Then Joe Wells III, the president of Homer Laughlin, and Conley meet with Fiestaware's art director and chief ceramic engineer to discuss the pros (which colors are cheap) and cons (which glazes don't fire as consistently) of each shade under consideration.
The ACCIS is made from cobalt chromium alloy, but this design differs from other hip resurfacings by having titanium-niobium-nitride ceramic engineered surfaces to minimize wear, and to prevent corrosion and metal ion release.
Dr James Mueller, a ceramics engineer and strong influence on Dunbar, won a NASA research grant to design the ceramic heat shield tiles that would protect the Space Shuttle during re-entry into Earth?s atmosphere.
In this work, multilayered bismuth titanate ceramic tapes engineered by combining aqueous tape casting and laminating process were produced.
This can be tuned by increasing the bond thickness to achieve high structural integrity and moreover the ceramic is engineered into compressive pre-stress suitable for high performance micro-actuators.
That is the ceramic that nuclear engineers use for the "pebble bed" type of reactor: the ceramic wraps around the fuel so that it cannot get hot enough to melt, and the ceramic will not burn.
This paper experimentally investigates the compression and crushing behavior of engineered ceramic proppants and frac sand.
This has contributed to the development of new engineered ceramic filter media, as Derek French of Fairmount Water Solutions explains.
It is shown that a substantial enhancement of the electrocaloric (EC) effect can be achieved with a properly engineered, ceramic microstructure.
The mechanical performance of laser surface engineered ceramic composite (TiC/Al) coating on 2024 and 6061 Al alloy substrates has been evaluated using four-point bend test.
