Multiscale Modeling of Thermomechanical Properties of Ceramic Pebbles (KIT Scientific Reports ; 7573) [PDF]
Ceramic pebbles are foreseen to be used as tritium breeder in helium cooled pebble bed blankets in fusion reactors. The pebbles are subject to high temperature and irradiation. They may fail during thermomechanical loading.

The effects of lapping load in finishing advanced ceramic balls on a novel eccentric lapping machine [PDF]
HIPed (Hot Isostatically Pressed) silicon nitride ball blanks were lapped from diameter 13.255 mm to diameter 12.7 mm by a novel eccentric lapping machine. A maximum material removal rate of 68 μm/hour has been achieved under a nominal lapping load of 43
