Precision Ceramics Ltd has been a founder member of MICG since inception alongside other global… Continue Reading
The commercial use of fusion reactors is moving forward with critical research being carried out in the U.K. at the MAST (mega amp Spherical Tokamak). The research carried out here will be fed directly into the new giant ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) in France. The critical area for commercialising nuclear fusion as a low… Continue Reading
Over time, nuts & bolts have come to symbolise basic engineering, something that you can simply put together with a spanner. There are vast ranges of these fittings with different threads, lengths, heads and even materials – and there are so many! Walk into a hardware store or DIY Supermarket and you are spoilt for… Continue Reading
Following on from last week’s blog ‘Science & Extreme Research’, we had a lot of feedback from website visitors who were interested to know more but did not want a detailed science lecture/ So here goes … ITER is a machine, a Tokamak fusion reactor, where at extreme temperatures it recreates what is happening in… Continue Reading
When we look at some of the fundamental research in the world’s scientific community, it is truly mind-blowing. Not that we always understand the detail of what is being achieved but when, from the periphery, we supply ceramic components into some of these colossal projects, we have a vested interest and feel a part of… Continue Reading
The world has changed as we know it. The old fundamentals of supply chain, cost, just-in-time and volume have had to be re-focused for many industries. There are quite a number of ceramic companies who run business models where the high overheads and cost structures lend themselves to high volume production runs to utilise equipment, minimum… Continue Reading
Following a period of intense in-house development, Precision Ceramics has introduced a new ultra-high fracture toughness zirconia composite to its already wide and comprehensive portfolio of materials. Nicknamed ‘The Orange One’, CeramaZirc Ultra Tough is an advanced zirconia-based ceramic composite material based on partially stabilised zirconia and alumina platelets and is the latest and toughest… Continue Reading
