A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of
components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including …

High entropy carbide ceramics (HECC) are solid solution of inorganic compounds with five
or more principal metal cations. Research interests in HECC are dramatically sparked by the …

WC-Co alloys have enjoyed great practical significance owing to their excellent properties
during the past decades. Despite the advantages, however, recently there have been …

Bioceramics are widely considered as elective materials for the regeneration of bone tissue,
due to their compositional mimicry with bone inorganic components. However, they are …

The aim of this study was to investigate the hybrid effects of ZrO2 nanoparticles (nano-ZrO2)
and aluminum borate whiskers (ABWs) on flexural strength and surface hardness of denture …

SiC whisker-reinforced ZrO 2 composite is prepared by flash sintering. The density of the
composite obtained at the optimal conditions is close to the theoretical value. SEM …

The aim of this investigation was to study the variability in compressive strength, fracture
toughness and microhardness applying the well-known Weibull statistics and to be able to …

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of denture
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) reinforced with aluminum borate whiskers (ABWs). To …

This chapter presents a brief discussion on the basic concepts of composite materials and
the corresponding toughening mechanisms. The chapter begins with a basic definition of …

A dense and uniform c-AlPO 4 and SiC whisker co-modified mullite coating was successfully
prepared on SiC-coated C/SiC composites with a thickness of about 70 μm by hydrothermal …
