oxide materials
1Oxide dispersion strengthened alloy — Oxide dispersion strengthened alloys (ODS) are used for high temperature turbine blades and heat exchanger tubing.[1] Alloys of nickel are the most common but work is being done on iron aluminum alloys.[2] ODS steels are used in nuclear… …
2Materials for use in vacuum — are materials showing very low rate of outgassing in vacuum, and, where applicable, tolerant to the bake out temperatures. The requirements grow increasingly stringent with the desired degree of vacuum achievable in the vacuum chamber. The… …

4materials science — the study of the characteristics and uses of various materials, as glass, plastics, and metals. [1960 65] * * * Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material s composition and structure, both… …
5Materials science — Simulation of the outside of the Space Shuttle as it heats up to over 1,500 °C (2,730 °F) during re entry into the Earth s atmosphere Materials science is an interdisciplinary field applying the properties of matter to various areas of… …
6Materials science in science fiction — Material science in science fiction is the study of how materials science is portrayed in works of science fiction. The accuracy of the materials science portrayed spans a wide range – sometimes it is an extrapolation of existing technology,… …
7Oxide — Oxides, such as iron(III) oxide or rust, which consists of hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2O3·nH2O and iron(III) oxide hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), form when oxygen combines with other elements An oxide ( …
8materials testing — Introduction measurement of the characteristics and behaviour of such substances as metals, ceramics, or plastics under various conditions. The data thus obtained can be used in specifying the suitability of materials for various… …
9Oxide dispersion strengthened — ODS materials are used on spacecrafts as a layer designed to protect the vehicle, especially during reentry into the atmosphere.When it comes to reentry at hypersonic speeds, the properties of gasses change dramatically. Shockwaves are created… …
10Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers — MRSEC is an acronym for Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers, funded by the United States National Science Foundation. Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) support interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary… …
