Abstract Post and core devices are elements that contribute to the complete restoration of the coronary abutment, over which the final prosthetic restoration will be created. Their role is to retain the coronary portion of the restoration and to protect the remaining coronary structures. The retention function is dictated by the major indication of the method, massive coronary destruction that does not provide conditions for coronary aggregation of the restoration. Thus, this material is approaching two unique methods of making post and core devices totally metallic and/or hybrid (metal + totally ceramic component), using both classical technology, modern technologies, but also combinations of them.

This technology project, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, is intended to advance the technological readiness of the ceramic automotive gas turbine engine. Of the several technologies requiring development before such an engine becomes a commercial reality, structural ceramic components represent the greatest technical challenge, and are the prime project focus. The ATTAP aims at developing and demonstrating such ceramic components that have a potential for: (1) competitive automotive engine life cycle cost and (2) operating for 3500 hr in a turbine engine environment at turbine inlet temperatures up to 1371°C (2500°F). Allison is addressing the ATTAP goal using internal technical resources, an extensive technology and data base from General Motors (GM), technical resources from several subcontracted domestic ceramic suppliers, and supporting technology developments from Oak Ridge and other federal programs. The development activities have resulted in the fabrication and delivery of numerous ceramic engine components, which have been characterized through laboratory evaluation, cold spin testing, hot rig testing, and finally through engine testing as appropriate. These component deliveries are the result of the ATTAP design/process development/fabrication/characterization/test cycles. Ceramic components and materials have been characterized in an on-going program using nondestructive and destructive techniques. So far in ATTAP, significant advancements include: • evolution of a correlated design procedure for monolithic ceramic components • evolution of materials and processes to meet the demanding design and operational requirements of high temperature turbines • demonstration of ceramic component viability through thousands of hours of both steady-slate and transient testing while operating at up to full design speed, and at turbine inlet temperatures up to 1371°C (2500°F) • completion of hundreds of hours of durability cyclic testing utilizing several “all ceramic” gasifier turbine assemblies • demonstration of ceramic rotor survivability under conditions of extreme foreign object ingestion, high speed turbine tip rub, severe start-up transients, and a very demanding durability cycle In addition to the ceramic component technology, progress has been made in the areas of low emission combustion technology and regenerator design and development.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are engineering materials in which a hard ceramic component is dispersed in a ductile metal matrix in order to obtain characteristics such as hardness and corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance is one of the important properties of nanocomposites; however, the corrosion mechanism of the Al- SiC nanocomposite has not yet been determined. .In this study, bulk Al-5% SiC nanocomposite was prepared using mechanical alloying and the hot press method. Corrosion behavior was then investigated using EIS techniques such as Nyquist and the Bod diagram. A larger charge transfer resistance was found for the Al- SiC nanocomposite by the EIS diagrams, confirming its corrosion resistance in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution.

An update of the status of ceramic component development of the AGT Programs is presented. Activity on AGTO Program focussed on the following: successful transition from the prototype to engine configuration rotor, investigation of alternate rotor molding techniques, and completion of scroll assemblies. Progress on the Garrett AGT Program was highlighted by the introduction of plastic molding and extrusion to parts which were previously fabricated by slip casting and isopressing respectively.

Monolithic Ceramics

The automotive gas turbine’s (AGT) significant potential payoffs in fuel economy, emissions, and alternate fuels usage continue to motivate development activities worldwide. The U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored, NASA-managed Advanced Turbine Technology Applications Project (ATTAP) focuses on developing critical AGT structural ceramic component technologies. The area of greatest challenge is that of cost-effective, near-net-shape, high-volume, high-yield manufacturing processes. Process physics modeling and Taguchi analyses are affording substantial progress, and new processes are being explored. Laboratory characterization is building a shared materials data base among Allison, Garrett, Government labs, and ceramic manufacturers. General Motors (GM) has logged over 700 test hours with ceramic components in hot gasifier rigs during ATTAP. A key ATTAP milestone was addressed by successfully demonstrating full goal temperature and speed (2500°F rotor inlet at 100% shaft speed) with ceramic components. Fast-fracture ceramic component design tools are well correlated. Although time-dependent data and mechanistic models exist, a validated design system for such phenomena does not, and is a pressing need. Damage tolerance and impact resistance have been substantially addressed through tailored component designs, tougher monolithic ceramics, and increased ceramic strengths. Ceramic turbine rotors are now continuing to run after various substantial impacts, and after chipping damage. Ceramic-ceramic and ceramic-metal interfacing is being addressed by minimizing components’ joints, and by other DOE-sponsored work on joining models, processes, and materials. The extruded regenerator disk is a continuing goal which requires both forming process and materials technology development. Controlling turbine tip clearances and tolerating tip rubs are key technologies. GM has demonstrated clearance control schemes, as well as rotor survivability to high speed/temperature tip rubs. Several noteworthy ceramic materials reflect the rapid progress over the past decade of monolithic ceramics, especially the Si3N4 family. GM forecasts achieving ATTAP engine cyclic durability goals.

Paper presents a novel application of magnetostrictive delay lines, which give a possibility of real time monitoring of strain in ceramic components. Magnetostrictive delay line was based on highly magnetostrictive Fe-Si-B amorphous alloy ribbon, mounted outside of ceramic component, what is a new solution for increasing sensor’s sensitivity. Developed specially for this sensor, hybrid digital-analog signal processing unit covers the sample-and-hold integrated circuit. The achived sensitivity and repeatability of the sensor confirms, that such solution is suitable for ceramic machine tool monitoring.
