Alfred University offers MS and PhD degrees in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). The MS program emphasizes hands-on studies that enable graduates to readily move into careers ranging from ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

Compared to metal and polymer-based materials, ceramics can better withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, but their brittle nature often makes them susceptible to breakage. This ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue researchers have observed a way that the brittle nature of ceramics can be overcome as they sustain heavy loads, leading to more resilient structures such as aircraft ...

A team of four universities and three national laboratories, led by The University of Texas at Austin, developed a new ...

As the title suggests loose or embedded abrasive materials are employed to machine away small fragments of a material. In brittle materials such as engineering ceramics, hard abrasive grains are ...

New research shows that in the important ceramic material silicon carbide, carbon atoms collect at those grain boundaries when the material is exposed to radiation. The finding could help engineers ...

From ancient pottery to high-tech engineering, ceramics have come a long way. Can AI and new techniques finally make them ...

Our research in refractory ceramics encompasses developing new non-toxic materials for furnace linings for steel and other industrial manufacturing sectors and delving into the fundamental ...

Alfred University alumnus Sandwip Dey, M.S. ’80, PhD ’84, delivered the John F. McMahon Memorial Lecture on Thursday, Nov. 13 ...
