The processing, structure and properties (mechanical and functional) of directionally
solidified eutectic ceramic oxides are reviewed with particular attention to the developments …

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) is a coherent and
monochromatic source of electromagnetic radiation that can propagate in a straight line with …

Selective laser melting (SLM), a novel approach for one-step melting and solidifying ceramic
powder beds layer by layer without post-process of degreasing and sintering, has been …

Cylindrical and arc-shaped Al 2 O 3–ZrO 2 (Y 2 O 3) eutectic ceramic structures without any
binders were directly fabricated by laser engineered net sha** from pure powders. During …

Laser assisted fabrication involves sha** of materials using laser as a source of heat. It
can be achieved by removal of materials (laser assisted cutting, drilling, etc.), deformation …

Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2) and silicon carbide (SiC) composites have long been of interest
since it was observed that ZrB 2 improved the thermal shock resistance of SiC. However …

Metamaterials offer new unusual electromagnetic properties, which have already been
demonstrated, and many postulated new functionalities are yet to be realized. Currently …

Al2O3–ZrO2 eutectics containing 9 mol% Y2O3 (with respect to zirconia) were produced by
directional solidification using the laser floating zone (LFZ) method. The eutectic …

The present invention relates to a method of producing a (shaped) ceramic or glass-ceramic
article, involving the steps of:(a) providing a powder or a powder mixture comprising ceramic …

Rods of 1–2mm diameter of Al2O3/Y3Al5O12/ZrO2 in the ternary eutectic composition
(65mol% Al2O3, 19mol% ZrO2, 16mol% Y2O3) were grown by the laser-heated floating …
