Chapter 13 Flashcards
What are 8 types of Ceramic materials?
1) Glasses (optical, composite)
2) Clay Products (whiteware)
3) Refractories (bricks for high temp)
4) Abrasives (sandpaper, cut, polish)
5) Cements (composites)
6) Ceramic Biomaterials (implants)
7) Carbon (abrasives, composites)
8) Advanced Ceramics (engine rotors, valves, bearings, sensors)
What are die blanks (or blanking die)?
A blanking die produces a flat piece of material by cutting the desired shape in one operation.
What are ceramic tools used for?
Grinding glass, tungsten, carbide, and ceramics. For cutting Si wafers and oil drilling.
What are materials used for ceramic tools?
Manufactured single crystal or polycrystalline diamonds in a metal or resin matrix.
What are refractory materials?
Materials that are to be used at high temperature.
What are advanced ceramics advantages?
Operate at high temp, low frictional loss, operate without a cooling system, lower weights than current engines.
What are advanced ceramics disadvantages?
Ceramic materials are brittle, difficult to remove internal voids (that weaken structures), ceramic parts are difficult to form and machine.
What is Fullerenes?
Spherical cluster of 60 carbon atoms, C_60 (Like a soccer ball).
What is carbon nanotubes?
Sheet of graphite rolled into a tube, ends capped with fullerene hemisphere.
What is Graphene?
Single-atomic-layer of graphite, composed of hexagonally sp^2 bonded carbon atoms.
What are the three ceramic fabrication methods?
Glass forming, particulate forming, cementation.
What is forms of glass forming?
Blowing of Glass bottles, Pressing, Fiber Drawing, Sheet forming.
What is Sheet Forming?
Sheets are formed by floating the molten glass on a pool of molten tin.
What are the different types of particulate forming?
Hydro-plastic forming, slip casting, powder pressing.
What is process of Cementation?
Hardening of paste, formation of rigid structures having varied and complex shapes, finally hardening process.
