Nanoceramic

Nanoceramics/nanocomposite are defined as novel bulk materials or coating with nanostructural architecture, characterized by at least one of the ceramic phases having length scale between 1 and 1000 nm. The major drive for wider interest in nanoceramics and its composites has been the fact that one can potentially achieve better and some unusual material properties by manipulating length scale in the nano range. Therefore, better performance and newer application of the materials, for example, durable bone replacement materials using polymer-ceramic nanobiocomposite have now been made possible. Nanoceramic surfaces enable the use of light weight Aluminium with ceramic surface instead of Steel or Titanium for a variety of applications. Aluminium is about three times lighter than Steel and nearly two times lighter that Titanium. The combination of light weight and high surface hardness are beneficial for fast moving parts and/or those that suffer from wear. Reduction of mass for moving parts means: * lower energy consumption, * reduction of friction losses * lower inertia * less impact on components * higher speed of movement See Also
