carbide

Even with wood, all the tooling is made of solid carbide.

The company is considering designing the first-stage turbine blades of the GE9X with silicon carbide-based ceramic matrix composites (CMC), which are lighter and more heat-resistant than metal.

Are there any running fusion experiments that use internal boron carbide cladding to shield the vacuum chamber walls?

In fact, [2] mentions that the first substrates used for growing GaN were sapphire, zinc oxide, and silicon carbide.

Don't forget that Union Carbide was responsible for the disaster, who have their HQ in Houston.

Actually a lot of the stories in Carbide Tipped Pens are really good.

I would like to add one thing: actually, although ownership was 'shared' Union Carbide Corporation never owned less than 50.9% i.e.

Safest of the alternative materials is probably the tungsten carbide or ceramic rings, since those can be fractured off with a pair of common vice grips.

Union Carbide was a corporation, a legal fiction in which ownership is divorced from responsibility, that cannot exist without privileges given to it by a state.

Fusion reactors are generally made from boron carbide -- a material unique for the fact that it does not become very radioactive when irradiated with neutrons.

- Dow Chemical bought Union Carbide for almost $10B and the combined company is today worth $60B.

If you hand sand, you could use Silicon Carbide paper (the black stuff labelled "waterproof").

Dow Chemical Company Purchased UCC in 2001, seventeen years after the disaster." Dow Chemical did not own Union Carbide at the time of the incident.

So I should have said "modern fusion reactors generally use first-wall materials like boron carbide and beryllium, which do not become radioactive when irradiated".

¹ Dad used to work for Union Carbide, which owned the "Eveready" brand at the time.

Having a less painful development platform than Symbian and a better development environment than Symbian SDK/Carbide C++ combo would be a good start.

Notably they dont shy away from claiming any of the assets of their wholly owned subsidiary Union Carbide, but none of their liabilities.

Dutch East India Company, United Fruit Company, Union Carbide, Ford Motor Company, British Petroleum, Blackwater, Walmart, Pinkteron, Standard Oil, Enron, and on and on and on.
