New Era of Automotive Materials
-
Industry Background
- · Ceramic Muffler used to be a fancy addition only for
some types of aviation and specialized crafts
- · Ceramic muffler used to be expensive and breakable
item for example; the ceramic catalyst in conventional muffler is them most
expansive part in the whole exhaust system, that the common ceramic industry
knowledge wont guarantee it’s road worthy for common automotive use.
- · Ceramic in general is heavier than the comparable equal
total mass of metal structure, simply because of the need of a thicker wall
to maintain the same High mechanical strength, Impact resistance
- · Although of the previous disadvantages, ceramic paste
based on Sodium Silicate is a common Cement for metal mufflers, although the
final form of this cement is eventually breakable, the product has a popular
market base because of it’s endurance for high temperature, easy
application process and comparably low price to conventional metal muffler
welding fees.
- · With the rise of superior advanced forms of ceramics in
the latest years, also with deferent new types of ceramic production process
and tools as modified Microwave ceramic ovens plus the new induction process
in addition of new techniques for the old type Ceramic kilns, this rapid
industry changes trigger Dr. Hamed A. M. Rushwan in RushStar Corporation to
tackle the opportunity with specially with his long history of more than 20
years in the automotive related products.
- · Dr. Rushwan set a criteria that the new materials got to
meet to be a market worthy:
The Final product has to be similar to the steel and hopefully
stainless steel such as 304 or 316 Mechanical properties. The Final product has
not to exceed the total system weight of conventional exhaust system The Final
product has to come other fast and viable connecting and repair mechanism and
process. The Final product has not to exceed to final cost of the conventional
exhaust system with more than 50%, new additions as zirconium and 99.9 % pure
new alumina show new promises
- · To convert the previous criteria in more technical term,
Dr. Rushwan set the following Technical standards for the new Ceramic
Muffler materials to be met
High mechanical strength,
Impact resistance Low expansion on thermal shock
High weight-strength ratio Wear resistant
High Bending Strength
