A novel casting technology that combines aerospace ceramic and automotive sand core processes to allow for precision casting of extremely small passages in automotive cast iron/steel components has ...

Cars, rockets, cell phones and many other items could soon be manufactured faster, greener, less expensively and with more precision than traditional methods thanks to a ceramic engineering company ...

Thixotropic casting involves vibratory casting of highly thixotropic slips of very high solids loadings that are fluid only under vibration, using porous or nonporous molds. It is quite different from ...

Particle size is the most important parameter in the production of ceramic products. The particle size must be optimised to ensure that the desired physical / mechanical properties are achieved. The ...

Here at Hackaday, we feature projects that are built of just about every material imaginable. Silicon-spangled fiber-reinforced epoxy resin is our primary medium, but we see plastic, wood, steel, ...

Freeze casting, also known as ice templating, is a versatile fabrication method that creates porous architectures through directional solidification of particle-laden suspensions. As the solvent ...

Aluminium matrix composites, which are a subclass of metal matrix composites, have characteristics including low density, high stiffness and strength, better wear resistance, controlled thermal ...
