The polishing process of advanced ceramic balls using a novel eccentric lapping machine [PDF]
, 2005 The finishing process of advanced ceramic balls can be divided into two steps. The first step is lapping in which most of the stock from the ball is removed at a higher material removal rate.

Tritium Breeding Ceramics for Nuclear Fusion [PDF]
Tritium and deuterium are widely considered as fuel for fusion power plants. While deuterium is quite abundant in nature, tritium needs to be “bred” from lithium in a neutron reaction.

Preparation of Lithium Orthosilicate Ceramic Pebbles by Molten Spray Method Process
, 2011 Lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) ceramic pebbles was prepared by molten spray process, using lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and silica (SiO2) as raw material. The XRD experimental investigation results showed that the main crystal phase of the ceramic pebbles
