Machining composites is a dusty, arduous and abrasive process that is hard on cutting tools, requiring the right combination ...

The right figure displays the computed fractured toughness Kc and applied load for each material, including niobium carbide (NbC), sapphire, vanadium carbide (VC), titanium carbide (TiC ...

Another study explored the effects of tensile stress on the electronic properties of silicon carbide (SiC) and titanium-doped SiC. The findings revealed that applying tensile stress can lead to a ...
