QSIL Acquires FCT Ingenieurkeramik GmbH
The Thuringian material specialist QSIL AG from Ilmenau/DE continues the strategic expansion of its technology and solution competence with the acquisition of FCT Ingenieurkeramik GmbH/DE.
Ceramic Materials in Rolling Contact Bearings: Silicon Nitride for Increased Applications
The rolling contact fatigue of silicon nitride is considerably stronger than that of steel. This makes hybrid bearings a preferred bearing, especially for machine tool spindle bearings, and for a lot of applications, as they show significantly better performance: higher spindle speed, reduced vibration level of the spindle, cooler spindle operation, improved spindle run-out, simplified … Read more
Development and Application of Electrically Conductive Ceramics
Hybrid ceramics which consist of an electrically isolating matrix (Al2O3 or Si3N4) and an electrically conductive minority phase (TiN) were investigated with respect to their suitability for electrical discharge machining EDM. The influence of concentration and particle size of the minority phase on the degree of percolation and the average size of electrically non-connected volumes … Read more
Additive Manufacturing of Functionalized Glass Components
Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes for polymers, ceramics and metals have become increasingly important in recent years for the manufacture of near-net-shape components. In contrast, the use of glass for this technology has so far only been studied in isolated cases. Processing of glasses as powders by established ceramic shaping technologies and new AM technologies offer … Read more
Precision Ceramics Introduces its Toughest Composite Yet
Dubbed “ceramic steel”, zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic materials offer a combination of high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance while still maintaining one of the highest figures for fracture toughness available.
CIM-Pro Prototypes in Ceramic Injection Moulding: Fast, Near-Series, Low-Cost
Near-series small or pilot series of CIM components in four weeks – Kläger/DE fabricates prototypes in injection moulding from rapid tools in the target material.
HIP – a Partner for MIM, SLS and AM Innovation in Hot Isostatic Presses HIP for Post-Compaction of Components Originally Formed from Metal Powders
Hot Isostatic Presses (HIP) are machines operated at high temperature and high pressure. Developed in the USA in the 1940s and 1950s for the production of nuclear fuel elements, they have evolved from specialised applications to become a standardised industrial process today. Almost 1000 such presses are in operation in various applications worldwide. In industrial … Read more
