Silicon is synthesized commercially by heating carbon and silica in an electric furnace, using carbon electrodes.
Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2), a refractory metal silicide, is mainly used as a heating element and has been recognized as a potential structural ceramic
The lack of a fully developed, commercially viable sintering process has limited the use of zirconium carbide (ZrC) in engineering applications.
Materials based on silicon carbide are generally employed for their good wear resistance and thermomechanical properties.
Smart materials are an interesting field that is growing quickly, and shape memory alloys (SMAs) are one such materials that represent one of the most exciting areas.
Hot-dip galvanizing can have some major impact on the performance or properties of mild steels that are produced using traditional methods.
Monolithic refractory refers to all unshaped refractory products. The word “monolithic” is derived from the word monolith meaning “big stone".
