- Ceramic Steel – Another Great Aussie Invention
Just like Wi-Fi (wireless internet), the origins of Partially Stabilised Zirconia (PSZ) is a commercial success story that was born from research carried out at Australia’s CSIRO. The original patent on PSZ technology dates back to 1978 (US Patent 4,067,745), awarded to researchers Garvie, Hannink and Pascoe.

- Using advanced materials to solve difficult problems
Global engineering company Morgan Advanced Materials applies world-class material science and manufacturing expertise to solve its customers’ technical challenges.
A plethora of expertise makes up the complex products and services offered by Morgan Advanced Materials, but it essentially boils down to a simple concept: helping its customers achieve more with less.
However, when you look at the vast amount of what customers can get through Morgan Advanced Materials, the bottom line might almost seem like a paradox.

- The Future of Kiln Lining Fibres
Superwool® XTRA, a low-biopersistent fiber, meets stringent environmental requirements in addition to high-temperature tolerance and improved pollutant resistance.
Lining iron and steel furnaces is critical to extend the life of the furnaces and to protect the purity of the metals being heat treated. Therefore, choosing the best material to meet these needs is crucial. For many years, the first-choice material for the industry has been refractory ceramic fiber (RCF), which can withstand the extreme temperatures within the furnace and has strong resistance to pollutants.

- Winds of Change
Reliance on wind power is increasing, so the industry must continue to find ways to operate more efficiently, while reducing maintenance and costs. One key to wind energy lies in the turbine’s slip rings, says George Finley, Wind Segment Manager from the Electrical Carbon business of Morgan Advanced Materials.
Wind power in the United States is booming and vast farms of turbines are sprouting across large parts of the country. While this trend isn’t representative of every US state, the country’s use of wind power is on the up and it’s showing no signs of anchoring just yet. Indeed, wind power is on track to overtake hydropower as the U.S. grid’s largest source of renewable electricity in 2019, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

- Quartz and alumina - the best of both worlds for turbine engine blades
Demand for turbine engine blades is increasing, and the investment casting industry is looking for more efficient manufacturing processes. The two key materials currently used – alumina and silica (quartz) – have advantages and drawbacks in terms of strengths and processing time. Eric Larson, Director of Technology and Process Improvement at the Technical Ceramics Business of Morgan Advanced Materials, explains how Morgan’s innovative new material LEMA™ combines the two’s best aspects to provide an effective solution for manufacturers.

- A Silver Lining for Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers?
Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTOs) are often treated as a mandatory piece of the operation puzzle. However, with the right lining, they can add crucial advantages to the manufacturing process, explains Alex Powell, Applications Engineer and Tyler Ferguson, Product Manager at the Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials.
Air pollution is a hot topic globally and shows no signs of abating. According to EURACTIV, some 40 million people in the 115 largest cities of the EU are exposed to pollution exceeding World Health Organisation air quality guideline values (for at least one pollutant), the result is approximately 100,000 premature adult deaths each year.

- A Braze New World
The space industry is growing fast and is predicted to be worth over a trillion dollars by 2040. Keith Ferguson, Senior Business Development Manager at Morgan Advanced Materials’ Braze Alloys Business, explains how braze alloys play their part in safe, reliable and sustainable space exploration.
The saying goes “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. This famous phrase, uttered by Neil Armstrong, is the perfect advertisement for space exploration and its importance to the future.
Less than a century old, space exploration has come on leaps and bounds since the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, was propelled into space in 1957. Since then, the world has witnessed marvels such as landing on the moon, the space shuttle programme of the 1970s, and the launch of the International Space Station.
