News of China's Shandong province planning to cap its aluminum and alumina output capacity from November 2017 to March 2018 has increased the risk of price volatility, the State Development and Investment Corporation said in a report Friday.
Researchers from the Technological Institute for Superhard and Novel Carbon Materials and the Siberian Federal University (SFU) have created an effective acoustic-electronic device based on synthetic diamonds, the SFU press office said.
Seaborne iron ore prices soared on Monday, alongside other raw materials and steel prices. The trigger was a burst of positive sentiment which can almost entirely be traced back to the state, but a concentration of high grade fines...
Yaskawa Electric says it has developed the world’s first servomotor with a built-in amplifier equipped with gallium arsenide (GaN) power semiconductors. It claims that the motor and amplifier are half the size of the amplifier portion of a conventional...
The research looks for a repeatable method to transform diamond into graphene through annealing and nucleation with a metal catalyst.
Structural ceramics continue to be intensely popular. As demand continues to grow for materials to be stronger, more durable and lighter, manufacturers must look for new, innovative processes to produce the next generation of ceramics.

Things have moved on and advances in blasting media have been a big part of it. Here’s three key ways in which these advances are being felt.
Scientists have recently created a new spintronics material called bismuthene, which has similar properties to that of graphene. Because it works at room temperature instead of the incredibly cold, as low as -450 F...
The prices of raw materials, oil and energy have shot up significantly, all of which have push up manufacturing and operating costs in recent months...The prices of other raw materials used for producing cement, such as calcium carbonate, silica, alumina
SME officials searched for a secondhand cutting machine in the U.S. and took it apart to fit it into the Tokyo studio. A special foundation to reduce vibration was built for the new cutting room.
"The production cost will rise by a couple of hundreds renminbi, and it will eliminate some companies," said one fused alumina producer in Henan. "But the burden on enterprises will be huge."
The global silicon carbide market is projected to grow to reach over 2900 kilometric tons by 2021,at a CAGR of more than 14% over the forecast period.The increasing demand and production of silicon carbide from APAC are expected to boost the market growth
Finishing processes that utilize abrasive belts are referred to as polishing, and processes that use quality cloth wheels with compound applied is buffing. Polishing generates a brushed or lined finish, where buffing removes the lines...
