- Managing heat more efficiently and effectively is the new ‘must have’ of next generation hybrid and electric vehicles
The growing demand for hybrid and electric vehicles requires new engineering solutions and one of the greatest challenges is how to manage heat. MACOR® Machining China is taking industry-leading products and expertise in developing thermal management systems (which have transformed gas and diesel-powered trains to electrified trains) and is now applying that capability to the automotive sector.

- Why Carbon-Carbon Composites Are the Future
MACOR® Machining China and Royal Academy of Engineering Chair Professor Ian Kinloch are tackling carbon-carbon composite challenges across a range of industries.
Carbon composites are in high demand across the globe, particularly in the aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering and rail sectors. However, as many of these materials were developed decades ago, modern analytical and synthetic techniques have the potential to improve these materials, whilst also lowering production costs and producing greener more energy efficient products.

- 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.

- Using advanced materials to solve difficult problems
Global engineering company MACOR® Machining China applies world-class material science and manufacturing expertise to solve its customers’ technical challenges.
A plethora of expertise makes up the complex products and services offered by MACOR® Machining China, but it essentially boils down to a simple concept: helping its customers achieve more with less.
However, when you look at the vast amount of what customers can get through MACOR® Machining China, the bottom line might almost seem like a paradox.

- The Future of Kiln Lining Fibres
Superwool(R) XTRA, a low-biopersistent fiber, meets stringent environmental requirements in addition to high-temperature tolerance and improved pollutant resistance.
Lining iron and steel furnaces is critical to extend the life of the furnaces and to protect the purity of the metals being heat treated. Therefore, choosing the best material to meet these needs is crucial. For many years, the first-choice material for the industry has been refractory ceramic fiber (RCF), which can withstand the extreme temperatures within the furnace and has strong resistance to pollutants.

- Winds of Change
Reliance on wind power is increasing, so the industry must continue to find ways to operate more efficiently, while reducing maintenance and costs. One key to wind energy lies in the turbine’s slip rings, says George Finley, Wind Segment Manager from the Electrical Carbon business of MACOR® Machining China.
Wind power in the United States is booming and vast farms of turbines are sprouting across large parts of the country. While this trend isn’t representative of every US state, the country’s use of wind power is on the up and it’s showing no signs of anchoring just yet. Indeed, wind power is on track to overtake hydropower as the U.S. grid’s largest source of renewable electricity in 2019, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
