This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...
CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...
Smooth and dense SiHfBCN ceramic coating via the PDC approach was fabricated successfully and the performance was systematically studied. The composition shows interesting microstructural evolution ...
Dynamic Systems Inc. launches UHTC system for high-temperature testing of non-conductive materials, collaborating with The University of Alabama. Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI), a subsidiary of Vishay ...
High-temperature ceramic matrix composites represent a critical class of materials engineered to withstand extreme thermal, mechanical and chemical stresses. These composites integrate ...
A few years ago, after more than 25 years of working with these things, I learned something new about ceramic capacitors. I was working on an LED light-bulb driver and the time constant of an RC ...
Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...
A strategy of multiscale collaborative design which combines high-entropy effect, dual-phase composition, highly porous structure and foam-gelcasting-freeze drying technique leads to uniform element ...
