The document reflects the collective insights of senior executives and technical experts from the advanced ceramics and aluminum industries and represents an important step for forming a meaningful relationship between the advanced ceramics and aluminum industries to address critical material needs. Identifies common material challenges of wear, corrosion, high temperature degradation, creep, fatigue, impact, and thermal shock. Tutorial of Industries of the Future manufacturing processes. Benefits of advanced ceramics in decreasing life cycle costs, improving efficiency, and lowering emissions are emphasized. Advanced ceramics are promising for furnace and downstream fabrication processes.
More data is needed on stability of advanced ceramics in the glass production environment.
