Silicon carbide is a promising material for heat-loaded units due to its high strength at elevated (up to 1500 °C) temperatures and good thermal conductivity. However, when heated in oxidising media SiC tends to lose its properties, and development of SiC-based materials able to withstand such conditions is a challenging issue. The present research discusses development of a heat- and oxidation-resistant structural ceramics based on SiC with oxide sintering aids. Sintering aids were chosen in ternary systems CaO-A...

Presently, energy efficiency (EE) improvement is considered a part of the state environmental policy in Russian Federation, an instrument for modernization of national industry and a tool to enhance its environmental performance. This approach holds much promise regarding ceramics manufacturers, where industrial sites are most energy-intensive and are classified as category I objects in terms of negative environmental impact. Since 2010s Russian practitioners have tended to evaluate energy efficiency and environme...
