Transition-Metal Carbides Could Create Tougher Ductile Ceramics for Use in Spacecraft Technology

Materials scientists from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have discovered new methods to produce highly strong ceramics with properties such as outstanding hardness, capacity to resist very high temperatures and better corrosion resistance than metals, and still possess the ability to be ductile i.e. deform or dent without fracturing - basically, a ceramic that can bend but not break.
