Key Takeaways The global ceramic matrix composites market is expected to grow from USD 11.35 billion in 2021 to USD 12.26 billion in 2022 (CAGR 8.05%) and reach USD 17.15 billion in 2026 (CAGR 8.75%), according to Research And Markets. Ceramic matrix composites combine a ceramic matrix, reinforcing fibers and an interface layer; the fibers overcome the brittleness, mechanical unreliability and low conductivity that limit monolithic ceramics. C/SiC composites toughen silicon carbide with carbon fibers that absorb fracture energy through crack deflection, fiber...

Application of Quartz Glass in Optical Field

Ensoll2026-09-10T10:48:27+08:00

Key Takeaways Quartz glass is a single-component silica glass praised as the King of Glass; high-purity quartz glass transmits well across a very wide spectrum from far ultraviolet (160 nm) to far infrared (5 um), which ordinary optical glass cannot match. In optical fiber communication, silica fiber offers high precision, strength, reliability, low energy consumption and simple assembly, and quartz fiber is increasingly important for artificial satellites, deep space exploration and inertial navigation. Quartz glass serves as terminal optical components in the Shenguang-III...

Ensoll2026-09-10T10:48:30+08:00

What is the difference between quartz glass and ordinary glass? Key Takeaways Hardness: quartz glass generally reaches Mohs 7, while ordinary glass only reaches about 5.5 to 6. Light transmission: quartz glass can transmit infrared and ultraviolet rays, while ordinary glass cannot. Color: quartz glass is generally colorless, while ordinary glass is generally colored. High-temperature resistance: red-hot quartz glass does not burst even when placed immediately in water, while ordinary glass bursts immediately once burned red. Use precautions: handle valuable quartz products with care, never exceed...

Diamond wire loop saw cut NdFeB magnet

Ensoll2026-09-07T10:44:15+08:00

Diamond wire loop saw cutting NdFeB magnet Key Takeaways NdFeB magnets are tetragonal Nd2Fe14B crystals — the strongest commercial permanent magnets in use today and the most common rare-earth magnet across electronics, motors, medical equipment and aerospace. There are two types: bonded NdFeB, which is magnetically isotropic and corrosion-resistant, and sintered NdFeB, which is stronger but corrodes easily and must be plated (zinc, nickel, or nickel-copper-nickel coatings). Traditional cutting routes are reciprocating long-wire saws for large magnets and inner-diameter (ID) slicing machines for small...

Traditional solar cell production process

Traditional solar cell production process Key Takeaways Traditional solar cell production starts with silicon wafer manufacturing and proceeds through texturing, diffusion, etching, coating and metallization. Wafer slicing quality — kerf, TTV and surface damage — directly affects cell efficiency and yield. Before we always described the manufacturing principle and processing process of silicon wafers, today we will describe the production process of traditional solar cells. Traditional cell production can be mainly summarized into 6 steps. From the perspective of the traditional cell manufacturing process,...
