Experimental Ceramic Engine Components
The US government and, especially, the state of California have continued to pass legislation requiring further reductions in pollution and increases in gas mileage, and automotive engineers are always trying to improve the engines and systems to make their companies' cars more competitive.
As we've discussed, ceramics have played a major role in helping meet pollution reduction, but they also offer automobile manufacturers other important advantages that can increase engine performance and gas mileage: higher temperature capability, better wear resistance, greater ability to work with little or no lubrication, and light weight.
Researchers all over the world are busily building automotive parts out of ceramics and testing them in the laboratory and in cars.
The following paragraphs tell about some of these efforts, which will surely lead to new ceramics uses under the hood of motor vehicles.
