  • Deformable granule production
    Patent number: 8425809
    Abstract: A method of forming granules, the method including forming a suspension of a nanopowder such as a nano zirconia powder containing yttria. The powder is formed from a suspension, and freon is added directly to the suspension as an additive. The suspension is then granulated by spray freeze drying, and the freon subsequently removed by heat treatment. The voids left by the vacated freon provide meso, micro and macro flaws or structural defects in the granules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2013
    Assignee: Loughborough University
    Inventors: Annapoorani Ketharam, Balasubramaniam Vaidhyanathan, Bala Praveen Chakkravarthy Raghupathy, Jonathan Graham Peel Binner

  • Densification of porous bodies
    Publication number: 20020176937
    Abstract: A porous perform body is infiltrated with carbon by a thermal gradient process using a multi-portion heating element to heat the body. Selected portions of the heating element are supplied with power to create the thermal gradient between different areas of the preform body.
