A lambda sensor is an electronic device that monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas of an IC engine. It then adjusts the air-fuel mixture ratio of the engine through the ECU and completes proper combustion within. It maintains the efficient operation of your car. Let’s explore the lambda sensor. What is a Lambda Sensor? A lambda sensor, or oxygen sensor, is a sensing device used to monitor and measure the volume of oxygen in the exhaust gas of an IC engine. The sensor is set up in the exhaust line of your car or vehicle. The O₂ sensor […]

Choosing the crucible material will affect yield, purity, and long-term equipment performance. In this guide, you will learn how alumina vs boron nitride crucibles compare for real-world applications. You will see a comparison of the strengths, temperature ranges, chemical resistance, price, and sourcing tips. Want to know which crucible is the best for high temperatures? Let’s get started. Overview Of Crucible Materials I worked in a lab ramping alumina up to 1600 °C every day. The ceramic parts were exposed to critical heat rates and lasted six months. A reactive alloy pour was poured in the same lab using BN. […]

Alumina rings are preferred in your electrical, mechanical, and chemical applications due to their outstanding properties. Your alumina ring provides exceptional electrical insulation, hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. What is Alumina Oxide Ring? Alumina ceramic rings are dense, strong, and durable circular components made from alumina oxide (Al2O3). Through advanced forming and sintering processes, your rings achieve a consistent alumina density 3.99 g/cm3 and precise ISO 3290-1 tolerances. 6 Outstanding Alumina Ceramic Properties Your high-temperature, wear-critical application benefits from the following characteristics of alumina rings: 1. High Hardness Your alumina ceramic materials rank 9 on the Mohs […]

Source: Unsplash.com Boron nitride nanosheets are an emerging technology that combats corrosion from the atomic level. A one-atom-thick material, approximately 10,000 times thinner than human hair, that effectively protects your equipment surfaces from corrosion! The boron nitride nanomaterial comes with strong thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and high temperature resistance. BNNs won’t break at extreme mechanical stresses, have high thermal integrity, and chemical inertness. In this guide, we’ll unravel the properties of BNNs and explain why the nanomaterial should be part of your anti-corrosion arsenal. We also analyze a case study of BNNs when deposited on mild steel. Later on, we […]

You probably think that auto parts cannot withstand extreme heat. However, the idea changed after we started working with zirconia ceramics in the automotive field. These components boost your engine life by 40-60% and improve your fuel efficiency 15-25% over conventional metal components. 1. What Is Zirconia, And Why Should You Care? Zirconia (scientists call it zirconium oxide (ZrO2)) is a super strong ceramic that can help your engine withstand extreme heat and pressure. Most ceramics are easily cracked, but your zirconia components resist fracturing under stress. Safety Notice: While zirconia is an electrical insulator with extremely low electronic conductivity […]

Car oxygen sensors control emissions, fuel efficiency, and your engine performance. Their numbers vary based on your vehicle’s model, make, year, and type of engine. Most 4-cylinder cars have 2 oxygen sensors, while V6 and V8 models often feature 4 sensors. What Are O2 sensors in Your Car? Oxygen sensors (O2 sensors) are electronic devices in the exhaust system of your car that gauge oxygen concentration in exhaust gases. Sensors are now mandatory for your car to meet emission standards. The location and number of sensors in your car depend on the design of your engine and […]

You probably think all ceramic tube manufacturers are basically the same. Years ago I had the same belief until I witnessed my first tube disaster. Such costly breakdowns do not involve only the cost of replacement parts but closure of whole production lines. I will demonstrate to you precisely why some tubes have a shelf life of years and others break in weeks, and how to select suppliers that provide what they promise in performance. What I Learned From Watching Companies Waste Money on Bad Tubes When I first started working with alumina ceramic tubes 15 years ago, I made […]

INTRODUCTION Ceramic heaters are a breath of fresh air. They’re extremely good at absorbing and releasing heat and come in various types. Here, we will delve into the details of their working principle and use cases. What are Ceramic Heating Elements? Ceramic heating elements are a special kind of heating element made from advanced ceramic materials. Materials like zirconia (ZrO₂), silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), and alumina (Al₂O₃) make them display exceptional performance in heat conduction and electrical resistance. They’re well-built to comfortably resist electrical current and, in the process, release heat into the atmosphere. They conduct heat through a network of […]
