1. Co-precipitation method The co-precipitation method is currently the most commonly used method for preparing nano-zirconia due to its simple operation, easy control of the reaction process, and low cost. The specific process of this method is: adding some stabilizers (such as Y(NO3)3) and dispersing agents (such as PEG2000, etc.) to make soluble zirconium salts […]
Have you ever wondered how magnets work and why they’re used in so many applications? Magnets played a part in establishing the principles of electricity, science experiments, advanced engineering, online shopping and more. In fact, without these materials powered by magnetic force, our everyday activities would look a lot different than it does today. Today […]
From biomedical imaging and aerospace engineering to consumer products and research initiatives, Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is revolutionizing the modern engineering landscape. This ultra-flexible, temperature-responsive metal has quickly become a highly sought-after material for its remarkable properties. With an ability to store vast amounts of energy and then recall it later on demand, Nitinol […]
As an important part of chemical equipment, crucible is a container for melting and refining metal liquid and heating solid-liquid reaction, which is the basis for the smooth progress of chemical reaction. Crucibles were originally made of clay, and one of the earliest uses of platinum was to make crucibles. With the development of manufacturing […]

Have you heard a little bit about them but are unsure of their amazing capabilities and how they could potentially benefit your life? If so, this blog post is for you! Neodymium permanent magnets have been on the scene for many years […]
NEODYMIUM, GADOLINIUM, TERBIUM, Dysprosium, HOLMIUM, ERBIUM NEODYMIUM Atomic symbol: Nd Atomic weight: 144.24 Atomic number: 60 Electron configuration: 2-8-18-22-8-2 Oxidation states: +3 State of matter: solid Heavy metal, brittle Discovered in 1885 by Carl Auer von Welsbach Boils at 3127°C, melts at 1010°C Notes: Used in special alloys and glasses, neodymium is a silvery-white color […]
Crucibles are specialized containers for melting metallic materials at very high temperatures. The molten material is cast into new objects or used to make new alloys (different metals combined in specific proportions). Since crucibles are used to melt materials at high temperatures, the material used to make the crucible must have a higher melting point […]
CESIUM, IODINE, BARIUM, LANTHANUM, CERIUM, PRASEODYMIUM IODINE Atomic symbol: I Atomic weight: 126.90447 Atomic number: 53 Electron configuration: 2-8-18-18-7 Oxidation states: ±1, +5, 7 State of matter: solid Non-metal Discovered in 1811 by Bernard Courtois Boils at 184°C, melts at 113.5°C Notes: Iodine is bluish-black in color with a metallic luster, characteristic odor, and sharp […]
What are ultra-high temperature materials Ultra-high-temperature materials refer to the most heat-resistant high-grade materials that can be used as usual under severe environments such as stress and oxidation, and at an ultra-high temperature of about 2000°C. Research and application of ultra-high temperature materials 1. Refractory metal Refractory metals (W, Mo, Ta, Nb, Zr, etc.) […]
Pyrolytic Boron Nitride, abbreviated as Pyrolytic BN or PBN, also known as Chemical vapour-deposited Boron Nitride, Chemical Vapour-deposition of Boron Nitride or CVD-BN, etc. As the name suggests, this is a kind of boron nitride prepared by high temperature pyrolysis reaction by chemical vapor deposition method. Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) material has high purity, chemical […]
