CMCs for low energy kiln furniture: CMC Energy

Almath crucbles有限公司生产和供应陶瓷产品，用于一系列行业的窑炉和熔炉工艺。通过使用质量更低、机械完整性相当或更好的炉具，可以减少设备每次运行消耗的总热能，从而提高窑炉和熔炉过程的环境可持续性。在这个项目中，将开发基于陶瓷复合材料的材料和结构，它比传统的陶瓷材料具有更好的力学性能和更低的质量。测试样品和示范将由材料制作，然后测试机械和热性能。将制定一份规模扩大计划，以确保材料能够以成本有效的方式大批量生产。

Almath Crucibles Ltd manufactures and supplies ceramic products to a range of industries for their kiln and furnace processes. The environmental sustainability of kiln and furnace processes can be improved by reducing the total heat energy consumed in each run of the equipment, which can be achieved by using furnace furniture with lower mass and equivalent or better mechanical integrity. In this project, materials and structures based on ceramic composites will be developed which have superior mechanical properties and lower mass than conventional ceramic materials.Test specimens and demonstrators will be produced from the material and then tested for mechanical and thermal properties. A scale-up plan will be produced to ensure that the materials can be manufactured cost effectively at volume.
