General Information: Carbide Ceramics |
||
Extreme hardness. Very high wear resistant. Price largely depends on the geometry of the product but is approximately 5 or 10 times as high as steel. Carbides are typically brittle ceramic materials. As such they, unlike metals, show no significant ductility or 'graceful' failure mechanisms. The mechanical properties are strongly dependent on their surfaces and the presence of defects resulting from their finishing and handling. Production of ceramic articles start with fine powder which is given shape by various casting and pressing methods prior to sintering at approximately 0.7 of the melting temperature. |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
