High temperature ceramic

Superconductivity The physical state in which all resistance to the flow of direct-current electricity disappears is defined as superconductivity. The Bardeen-Cooper-Schriefer (BCS) theoiy has been reasonably successful in accounting for most of the basic features observed of the superconducting state for low-temperature superconductors (LTS) operating below 23 K. The advent of the ceramic high-temperature superconductors (HTS) by Bednorz and Miller (Z. Phys. B64, 189, 1989) has called for modifications to existing theories which have not been finahzed to date. The massive interest in the new superconductors that can be cooled with liquid nitrogen is just now beginning to make its way into new applications.

In all ceramic high-temperature (HT) SOFC systems, LaCr(Mg)O3 and La(Ca)CrO3 are the interconnect materials used. The disadvantages of this include an expensive manufacturing route and a poor ability to withstand rapid temperature changes. Ferritic stainless steel can be used in IT SOFCs (see Figure 12.9).

At reduced pressures in these systems, natural circulation may not be sufficient for adequate heat removal. This leads to the use of ceramic high-temperature materials in Generation IV designs to further substantiate the licensing case for GFRs (Waltar et al., 2012 Weaver, 2005). 

High-Temperature Ceramics High temperatures are involved in processes such as metal smelting, glass production, petroleum refining, and energy conversion. 

Process Industries Furnaces used for the fabrication of spark plug insulators, catalyst supports for automobile emission control systems, dinnerware, magnetic ceramics, and electrical ceramics are lined with ceramics. Ceramic high-temperature furnace linings and thermal insulation are used in petroleum and chemical processing, cement production, heat treatments, and paper production. 

Often, ceramic materials experience creep deformation as a result of exposure to stresses (usually compressive) at elevated temperatures. In general, the time-deformation creep behavior of ceramics is similar to that of metals (Section 8.12) however, creep occurs at higher temperatures in ceramics. High-temperature compressive creep tests are conducted on ceramic materials to ascertain creep deformation as a fimction of temperature and stress level.

In the present study, a current-activated pressure-assisted densification method was used to fabricate a dense zirconia - spinel ceramic. High temperature mechanical testing as well as microstructural examinations were conducted to investigate the deformation behavior of the nanocomposite produced by this method.
