  • The Nuts & Bolts of Ceramics

    The Nuts & Bolts of Ceramics

    When does a gimmick end up as a useful, saleable product? When designers and engineers see that it will solve a problem! That is just what happened when Ceramco made some nuts and bolts out of ceramic material (alumina) for promotional purposes. Seeing these nuts and bolts on display at an industry trade show, people …

  • Put an End to Diffusion Confusion

    Put an End to Diffusion Confusion

    Certain environments are particularly troublesome when it comes to choosing materials of construction. Think about processes – whether at ambient or elevated temperatures – where chemicals, pollutants, oxidation and ozone are an everyday occurrence. Add to this the need for “stripping” by way of gas diffusion processes and you have a real challenge on your …

  • Pores Without Holes

    Pores Without Holes

    How do you get a component with fine-sized pores that is resistant to molten Aluminum and won’t plug up? This is just the problem that plagues those who manufacture aluminum parts from molten aluminum, such as automotive wheel and structural component manufacturers. Part of the manufacturing process involves a degassing step which removes unwanted hydrogen …

  • A New Kind of Composite

    A New Kind of Composite

    Continuous processes always demand “extra” from the system’s components. Since the key is to run “continuously”, anything that can be done to reduce downtime and enhance productivity contributes to the bottom line. But what if your continuous process involves the need to assure a smooth even “flow” for hundreds of tons of molten steel through …
