Stock Number 003-003-01457-5 Foreword The National Standard Reference Data System was established in 1%3 for the purpose of promoting e critical evaluation and dissemination of numerical data of the physical sciences. The program is ordinated by the Office of Standard Reference Data of the National Bureau of Standards but involves the orts of many groups in universities, government laboratories, and private industry. The primary aim of program is to provide compilations of critically evaluated physical and chemical property data. These jles are published in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, in the NSRDS-NBS series of !e National Bureau of Standards, and through other appropriate channels. I The properties of commercial materials have thus far received very limited coverage in the NSRDS jogram. However, many other groups select and compile data on the properties of such materials for |rious purposes using different criteria of selection. Thus, identifying the best data source for a given i.rpose requires something much more detailed than ordinary bibliographic guides. This series is designed to provide such guides to data covering selected areas of materials and I operties. The first survey covered mechanical properties of metals. This second survey relates to sources |r properties of ceramics. Other properties of metals and various properties of other materials will be 1 vered bv succeeding surveys. In each case, we will seek guidance from specialists with emphasis on those jvolved in the production and use of important commercial materials. The assistance for this ceramics rvev was provided by a special task force organized by the American Ceramic Society.

  • Niobium As Mint Metal: Production – Properties - Processing
    212 RM 21 R. Grill, A. Gnadenberger Niobium As Mint Metal: Production – Properties - Processing Robert Grill 1, Alfred Gnadenberger ² 1 Plansee Aktiengesellschaft, A-6600 Reutte, ² Münze Österreich, A-1031 Wien Summary For application as coin metal the used materials must be able to meet the demands in a wide range. This paper describes the selection criteria’s for coin metals and gives an overview about the quality and production requirements needed for special collector coins. Niobium was selected as core metal for a special 25 Euro bi-metallic coin collectors series issued by the Austrian Mint. As counterpart Silver is used as surrounding metal. A special feature of this bi-metallic coin is the use of coloured Niobium inserts. The combination of these materials with distinct different material properties, especially the deformation behaviour, and the use of the coloured Niobium insert makes an adaptation of production parameters and manufacturing philosophy necessary. Beside a general overview about the properties and applications of Niobium the paper describes the experience made during production of the bi-metallic coins. Keywords Niobium, properties, surface treatment, bi-metallic coin R. Grill, A. Gnadenberger RM 21 213 1. Introduction In the mid-term idea store of the Austrian Mint the issue of a collector’s coin on the occasion of the 700 years anniversary of the city Hall / Tyrol was foreseen. The special commemorative coin should be a continuation of the so called “25 Euro Millennium Coin” series, which was started with the material combination Ag/Ti, focusing on telecommunication and mobility published in 2000 and 2001 respectively.

Received: 15 October 2019; Accepted: 14 November 2019; Published: 17 November 2019 Abstract: In this study, a single firing was used to convert stabilized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers and ceramic forming materials (kaolin, feldspar, and quartz) into carbon fiber/ceramic composites. For the first time, PAN carbonization and ceramic sintering were achieved simultaneously in one thermal cycle and the microscopic morphologies and physical features of the obtained carbon fiber/ceramic composites were characterized in detail. The obtained carbon fiber/ceramic composite showed comparable flexural strength as commercial ceramic tiles. Meanwhile, the composite showed exceptional electro-thermal performance based on the electro-thermal performance of the carbonized PAN fibers, which could reach 108 °C after 15 s, 204 °C after 90 s, and 292 °C after 450 s at 5 V (2.6 A), thereby making the ceramic composite a good candidate as an indoor climate control heater, defogger device, kettle, and other heating element.

  • Ceramic Carbides: the Tough Guys of the Materials World
    Ceramic Carbides: The Tough Guys of the Materials World by Paul Everitt and Ian Doggett, Technical Specialists, Goodfellow Ceramic and Glass Division c/o Goodfellow Corporation, Coraopolis, Pa. Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) are among the world’s hardest known materials and are used in a variety of demanding industrial applications, from blasting-equipment nozzles to space-based mirrors. But there is more to these “tough guys” of the materials world than hardness alone—these two ceramic carbides have a profile of properties that are valued in a wide range of applications and are worthy of consideration for new research and product design projects. Silicon Carbide Use of this high-density, high-strength material has evolved from mainly high-temperature applications to a host of engineering applications. Silicon carbide is characterized by: • High thermal conductivity • Low thermal expansion coefficient • Outstanding thermal shock resistance • Extreme hardness FIGURE 1: • Semiconductor properties Typical properties of silicon carbide • A refractive index greater than diamond (hot-pressed sheet) Chemical Resistance Although many people are familiar with the Acids, concentrated Good Acids, dilute Good general attributes of this advanced ceramic Alkalis Good-Poor (see Figure 1), an important and frequently Halogens Good-Poor overlooked consideration is that the properties Metals Fair of silicon carbide can be altered by varying the Electrical Properties final compaction method.

    Silicon Carbide: Synthesis and Properties 361 16X Silicon Carbide: Synthesis and Properties Houyem Abderrazak1 and Emna Selmane Bel Hadj Hmida2 1 Institut National de Recherche et d’Analyse Physico-Chimique, Pole Technologique Sidi Thabet, 2020, Tunisia 2 Institut Préparatoire Aux Etudes d’Ingénieurs El Manar 2092, Tunisia 1. Introduction Silicon carbide is an important non-oxide ceramic which has diverse industrial applications. In fact, it has exclusive properties such as high hardness and strength, chemical and thermal stability, high melting point, oxidation resistance, high erosion resistance, etc. All of these qualities make SiC a perfect candidate for high power, high temperature electronic devices as well as abrasion and cutting applications. Quite a lot of works were reported on SiC synthesis since the manufacturing process initiated by Acheson in 1892. In this chapter, a brief summary is given for the different SiC crystal structures and the most common encountered polytypes will be cited. We focus then on the various fabrication routes of SiC starting from the traditional Acheson process which led to a large extent into commercialization of silicon carbide. This process is based on a conventional carbothermal reduction method for the synthesis of SiC powders. Nevertheless, this process involves numerous steps, has an excessive demand for energy and provides rather poor quality materials. Several alternative methods have been previously reported for the SiC production. An overview of the most common used methods for SiC elaboration such as physical vapour deposition (PVT), chemical vapour deposition (CVD), sol-gel, liquid phase sintering (LPS) or mechanical alloying (MA) will be detailed. The resulting mechanical, structural and electrical properties of the fabricated SiC will be discussed as a function of the synthesis methods.

  • Patent Law Fundamentals for Innovators in the Ceramic and Glass Industry
    atents are an important class of Passet for any company. For a start- up company, its patent portfolio may be its most important asset. Despite their impor- tance, patents and the surrounding law may Patent law not be well understood by researchers and management. Therefore, they risk mak- ing decisions or taking actions that could fundamentals negatively impact their ability to pursue and obtain patent protection for their inventions. The best way for a company to avoid costly for innovators in mistakes at a critical juncture is to become better informed about the patent process and work closely with a patent attorney at all the ceramic and stages of an invention. Because of the significant changes wrought by the recent America Invents Act (AIA), it is more important than ever glass industry to take proactive, forward-looking measures to position inno- vations properly for the patent process. This article sets forth some fundamental principles regarding patents and the require- ments for obtaining patents, describes the types of patents relevant to the ceramic and glass industry, and briefly discusses By Steve Ritchey the significant changes in patent law from the AIA. What is a patent? In general, a patent is a grant of some privilege, property, or authority made by a government to one or more persons. In the United States, Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution provides Congress the power to “promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their Part one of a two-part series presents the importance of respective Writings and Discoveries.” patents to companies and the requirements that must be met The patent and copyright clause of the Constitution was before patents are granted.
