Place
In Space Travel Age
And Stock Market
By ELMER C. WALZER
Uniled Press Financial Editor
New York Or A new ma
terial has been added to the lex
icon of the atomic and space
71 age
IS It is ceram-
ics. Ceramics i3
the art of mak
ing articles of
y I baked clay
such a3 pottery
and tiles. And
things made of
earth enware
are ceramics.
Webster
says
Elmer Waizer
these are the ways of using the
word in singular arid plural.
How does this ancient art of
pottery puttering fit into space
travel and the atomic age? Each
Involves soaring temperatures
and ceramics can stand them
better than other materials.
The Fitch Survey describes
how ceramics are used as atomic
reactor shields, in atomic fuels,
for coating of earth satellites, in
rocket nozzles, and in parts of
Intercontinental ballistic mis
siles. Bad Features
Ceramics addition to their
heat resistance are highly resis
tant to corrosion. But they do
have bad features, mainly their
tendency to shatter and their in
ability to bend.
The shattering tendency is ov
ercome by combining ceramics
with metals to form what are
called cermats. And some suc
cess is reported in making com
pounds of ceramics that will
bend.
How ' does ceramics fit into
stock market news? As in all
the developments of nuclear en
ergy, missiles and other new
things in the world, many com
panies are involved in the mak
ing and refining of ceramics for
particular jobs in the space age.
Minnesota Mining and General
Electric have programs for cer
amic fuel development, accord
ing to Fitch.
Gladding, McBean and Co. re
cently announced it has com
pleted the first ten prototype
high-alumina ceramics radomes
under an Air Force development
contract.
High, Heat Resistance
Bettinger Corp. has developed
ceramic coatings that can with
stand temperatures of 2,500 de
grees Fahrenheit and up. Avco

Babcock and Wilcox has. pro
duced "Kaowool," a ceramic fib
er similar to glass wool. The
Carborundum Co. makes "Fiber
faz." Dow Chemical's magnes
ium oxide is said to be the most
blendable ceramic so far found.
Corning Glass, "Pyroceram" is
expected to be used in radomes,
the nose cones of guided mis
siles. As industry and science devel
oped ceramics for space and
general atomic uset new uses also
may be made of ceramics in oth
er industries. These include elec

tion, various types of Insulation,
and myriad others an age-old
industry gone modern.
