GLASS AND CERAMICS

WORKING ON GLASS, MINERALS AND CERAMICS ENTAILS DEALING WITH A HOST OF ISSUES RELATING TO ABRASION, FRAGILITY AND THERMODYNAMICS – AND THAT IS A COMPLEX CHALLENGE!

InS specialises in contacts and the tribology of mineral systems with a view to meeting requirements

  •  Determination of thermodynamic properties
  • Rheology of mineral systems at high temperatures
  • Friction and wearing
  • Protection against liquid metals (Refractory dressing)

 InS already has carried out many activities in this field:

  •  Design of high-temperature surface protection against oxidation and gaseous diffusion
  • Study appropriate types of rheology for metal deformation
  • Study of friction and adhesive properties of ceramic: mineral polymers systems
  • Doping deformation enamels to enhance surface quality

InS uses its knowledge of structural analysis, thermodynamics, high-temperature friction, high-temperature rheology, mineral chemistry, tribology and much more.
