Company Profile for Ceradyne, Inc.Founded in 1967, Ceradyne, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets advanced technical ceramic materials, products, and components for defense, industrial, automotive/diesel and commercial applications. Ceradyne recently acquired Quest Technology (San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. ) and its ceramic injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. technology and ESK ESK Esperanto-Societo Kebekia (Quebec Esperanto Society) ESK Ekonomik Sosyal Konsey ESK Eisenschweinkader (German bicycle club) ESK Electronic SWO (Staff Weather Officer) Kit Ceramics (Kempten, Germany), a worldwide manufacturer of ceramic powders and industrial ceramic products, to continue expanding R&D capabilities and market diversification. The unique characteristics of Ceradyne advanced technical ceramics -- toughness; hardness; light weight; resistance to extremely high temperatures, friction, wear, and corrosion; and special electrical properties -- offer significant advantages over traditional materials such as steel, other metals, glass, and plastics. These advantages make Ceradyne ceramic products and components suitable for a wide range of industries and high-performance applications. Ceradyne ceramic products for defense include body and vehicle armor for military use, and missile nose cones (radomes). Industrial ceramic products include parts for cutting tools and oil drilling, furnace liners and crucibles for processing silicon, seals and bearings for fluid handling, evaporation evaporation, change of a liquid into vapor at any temperature below its boiling point. For example, water, when placed in a shallow open container exposed to air, gradually disappears, evaporating at a rate that depends on the amount of surface exposed, the humidity boats for metallizing Metallizing is the general name for the technique of coating metal on the surface of non-metallic objects. Because a non-metallic object tends to be a poor electrical conductor, the object's surface must be made conductive before plating can be performed. , parts for high-temperature foundry furnaces, side dams for thin-strip steel casting Steel casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured into a mold, allowed to solidify within the mold, and then the mold is broken and the solid piece is taken out. , components for microwave tubes, and starting powders for manufacturing ceramic materials. Products for automotive/diesel applications include cam rollers for diesel engines and armor for Ford's Lincoln Town Car The Lincoln Town Car is a rear wheel drive full-size luxury sedan and serves as the flagship of Ford's Lincoln luxury car division. Often referred to as a traditional American luxury sedan, the Town Car features a V8 engine, rear wheel drive, very generous exterior and interior Ballistic Protection Series (BPS (Bits Per Second) The measurement of the speed of data transfer in a communications system. 1. BPS - Basic Programming Support 2. bps - bits per second ). Commercial products include translucent orthodontic orthodontic (ôr´th  dän´tik),adj brackets (braces). Ceradyne ceramic products are marketed and sold worldwide. The Company holds patents and registered trademarks for certain materials, processes, products, and brand names, and maintains trade secrecy to protect proprietary compositions and production processes.
