Ceramics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The glass is shaped when either fully molten, by casting, or when in a state of toffee-like viscosity, by methods such as blowing to a mould. Such ceramics are used as self-controlled heating elements in, for example, the rear-window defrost circuits of most automobiles. Most Hydroxyapatite ceramics are very porous and lack mechanical strength and are used to coat metal orthopedic devices to aid in forming a bond to bone or as bone fillers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ceramic   (2262 words)

Expert in: Glass and Ceramic Materials He is also experienced in other areas of glass and ceramic technology, including glass and ceramic fibers, glasses for high temperature lubrication, the viscometry and surface tension of molten glasses, slags, and noncrystalline structures, electrical properties of glasses, and phase equilibria in ceramic systems. Much of Professor Expert's career has been involved with glass, especially with the development and processing of new glass compositions with specific properties, the conversion of glass to crystalline material to form glass-ceramics with the attendant change in properties, and the drawing of glass into fibers and their subsequent use as reinforcing material. He was Chairman of the Ceramics Group of the Illinois Governors Commission on Science and Technology from 1986 to 1987. chemindustry.intota.com /viewbio.asp?bioID=604054&perID=107642   (505 words)

The Care and Preservation of Glass Glass and ceramic objects can be maintained for years of use and enjoyment provided that some basic care and attention is given to their preservation. The primary cause of damage to both glass and ceramic objects is mishandling. Glass can also be permanently damaged by lengthy exposure to acidic or alkaline conditions such as in the case of archaeological glass. www.thehenryford.org /explore/artifacts/glass.asp   (1619 words)

The American Ceramic Society - About Ceramics For example, borosilicate glasses (glasses that contain silica and boron as major ingredients) and certain glass ceramics (glasses that contain a crystalline phase) and NZP ceramics are very resistant to thermal shock and are used in applications such as ovenware, stove tops and kiln furniture respectively. Ceramics are one of the few materials that are durable and stable enough to withstand the corrosive effect of bodily fluids. Glass microspheres smaller than a human hair are being used to deliver large, localized amounts of radiation to diseased organs in the body. www.acers.org /acers/aboutceramics.asp?id=outreach   (2523 words)

Features Item: Glass and Ceramic Decorating Options Instead of printing directly to a glass or ceramic substrate, an image is printed either by the decorator or by a decal printer to ceramic decal paper, and then applied to the ware. UV inks are generally used to decorate glass containers that have been previously sprayed with a ceramic coating or frosted, and this technique is typically used when durability is not critical. Glass and ceramic manufacturers have a variety of options to consider when deciding how to decorate ware to create a desired appearance. www.ceramicindustry.com /CDA/ArticleInformation/features/BNP__Features__Item/0,2710,8117,00.html   (1751 words)

Articles - Glass-ceramic While materials such as "vaseline" glass are also glass-ceramics, the term mainly refers to a mix of lithium-, silicon-, and aluminium-oxides which yields an array of materials with interesting thermomechanical properties. Originally developed for use in the mirrors and mirror mounts of astronomical telescopes, these materials have become known and entered the domestic market through its use in glass-ceramic cooktops, as well as cookware and bakeware. It is formed as a glass, and then made to crystalize partly by heat treatment. www.hilore.com /articles/Glass-ceramic   (444 words)

Low-thermal-expansion glass ceramic The glass Ceramics are a group of materials optimized for use as mirror substrates. During the subsequent manufacturing stages, the glass blank was ground to its final weight of 23.5 tonnes. During the first cooling, the mold was spun where the glass gradually assumed the rough meniscus shape required for the mirror blank. astron.berkeley.edu /~jrg/MATERIALS/node9.html   (787 words)

Easy-to-clean glass or glass-ceramic cookware in the alkaline earth metal oxide-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -Sio field - Patent 4360567 The glasses set forth in the following table in terms of parts by weight were formed in the shape of poured or rolled plates which were transferred to an annealer operating at 830.degree.-850.degree. As illustrative of such properties, it may be noted that ZrO.sub.2 improves the chemical durability of the glasses, the alkali metal oxides improve the resistance to devitrification of the glasses, the iron sulfides or salts permit tinting of the glasses, and arsenic oxide, chlorides, and nitrates can be useful as fining agents. To insure better uniformity and homogeneity of the crystallization developed, it is preferable to utilize a two-step thermal treatment, viz., an initial exposure of a glass to induce nucleation followed by a treatment to cause growth of crystals on the nuclei. www.freepatentsonline.com /4360567.html   (4364 words)

New Materials Japan: Low melting point glass and glass-ceramic composition.@ HighBeam Research The low melting point glass has been used to produce a glass ceramic composition, which is useful for sealing cathode ray tubes or even flat panel displays such as a plasma display panels (PDP) or vacuum fluorescent displays (VFD). Previously a lead based glass has been used for this; however, this has caused problems since this glass does not match the expansion coefficient of the glass used to produce the panel or funnel of the cathode ray tube, PDP or VFD. The Asahi Glass Company has developed a low melting point glass which contains no lead oxide. www.highbeam.com /library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1G1:84221797&refid=ip_encyclopedia_hf   (215 words)

Ceramic Bulletin A suitable balance of slag and fly ash resulted in chemically stable glasses with typical characteristics for the preparation of sintered glass-ceramics. Binary ceramic composite bodies with uniform microstructure were cast from codispersed silica—alumina slurries that had various relative volume fractions of silica and alumina. A vertical all-electric melter cannot be used to melt green glass at the same pull level as flint glass because sensitive redox reactions require higher temperatures in the batch layer. www.ceramicbulletin.org /current.asp   (311 words)

Dirty Art - DirtyArt.com The process of making ceramic ware on the potter's wheel is called "throwing" or "turning." A ball of clay is placed in the center of a turntable, called the wheel head, which is turned chiefly using foot power (a kick wheel or treadle wheel) or a variable speed electric motor. Complex extremely high-fired ceramics, where the glaze and body fuse completely, are generally referred to as "products of ceramic technology." Ceramic technology is used for items such as electronic parts and Space Shuttle tiles. Pottery is a form of ceramic technology, where the clay is formed into vessels, generally with utilitarian purposes in mind. dirtyart.com   (3067 words)
