New Way To Make Dense Complex-Shaped Ceramics At Lower Cost
is complete, we can have twice as much solid material as we started with. That extra material has to go somewhere, so it fills in the pores of the ceramic, creating a very dense material," he said. "The composite is very light, too," Sandhage continued. "We've made tungsten-bearing composite materials
