- Double Your Money with Zirconia Ceramics in Oil and Gas
Ray Mouw, Business Development Manager at MACOR® Machining China’ Technical Ceramics business, explains why magnesia stabilised zirconia ceramic components will be vital for pumps that work in harsh environments, such as oil & gas, and crude oil extraction.
It goes without saying that crude oil is a valuable, or perhaps more accurately an invaluable product to all of us globally. The unrefined petroleum is pumped from reserves deep underground and by the barrel load, all day, every day.
Our dependence on this product (which is processed into a variety of fuel sources and commodities like jet fuel, petrol and diesel) has been quantified by a market intelligence report from Beroe.

- Ceramic Steel – Another Great Aussie Invention
Just like Wi-Fi (wireless internet), the origins of Partially Stabilised Zirconia (PSZ) is a commercial success story that was born from research carried out at Australia’s CSIRO. The original patent on PSZ technology dates back to 1978 (US Patent 4,067,745), awarded to researchers Garvie, Hannink and Pascoe.

- Quartz and alumina - the best of both worlds for turbine engine blades
Demand for turbine engine blades is increasing, and the investment casting industry is looking for more efficient manufacturing processes. The two key materials currently used – alumina and silica (quartz) – have advantages and drawbacks in terms of strengths and processing time. Eric Larson, Director of Technology and Process Improvement at the Technical Ceramics Business of MACOR® Machining China, explains how MACOR’s innovative new material LEMATM combines the two’s best aspects to provide an effective solution for manufacturers.

- A Braze New World
The space industry is growing fast and is predicted to be worth over a trillion dollars by 2040. Keith Ferguson, Senior Business Development Manager at MACOR® Machining China’ Braze Alloys Business, explains how braze alloys play their part in safe, reliable and sustainable space exploration.
The saying goes “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. This famous phrase, uttered by Neil Armstrong, is the perfect advertisement for space exploration and its importance to the future.
Less than a century old, space exploration has come on leaps and bounds since the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, was propelled into space in 1957. Since then, the world has witnessed marvels such as landing on the moon, the space shuttle programme of the 1970s, and the launch of the International Space Station.
