Morgan Ceramics announced that it will be showcasing a broad range of its products for the oil and gas production and exploration industries at the 2012 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), between April 30th and May 3rd 2012, at the Reliant Center, in Houston, Texas at Booth 8714.

Increased consumer demand for more memory storage has led to recent advances in the semiconductor industry and semiconductor manufacturers are now investing heavily in the next generation 450mm wafers. Pilot lines are being built worldwide and key to their success is the ability to produce chips in an efficient and economical way. Ceramic semiconductor wafer handlers from Morgan Technical Ceramics will be a critical component, enabling manufacturers to improve productivity and yield.

Leading manufacturer of ceramic components Morgan Technical Ceramics exhibited its pioneering ceramic speech valve for the first time in China, at Medtec China in Shanghai, 7th – 8th September. The ceramics specialist worked with University of Hull (UK) spin out company, Avoco Medical Ltd, on a speech-restoration project for patients with throat cancer.

Leading manufacturer of ceramic components, Morgan Technical Ceramics, has launched new robust hydrocyclone parts for efficient sand control and desanding in the harsh oil and gas industry. The ceramic components are hard wearing and offer a long service life, reliably protecting downstream equipment and enabling users to save costs associated with maintenance and replacement parts.

Leading manufacturer of ceramic components Morgan Technical Ceramics is working with University of Hull spin out company, Avoco Medical Ltd, on a pioneering speech-restoration project for patients with throat cancer. The company is taking to market a new patent-protected speech valve that uses zirconia ceramic components which enable valve life to increase, resulting in less frequent valve changes for patients. This improves quality of life for patients and reduces cost to healthcare providers.

Morgan Technical Ceramics has introduced a new yellow glaze (GSY) for ceramic reflectors that improves efficiency of laser systems by filtering out UV and low wavelengths in laser pumping cavities. This reduces the overall temperature of the laser system and increases its life. It is suited to industrial lasers used in manufacturing and as a result end users can benefit from a reduced cost of ownership.

Morgan Technical Ceramics is supplying ceramic/metal assemblies for the solar-electric propulsion system used in BepiColombo, Europe’s first spacecraft mission to Mercury, which is expected to launch in 2014.

Morgan Technical Ceramics has developed a new bioceramic material for surgical implant devices. Vitox® AMC is an alumina matrix composite material which can withstand high shock without fracture and exhibits exceptionally low wear rates compared to alumina, metal or polyethylene alternatives.
