardness, in combination with near-net shaping, is a promising new method of fabrication of complex structures for military and civilian applications.
