The other name of Silicon carbide is carborundum. The silicon carbide is a semiconductor, which is assist the system in reducing size and power loss by 50 %, owing to which, silicon carbide is expected to replace other silicon based semiconductors...
China agreed on Wednesday to loan Guinea $20 billion over almost 20 years in exchange for concessions on bauxite, an ore of aluminum which the West African country has in abundance, the mines minister said.
Two awards will fund research on power electronic systems to move heavy vehicles toward electric and reduce cost of electric cars. The technology relies on materials like silicon-carbide and gallium-nitride instead of the silicon.
The beauty of your cutlery comes from the fine material it is moulded from and these sensitive metals often react with free radicals of oxygen. Avoid abrasive cloth for drying the cutlery and use white vinegar to maintain lustre, suggest experts.
Nickel/gold (Ni/Au) or copper (Cu) are often used for electrodes for silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors as well as direct bonded copper (DBC) substrates. Thus, bonding to Ni/Au or Cu electrodes is in high demand..
The global super abrasives market is a growing one as super abrasives are steadily replacing normal ones as the production increases, and is projected to reach USD 4.87 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 7.53% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2020.
The China ex-works Shanxi daily spot alumina assessment continued its upward trend on Monday, settling higher at Yuan 2,780/mt ($419/mt) cash, up another Yuan 30/mt after rising Yuan 50/mt on Friday.
The researchers were able to theoretically calculate the mechanism by which graphene's electronic band structure could be modified with metal atoms. The work will guide experimentally the use of the effect in layers of graphene with rare-earth metal ions.
Consumption of bauxite and alumina is also likely to move in tandem with the domestic aluminum production trend, the report predicted. However, any surplus production of alumina will lead to increasing alumina exports.
According to a report, the India was valued at USD 125.68 million in 2015 is expected to reach USD 176.72 million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.69% between 2016 and 2021. In term of volume, Indian non woven abrasives market...

“In the year’s second half ... China’s clean up of production lines that have flouted regulations will have an important impact on the market,” the company said in a filing on Thursday to Shanghai’s bourse where it is listed besides Hong Kong...
Aluminium Corp of China (Chalco) plans to invest $500 million in a project to produce bauxite, used to make aluminium, in Guinea starting next year, the mines ministry said...
Even tiny dust particles have stories to tell − especially when they come from outer space. Meteorites contain tiny amounts of what is popularly known as stardust, matter originating from dying stars. Such stardust is part of the raw material...
Bauxite and alumina represent the first two links in the value chain on the way to aluminum metal and eventually products. Bauxite is the most common raw material used to produce alumina for aluminum metal production. The white powder, alumina...
To keep in line with Shandong's emissions control this year, the province is to restrict the aggregate output of its alumina and aluminum producers who have met emissions standards by 30% and 30%, respectively, on November 15, 2017 and...
A new composite material combines ultra-lightweight with flame-resistance, super-elasticity and other attributes that could make it ideal for various applications. Here, the material is viewed with a scanning electron microscope, while its...
India’s production totaled 22.08 million metric tons last year, and production this year is expected to jump by eighteen percent, totaling 26.1 million metric tons. Trends indicate that the country’s overall bauxite ore production total in 2021 will reach
Alcoa generated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) of $483 million in 2Q17, compared to $533 million in 1Q17. Lower alumina prices were the key driver of Alcoa’s lower 2Q17 EBITDA.
