Profiles
in Ceramics: Viktor Schreckengost
Cleveland artist/sculptor, Viktor Schreckengost is internationally recognized
for the beauty of his sculpted art and the functionality of his industrial designs. Kathy L. Woodard
Ceramics Corridor: A Secret No More
Every industrial cluster owes its existence to a raw material. So it is with
New York's Ceramics Corridor. Easily mined shale deposits, the birth of the New
York State College of Ceramics and the glass-related wizardry of Corning Inc.
have placed this region on its way as an advanced materials cluster. E. Peterson
CRADA Develops Model for Powder Pressing and Die Design: Part One
Results of a cooperative R&D agreement, focused specifically on developing
and implementing a predictive model for powder compaction, clearly confirms that
the model developed can be successfully used to predict green density distribution
in a complex geometry production part. K.G. Ewsuk, J.G. Arguello, D.H. Zeuch, B. Farber, L. Carinci, J. Kaniuk, J.
Keller, C. Cloutier, B. Gold, R.B. Cass, J.D. French, B. Dinger and W. Blumenthal
Design Optimization of Metal-to-Ceramic Joints
Finite element stress analysis was linked with probabilistic failure analysis
of brittle materials to evaluate the robustness of a given joint design. J.H. Selverian
Whiteware Bodies with Low Deformation Characteristics
Addition of a ZnO-containing glaze to a conventional hard porcelain batch formation
resulted in early densification of the material and considerable widening in
the maturing-temperature range. D.U. Tulyaganov, J. López-Cuevas, J. Méndez-Nonell, and A.A. Ismatov
Using Carbonated Steelmaking Slag Blocks to Help Reduce CO2
A new technique has been developed to produce 1-m³ carbonated steelmaking slag
blocks that are unaffected by further carbonation and/or hydration after hardening. T. Isoo, T. Takahashi, and M. Fukuhara
