Ceramic wire

Evetts also tells a story that underlines the highly competitive nature of the ceramic wire business. Within days of the filing of one of his patents, a Japanese trading com-... 

But wire, monoliths, cables, and coils are not the only shapes of interest to materials scientists trying to shape the new superconductors into some useful form. Thin films, the form that the ceramic oxides would take in advanced computers and a host of electronic devices, are actually further along than the ceramic wire and indeed may be the very first of the new superconductors to see a practical application.

PI has began to be applied to multi chip module, which can reduce the machine cycle of computer. Cross section of tjpical MCM is shown in Fig. 11 (12). 5 layers of metallization insulated by 15 to 20 ju.m thick PI film is formed on ceramic wiring board. Table 9 is the results of the evaluation of various Pis for MCM (13). Among them, low stress PI, namely low thermal expansion PI, seems to be best balanced except for adhesion and planarity. In the following, recent works to improve these properties of low thermal expansion PI will be introduced. 

Rejects and Sludge Handling. Sludge from water clarification contains water, inks and soHd pigments, dispersed adhesive particles, small plastic particles or wax, short cellulose fibers, paper filler and coating particles, and large soHd materials, eg, rocks, dirt, wire, ceramics, etc. 

The most widely used development in HTS wire production is tlie powder-in-tube procedure with BSCCO ceramic materials. In this procedure very fine HTS powder, placed inside of a hollow silver tube, is fused as the tube lengtn is mechanically increased to form a wire. Very high magnetic fields with this wire have been reported at 4 K however, the performance degrades substantially above 20 to 30 K. 

HTS materials, because of their ceramic nature, are quite brittle. This has introduced problems relative to the winding of superconducting magnets. One solution is to first wind the magnet with the powder-in-tube wire before the ceramic powder has been bonded and then heat treat the desired configuration to form the final product. Another solution is to form the superconductor into such fine fila-... 

External-Cake Tubular Filters Several filter designs are available with vertical tubes supported by a filtrate-chamber tube sheet in a vertical cylindrical vessel (Fig. 18-115). The tubes may be made of wire cloth porous ceramic, carbon, plastic, or metal or closely wound wire. The tubes may have a filter cloth on the outside. Frequently a filter-aid precoat will be applied to the tubes. The prefilt slurry is fed near the bottom of the vertical vessel. The filtrate passes from the outside to the inside of the tubes and into a filtrate chamber at the top or the bottom of the vessel. The sohds form a cake on the outside ofthe tubes with the filter area actually increasing as the cake builds up, partially compensating for the increased flow resistance of the thicker cake. The filtration cycle continues until the differential pressure reaches a specified level, or until about 25 mm (1 in) of cake thickness is obtainea... 

Surface media Captures particles on the upstream surface with efficiencies in excess of depth media, sometimes close to 100% with minimal or no off-loading. Commonly rated according to the smallest particle the media can repeatedly capture. Examples of surface media include ceramic media, microporous membranes, synthetic woven screening media and in certain cases, wire cloth. The media characteristically has a narrow pore size distribution.
