Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...

Materials that can withstand very high temperatures well over 2000 degrees (up to 3000 degrees celsius) can enable hypersonic vehicle, better rockets, better reentry vehicles and other space and ...

CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

Having fabricated an exhaust system for the Purple Pig '49 Chevy project car from mild steel mandrel bends, it would have been a shame to leave it naked and susceptible to rust. Sure, I could have ...

Daniel Oropeza, an assistant professor of materials at UC Santa Barbara, has been selected as the 2024 recipient of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Early Career Faculty Initiative ...

Smooth and dense SiHfBCN ceramic coating via the PDC approach was fabricated successfully and the performance was systematically studied. The composition shows interesting microstructural evolution ...

Dynamic Systems Inc. launches UHTC system for high-temperature testing of non-conductive materials, collaborating with The University of Alabama. Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI), a subsidiary of Vishay ...

As aeroengine thrust-to-weight ratios continue to improve, the operating temperature of their hot-end components has risen steadily, placing stricter demands on the performance of temperature sensors.

High-temperature ceramic matrix composites represent a critical class of materials engineered to withstand extreme thermal, mechanical and chemical stresses. These composites integrate ...
