New book “Recent Advances in Porous Ceramics” already published under my editorship
Posted on October 17, 2018 ·
Dear Prof./ Dr/Researcher
The book under title “Recent Advances in Porous Ceramics” already published open access in the IntechOpen website address. The book related on the porous ceramic materials. The introduction of this book as follows:
Porous ceramics have recently gained growing importance in industry because of their many applications like filters, absorbers, dust collectors, thermal insulation, hot gas collectors, dielectric resonators, bioreactors, bone replacement and automobile engine components. Generally, porous ceramics have good properties such as mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical and thermal stability. These porous network ceramic structures also have relatively low density, low mass and low thermal conductivity. Furthermore, permeability is one of the most important properties of porous ceramics for different applications such as membranes because this property directly relates to the pressure drop during filtration. Pore size control is one key factor in fabrication of porous ceramics. The size of particles and their distribution of the raw materials, manufacturing techniques, types of binder used, distribution of binder, and sintering affect the final porosity and pore connectivity, are important things that must be considered during the manufacturing of a porous ceramic body. Therefore, the development of porous ceramic research requires sufficient mechanical and chemical stability as well as permeability. This book covers a wide range of topics such as porous ceramic structure and properties, preparation, simulation and fabrication, sintering, applications for bioceramics, sensors, magnetics and energy saving.

Abstract
Aluminum-fly ash particulate-reinforced composites (AA6063-FA) have been used in various engineering fields, such as automotive and aerospace industries, due to their low density and good mechanical properties. There are many fabrication techniques available to manufacture these composites according to matrix and reinforcement materials. The compocasting technique for the fabrication of the AA6063 matrix composite reinforced with fly ash particles is the focus of this research. Fly ash content was in the range of 0–12 wt % in increasing increments of 2%. Fly ash particles were added to the molten AA6063 alloy until they were completely blended and cooled down just below the liquidus to keep the slurry in the semi-solid state. After this, the molten AA6063-FA composites were cast into prepared cast iron molds. Bulk density and apparent porosity measurements, Charpy impact testing, Vickers microhardness measurements, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS) elemental mapping were used to evaluate these materials. The results showed that an increase in the fly ash content in the melted leads results in an increase in the microhardness and porosity in the composites. In contrast, the bulk density and Charpy impact energy of the composites decreased with an increase in the fly ash content.

Ceramic Materials for Coating Application in Turbocharged Automotive Engine: A Review
Posted on October 26, 2016 ·
Abstract
The increasing trend of turbocharger applications leads to progressive research on the use of thermal barrier coating to improve engine performance. Ceramic materials such as zirconia, silicon nitride and silicon carbide are widely used as thermal barrier coating in high temperature components of turbocharged internal combustion engine. Ceramic coated turbine rotors and rolling element bearing have shown good improvement on the engine performance where the ceramic provides good insulation and protect the components from hot corrosion. Turbine volute is one of the major components in a turbocharger, which is exposed to very high temperature exhaust gasses. The commonly used material for the volute is tungsten, which is heavy and costly and it has poor insulation, thus resulting is significant heat loss to the environment. In order to mitigate these problems, a new material and application of ceramic coating could be adopted for the turbine volute. The new material with ceramic coating should be economical and light weighted in order to increase the thermal efficiency and reduce the heat loss to ambient. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to review several types of ceramic materials to be coated to the turbine volute based on their characteristics, latest development and research trends. It is hoped that this paper will serve as a useful guide in selecting the suitable ceramic material to be used as coating in the turbine volute of a turbocharged internal combustion engine.

Abstract:
Ceramics and metals are two of the oldest established classes of technologically useful materials. While metals dominate engineering applications, ceramics have some attractive properties compared to metals, which make them useful for specific applications. The properties of individual ceramics and metals can vary widely; however, the characteristics of most materials in the two classes differ significantly. Joints between a metal and ceramic are becoming increasingly important in the manufacturing of a wide variety of technological product. But joining ceramics to metallic materials often remains an unresolved or unsatisfactorily resolved problem. This chapter deals with problems of various studies in recent years on the joining between two materials.
