(Research advances in fine ceramics)
The traveler attended both the International Forum on Fine Ceramics and the International Fine Ceramics Workshop in Nagoya, Japan. The Forum speakers presented overviews on research advances in the development of and the economics of electronics, ceramics, hard materials, and structural ceramics. The Workshop was devoted to presentations on recent research findings primarily on the mechanical behavior and processing of structural ceramics. The traveler presented two invited talks: one on the toughening behavior of whisker-reinforced ceramics, and one on mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. He also held separate discussions with researchers from Nippon Kokan K.K. (NKK) and Toshiba on their research on the properties of silicon nitride ceramics. These researchers and those of other Japanese laboratories have made excellent progress in developing silicon nitride ceramics with high fracture toughness/resistance which also appear to have promising properties at elevated temperatures.
