In materials sintering is a crucial process used to produce ceramics, metals, and other advanced materials. Typically, during sintering, we expect the green body (unsintered compact) to become increasingly dense and hard over time. This is because, as sintering progresses, gases are expelled, and grains gradually coalesce, forming a tightly bonded structure. However, sometimes the…

Ceramic materials play a vital role in electronics, machinery, energy, and other fields due to their high-temperature resistance, strength, chemical stability, and multifunctionality. However, traditional pure ceramics often face performance limitations, making it challenging to meet the diverse and high-performance requirements of modern industry. In recent years, scientists have successfully achieved significant performance improvements through “doping”…

Silicon nitride ceramic balls are renowned for their exceptional mechanical properties, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make them vital components across various industries, including aerospace, electronics, and mechanical manufacturing. Achieving high-quality Si₃N₄ ceramic balls relies heavily on advanced forming techniques. In this blog, we will explore six commonly used molding methods—compression molding, isostatic pressing, injection…

Technical ceramics are advanced materials designed for high performance in demanding environments. These non-metallic, inorganic compounds offer exceptional properties like hardness, thermal stability, electrical insulation, and corrosion resistance. Widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and electronics, they enhance efficiency and durability in applications like engines, sensors, implants, and semiconductors. The forming processes…

In the diverse kingdom of material modification, where countless techniques vie for dominance, one reign has proven remarkably persistent and powerful: that of the silane coupling agent. While other methods come and go, silane coupling agents have cemented their sovereignty through a masterful act of molecular diplomacy. They serve as indispensable interpreters, facilitating robust and…

Imagine a world where the blazing speed of artificial intelligence (AI) chips is throttled not by computational limits, but by an invisible enemy: heat. As of 2025, AI accelerators are pushing power densities to unprecedented levels, exceeding 1 kW/cm² in some hotspots, generating enough thermal output to rival a small space heater crammed into a…
