Ceramics

The field of ceramic engineering creates a vast number of different specialty materials, with applications designed to leverage the temperature resistance, high hardness or rigidity, porosity, or chemical properties of these materials. Inherently, the fusion of smaller, simple crystalline elements into a bulk material, the microstructure and crystalline properties of ceramics is critical. Microanalysis, chemical testing of ancestor materials, examination of crystalline orientation are all supported with EMSL's laboratory network. Our materials laboratory can assist with all your mechanical, chemical and structural needs, and remain invested in developing new capabilities to address unique challenges in piezo-electrics, catalyst supports, and additive laser sintering processes.
