(a) The dependence of packing density of binary powder mixture on the weight fraction of fine powder and the ratios of particle size, (b) illustration of particle stacking with 20 wt% of coarse powder ...

The porous (Ta0.2Nb0.2Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2)C high-entropy ceramic possesses interconnected microspheres, abundant interface in the microspheres, and the severe lattice distortion of the high-entropy ...

Exploiting the open, irregular structure of micro-porous ceramic, the MPCHS heat sinks provide a greater surface area to contact with the air compared to metal. The material structure, in turn, ...

Ceramics are lightweight and hard, but you can’t make jet engines out of them because they’d shatter like dinner plates. So, materials scientists have been trying to mimic natural materials that ...

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 ...

Although ceramics are known for being able to withstand high temperatures, they also have a reputation for being brittle – they typically shatter when deformed. That's not the case, however, with a ...

A job shop with a standard capability in CNC machining can produce precision ceramic parts if it chooses the materials properly and approaches the process carefully. Many shops struggle to offset the ...
