Ceramics Folio
Technical ceramics, also known as “high-performance” or “engineered” ceramics, are characterized by combinations of inorganic materials with physical and thermal properties that make them viable options for applications in which other materials (including conventional ceramics) aren’t feasible.
ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) brings together materials that normally do not combine well, allowing for new materials and production methods. The technique can reduce or eliminate solvents, or be a more effective mixer of slurries, as seen by HV Eshleman. RAM can also coat and mill particles, which can be important for new and developing materials. The resultant ceramics can be as hard as diamond, lighter than steel and more wear-resistant than titanium and formed into unique shapes perfect for industrial use. They can be made 10X-100X faster with RAM, without contamination risk.
These materials are also incredibly flexible and versatile, seeing a great deal of research and development for the future. ResonantAcoustic® mixing can be faster and more efficient than traditional mixing systems clogging the market. In one process, boron carbide(B4C) and titanium diboride (TiB2) powders were mixed to create a sintered product with a higher load bearing capacity than boron carbide alone. The article describing this accomplishment is included with others in the accompanying folio, along with various patents, all of which use RAM technology.
