In an effort to expand its manufacturing presence in the southeastern part of the United States, Allied Mineral Products recently purchased Riverside Refractories, a refractory products provider headquartered in Alabama. The purchase will enable Allied to increase sales in the steel sector as well as expand product lines, particularly with Riverside\'s taphole clay products. \"Riverside is a natural to join the Allied family,\" Jon R. Tabor, chairman and CEO of Allied, says in a press release on the company\'s website. \"They have outstanding products, expertise in the manufacture of taphole clays, a skilled workforce, and an employee-driven culture that is a perfect fit with Allied\'s.\" Allied Mineral Products is a global producer and supplier of large refractory products. Riverside Refractories, originally a clay supplier, provides refractory products, including castables, lightweight refractories, and its signature anhydrous taphole clay products. \"In addition to a number of excellent products from Riverside, the taphole clay product line is a key addition to Allied\'s product lineup,” William M. Opatt, Allied\'s marketing manager and business manager of international sales writes in an email. “It broadens our product offerings to the steel industry, and we are especially excited to introduce the taphole clay product line to international markets through our global sales network.\" Allied, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, currently has 12 manufacturing facilities located in eight countries. Riverside has a manufacturing plant located at its headquarters in Pell City, Ala., and another manufacturing facility located in Ontario, Canada. Medical device tax impacts medical device manufacturers A report from Allied Market Research indicates that global demand for medical ceramics is expected to reach a value of $5,841 million by 2022-a 6.2% increase from $3,850 million in 2015. As the medical device industry grows, so does the demand for ceramic materials-and that is a good thing for the industry. Back in 2013, lawmakers in Washington enacted a 2.3% excise tax on certain medical devices sold in the U.S. to offset the costs of the Affordable Care Act-exceptions being eyeglasses, contact lenses, and hearing aids. In 2015, they imposed a twoyear moratorium on the tax. Congress must now decide whether to continue the tax, which would become effective January 1, 2018. Although 2.3% does not seem like much, it can be a considerable amount for smaller companies and startups that have not yet had time to generate substantial profits. For the CEO of a small biomedical company in Cleveland, Ohio, for example, the cost represented the amount he would have used to hire an employee who could have generated revenue of $300,00-$400,000. A January 2015 study conducted by AdvaMed, a medical advocacy group, found that the tax had considerable negative impacts on jobs and R&D. A little more than half of respondents (53%) said they reduced the amount of funds they would have devoted to R&D. In addition, 75% of respondents said they either deferred or cancelled capital investments and plans to open new facilities, reduced investment in startups, and reduced or deferred employee American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org From surgical implants for hip and other joint replacements, to prosthetics and dental bridges, like this one, ceramics play a big part in the medical industry. compensation increases. And two-thirds said they planned to curtail hiring of new employees. The survey also found that the tax resulted in 4,500 job losses of workers in the medical device industry in 2014. The moratorium actually produced some positives for the industry, as medical device companies now had additional funds to reinvest in their businesses. Last year, the Medical Device Manufacturers Association surveyed its members to gauge the impact of the moratorium\'s effect. Its top findings were that 70% of companies created new jobs during the moratorium, 73% said the moratorium improved their ability to raise capital and funding, and that respondents have increased their R&D budgets by an of 19%. average What does the future hold for medical device companies? While nearly half (46%) said in AdvaMed\'s survey that they might reduce staff if the tax is not repealed, close to three-fourths (71%) said they would restore hiring if the medical device excise tax is repealed. And while 58% said they would consider reducing R&D budgets if the tax continues, 85% of respondents would reinstate R&D projects they had previously put on hold. 5 Oacers spotlight Society and Division news 6 Welcome new corporate partners!

The role of ceramics and glass in the $4 trillion auto industry by April Gocha, Andrea Ross, Faye Oney, and Eileen De Guire Global automotive manufacturing industry revenues are worth an estimated $4 trillion—and ceramic and glass materials play a significant role in this evolving industry. 10 ☐ ver the past century, the tra automobile industry has traversed across the world, with global vehicle sales of over 94 million units in 2016.1 That figure, which includes commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, buses, and coaches, is anticipated to be close to 96 million units in 2017. Industry experts estimate that global automotive manufacturing revenues are worth almost $2 trillion annually, and that number jumps closer to $4 trillion when you consider the entire industry (parts, service, dealers, etc.).2 And projections point to an automotive economy that keeps growing. Looking into the future towards 2030, global consulting firm McKinsey & Company predicts significant growth: \"Driven by shared mobility, connectivity services, and feature upgrades, new business models could expand automotive revenue pools by ~30%, adding up to ~$1.5 trillion.\"3 www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 Looking at the impact of the automotive industry on the landscape of both the global and United States economies reveals a familiar major player-the ceramic and glass industries. In this article, we look at the automotive industry as a whole and the large role ceramics and glass have played in the history—as well as the future of the automobile. AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY DRIVES THE WORLD To get an idea of the volume of cars produced globally, the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers reports that 72.1 million new passenger cars were produced in 2016 in more than 40 different countries. Of these, the top five auto manufacturing countries-China, Japan, Germany, U.S., and Japan— manufactured 45.7 million cars, nearly two-thirds of the entire global production (Figure 1). Besides being a top producer of new cars, China is a top consumer, too. Strong sales in China helped boost global sales for the top three manufacturers in 2016. Volkswagen led the global sales chart for the first time in 2016 (Figure 2). Toyota, a leader on the global sales chart in recent years, was a very close second to Volkswagen. General Motors was third, reporting a record year in sales and profit worldwide for the first time in its more than 100-year-history.4 Annually, Automotive News publishes a \"Top 100” list of global OEM parts suppliers, most of which are large, multinational companies. Between them, the top 100 companies sold about $785 billion worth of parts to the auto industry in 2016.5 The largest company-Bosch (Stuttgart, Germany)—contributed a stunning $46.5 billion. The top 100 list also reveals the truly international character of the automotive supply chain-companies from 18 countries are listed. Not surprisingly, the countries most vested are Japan (29 companies), U.S. (22 companies), and Germany (16 companies). At present, only five Chinese companies are on the top 100 list. Another indicator of the automotive industry\'s global impact is its contribution to R&D. According to the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the automotive industry annually spends $105 billion on R&D worldwide. In comparison, the entire global aerospace and defense industry spent about $21.8 billion on R&D in 2015. In the U.S., 99% of this automotive R&D is generated and funded by the auto industry, with the federal government contributing only 1%. Also, we need to consider global capital investment by the automotive industry. If 72 million new passenger cars were produced and sold globally in 2016, we must consider costs of building and maintaining the plants to produce those vehicles, requiring billions of dollars in investment each year. A recent study by the European Commission on the capital investment (plants and equipment) of 2,500 of the world\'s leading companies found that the automotive industry ($175 billion) as a whole was second only to oil and gas producers ($275 billion) in terms of annual capital investment.7 Impact on America In its 2017 \"State of the U.S. Automotive Industry\" report, the American Automotive Policy Council reported that Americans bought more than 17.5 million cars and trucks. Of those, 12.2 million were produced at one of America\'s 46 automotive assembly plants. Lined up end-to-end, those assembled cars and trucks would stretch almost 37,000 miles or more than 6.5 roundtrip drives from Los Angeles to New York City. According to the Auto Alliance, an advocacy alliance of auto manufacturers, U.S. automotive sales 10.3 million 10.2 million 10.0 million 26.4% Others U.K. U.S. 3.8% 3.9% Germany 5.7% China Japan 7.9% 24.4% GM TOYOTA Figure 1. The top five countries leading passenger car production in 2016 account for nearly two-thirds of the total 72.1 million vehicles produced.\' American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org Figure 2. Worldwide vehicle sales of the top three automotive manufacturers-Volkswagen, Toyota, and General Motors-in 2016.4 11 12 What\'s in and on that car? Table 1. Direct employment in the automotive industry\' Employment sector Automakers Auto dealers Auto suppliers Number of U.S. jobs (millions) 2.44 1.65 3.16 broke the all-time record in 2016 with 17.46 million units sold, a 0.4% increase over 2015\'s 17.39 million.6 In fact, 2016 marked the seventh consecutive year-over-year sales growth, a first in the history of automobile sales. The Center for Automotive Research projects sales to exceed 17 million vehicles per year through 2022. At the same time, U.S. auto production doubled from 5.6 million vehicles in 2009 to 12.2 million vehicles in 2016, and that trend of at least 12 million vehicles per year is expected to continue through 2019 and grow to 13 million by 2020. In other words, the industry is doing well. But what impact does the industry have on the U.S. as a whole? According to selectusa.gov, the industry historically accounts for 3.0%-3.5% of U.S. gross domestic product and comprises the largest sector for manufacturing jobs in the U.S.\" Auto Alliance reports that the auto industry, which includes manufacturers, parts manufacturers and suppliers, and dealerships, directly supports more than six million jobs (Table 1).6 The automotive industry is the top U.S. exporter, just ahead of the aerospace industry. Exports of cars and parts amounting to over $99 billion were shipped from U.S. ports in 2015, almost double the $50.8 billion of auto products America exported just over a decade ago.6 When we think of the automotive industry, we typically think of individuals in automotive factories working on the assembly line to build cars and trucks. While automakers are the most visible part of the industry, auto manufacturing encompasses many diverse businesses coast to coast. As a result, 45 of 50 U.S. states have more than 10,000 auto-related jobs, and 20 of those states have more than 100,000 auto jobs. In addition, auto-related suppliers are headquartered in virtually every state, and half of the companies listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average depend on autos for revenue.6 Auto manufacturing drives $953 billion into the economy each year through sales and servicing of autos. That money flows through the economy, from revenue to parts suppliers to paychecks for assembly plant workers, from income for auto-related small business to revenue for government. According to Auto Alliance, auto production remains the country\'s largest manufacturing sector, with 13 automakers operating 44 assembly plants across 14 states. Jobs related to the auto industry go far beyond designing, building, and selling vehicles. The automotive industry buys hundreds of billions of dollars worth of American steel, glass, rubber, iron, and semiconductors each year.? Each assembled vehicle contains anywhere from 8,000 to 12,000 components, and as many as 15,000 individual parts. Figure 3 shows the relative weight distribution of materials in a vehicle. Glass and ceramics (in the ‘Other Materials\' category) contribute relatively little to the overall weight, but much in terms of function, as Figure 4 illustrates. 10 9 CERAMICS AND GLASS IN THE DRIVER SEAT Annual global production of 72.1 million vehicles means glass and ceramic companies around the globe supply 72.1 Pounds of Material Per Vehicle 4,500 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 Other Materials Glass Fluids & Lubricants Textiles ■ Coatings ■Rubber Plastics/Plastic Composites Other Metals ■ Powder Metal Zinc Castings ■Lead ■ Copper and Brass Magnesium Castings ■ Aluminum ■Iron Castings ■ Other Steels ■Stainless Steel ■High & Medium Strength Steel ■Regular Steel 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 220 2012 2013 2014 Figure 3.

In other words, a healthy automotive industry is good for the ceramic and glass industry. According to market research firm Research and Markets, the global automotive ceramic market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.52% during 2017-2022.11 Although North America is the biggest player in the ceramics market, Japan, India, and China are projected to experience strong growth during the period. A February 2017 Research and Markets report forecasts growth of the global automotive glass market at a CAGR of nearly 6.7% in the next ten years, reaching $32.5 billion by 2025. Table 2 shows estimates of market size and growth projections for a few major ceramic- and glass-based components. 12 Exactly how much monetary value the ceramic and glass industry contributes to today\'s automotive industry is impossible to isolate. Tables 3 and 4 provide revenue data for automotive suppliers for representative companies whose product portfolio includes products or systems that use ceramic or glass. Table 5 lists select ceramic and glass companies that supply the auto industry, often with components to top 100 companies.

For example, a household that owns a Bosch dishwasher may well have a car in the garage with Bosch sensors, spark plugs, or brake pads. Bosch brings in about $84.9 billion annually, with about $46.5 billion coming from its Mobility Solutions division. In addition to supplying automotive components, the ceramic and glass industry contributes to the automotive supply chain in the form of ceramic cutting tools, polishing materials, refractories, weld rods, etc. New auto designs use advanced high strength steels, which require new materials solutions in the steel plant. The sidebar on page 20 presents a glimpse into how ArcelorMittal, one of the world\'s largest steel suppliers to the auto industry, is using ceramic materials it its manufacture of new lightweight steels. 14 www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 ss in a modern automobile S or to increase durability. ed for positive electrode XEV power plectronics High-power, high efficiency silicon carbide IGBTs to transfer power to electric motor.

Advanced ceramics Traditional ceramics Credit: William A. Paxton, Ford Motor Company 2017 INNOVATIONS AND TRENDS STEERING THE AUTOMOTIVE MARKET The automotive industry is undergoing a major evolution. \"As they develop new software options, cars are evolving into computers on wheels, a change similar to events in the computer industry 20 years ago and the cellphone industry 10 years ago,\" according to McKinsey & Company. 13 \"As a result, we anticipate that a complex ecosystem will emerge in the automotive sector.\" Some of the major forces influencing the industry are technology integration, lightweighting efforts, and the emergence of electric and autonomous vehicles. And because the automotive industry is incredibly large and diverse, with tendrils reaching into many different material, component, and consumer markets, the effects of this evolving ecosystem stretch wide. The emergence of a complex ecosystem means huge opportunities are arising for some markets, forcing shifts in others and inevitably shrinking still other markets. American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 15 What\'s in and on that car? Four trends propelling innovation in the automotive industry will impact the ceramic and glass industry: lightweighting, electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and connectivity. Skinny cars-Lightweighting Lightweighting efforts can significantly enhance vehicle efficiency because the effects are additive-for every 10 pounds cut from the weight of the body, another 10 pounds can also be shed from other parts of the now lighter vehicle, according to an MIT Technology Review article. 15 For instance, lighter vehicles require smaller engines, downgraded suspensions, and a less robust structure. However, further weight reduction is increasingly difficult, because much of the low-hanging fruit has already been picked. Eliminating weight by reducing vehicle size is nearing its limit, leaving further weight reductions to improvements in materials themselves. According to the U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Office, “Using lightweight components and high-efficiency engines enabled by advanced materials in one quarter of the U.S. fleet could save more than 5 billion gallons of fuel annually by 2030.\"16 Thus, vehicle lightweighting creates new or expanded opportunities for lighter materials, including advanced high strength steels, aluminum and its composites, titanium, glass-fiber composites, magnesium, and carbon fiber and its composites, for example. Replacing traditional iron and steel components with aluminum, high-strength steel, or glass fiber-reinforced composites can decrease weight by 10-60%, while magnesium or carbon fiber composites can achieve 50-75% weight reductions.\" Although no one material is likely to completely replace steel in future lightweight vehicles, each material\'s weight reduction potential (Table 6) and specific properties dictate its potential for incorporation in a wide array of vehicle positions and functions. \"You\'re going to see aluminum on more products, especially doors and hoods, from Ford and from our competitors,\" Matt Zaluzec, Ford\'s technical leader of global materials and manufacturing research, says in an Automotive World article.18 \"It\'s about creativity-are there places in a steel vehicle where I can introduce mixed materials? Or an aluminum vehicle with steel or carbon fiber reinforcements?\" Even small weight reductions on a per vehicle basis add up quickly when multiplied across 72.1 million vehicles annually. How might ceramic and glass materials—not generally thought of as featherweights-help slim down vehicles? Of necessity, we drive around a lot of window glass, and all of it located above the vehicle\'s center of gravity. According to a Materials Technical Team Roadmap published in February 2015 by the US Drive Partnership, lightweight glazing alternatives must overcome hurdles associated with cost, manufacturability, durability, and regulations. 19 Remaining technical challenges include reduction of noise transmission and increasing durability to meet performance requirements. Corning estimates up to 50 pounds of glass could be eliminated by replacing traditional soda-lime glass with chemically strengthened glass, such as its Gorilla Glass. 20 Ford partnered with Corning to integrate Table 4.

Every wheel is outfitted with a braking system, and cast iron brakes weigh about nine pounds apiece. REL (Calumet, Mich.) has developed a functionally graded aluminum metal matrix composite disc brake reinforced with ceramic. The composite brakes weigh about five pounds apiece, and they last about four times as long. According to the company website, the composite \"enables the placement of a higher volume loading of ceramic in one area and a lower volume loading in another. For a brake disc application, this enables high loading of ceramic on the outer perimeter where the disc is moving the fastest, generating the most heat, and a lower loading inward, which helps the disc maintain flatness and minimize fade in long braking events.\" More opportunities exist for metal matrix composites to reduce vehicle weight. Metals reinforced with ceramic fibers, whiskers, or particles offer improved properties such as tensile and compressive properties, creep stability, tunable thermal expansion, and wear resistance, which could allow increased application-specific incorporation in lightweight vehicles.21 Federal Mogul revealed in 2017 plans to use high thermal conductivity and thermal interface coating materials to protect engine valves, which is particularly important in downsized engines. These unspecified coating materials can reduce valve head temperatures by up to 70°C for better combustion with lower emissions, in addition to reducing wear.²² Designers want to trim weight from less obvious areas, too.

However, with those alternative materials, cost remains a major obstacle. \"Seats are so optimized right now in steel, and it\'s such an inexpensive material, that it\'s very hard to find a replacement,\" according to an Automotive World article. 18 Perhaps surprisingly, automobile wiring harnesses can even add considerable heft to a vehicle-the weight of a large adult-driving automakers to consider alternative materials for interconnects, including aluminum, thinner copper coated wires, and fiber optics. 18 These technologies are not ready for integration, but represent a future target for additional targets for vehicle lightweighting efforts. Novel opportunities exist for reducing weight as well. Sofegi Group (Milan, Italy) and Audi (Ingolstadt, Germany) Table 5.

Road buzz-Electric vehicles Lightweighting efforts only go so far to reduce emissions, and beyond incremental improvements in reducing vehicle emissions, many countries have committed to eliminating vehicle emissions completely by reducing reliance on the internal combustion engine. The world\'s most populous countries, India and China, are taking definitive steps towards cleaner air by eliminating future sales of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The U.K. and France will entirely ban sales of new cars powered by gasoline or diesel by 2040, with Austria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Korea, and Spain all on board with similar policy shifts. Perhaps the most aggressive policy comes from Norway, which will require all new passenger vehicles to have zero emissions by 2025. As the world\'s biggest automotive market, China exerts heavy influence on the entire industry. China has already mandated that automakers meet a minimum score based on sales of reduced emission vehicles starting in 2019. China\'s government has a goal to become the biggest world player in new energy vehicles, setting the stage for a quiet revolution in the automotive industry, according to a National Public Radio story. 24 More than 140 Chinese companies currently manufacture electric vehicle batteries, compared to only about half a dozen elsewhere in the world. Policies to lower emission standards, rising consumer acceptance, reduced battery costs, and increasing availability of electric charging stations all contribute to the gaining momentum of electric vehicles (EV). Morgan Stanley analysts predict the electric vehicle share of the global automotive market will rise slowly for the next ten years, but take off nearly ten-fold by 2050 (Figure 5).25 GM, one of the world\'s largest automakers with 10 million cars sold in 2016, will debut two new electric vehicle models by early 2019 as part of its more comprehensive plan to sell 20 all-electric vehicle models by 2023. “GM believes the future is all electric, a world free of automotive emissions,\" Mark Reuss, executive vice president of global product development at GM, says in a Bloomberg Technology article. 26 \"It\'s real.\" New vehicle production 150 ¡ Projected total vehicles 99 million 86.5 million 50 132 million 107 million 102 million Projected electric/vehicles 9.6 million 0.9 million 2.8 million 0 2017 2020 2025 Year 2050 Figure 5. Morgan Stanley predicts that electric vehicles will command a growing proportion of the global automotive market over the coming decades, accounting for 81% of new vehicles produced in 2050. Currently, electric vehicles account for just 1.1% of new vehicle production.25 18 www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards The U.S. first enacted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in 1975. With automaker support, the Obama administration in 2012 set relatively aggressive fuel economy standards for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles for model years 2017-2025. Those standards are set to incrementally increase vehicle fuel efficiency to an average of 54.5 mpg by 2025.14 300 200 Light truck emission target (g/mi) Combined emission target (g/mi) Passenger car emission target (g/mi) 100 35.5 36.6 38.3 40.0 41.7 44.7 46.8 49.4 52.0 54.5 Combined fuel efficiency (mpg) 0 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Current CAFE standards have set incremental targets to reduce automotive emissions for new passenger cars and light trucks through model year 2025, with a combined emission target of 163 grams of carbon dioxide per mile (g/ mi) by 2025. Those targets equate to a combined fuel efficieny target of 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2025.14 Does the rise of EVs signal the end of the line for the internal combustion engine? A 2015 National Research Council report on fuel economy technologies for light-duty vehicles predicts that the gas-fueled spark ignition engine is likely to dominate the U.S. light-duty vehicle market through 2025.27 And, according to a McKinsey & Company perspective of the automotive market towards 2030, \"It is important to note that electrified vehicles include a large portion of hybrid electrics, which means that even beyond 2030 the internal combustion engine will remain very relevant.”³ Nonetheless, despite the growing popularity of EVs, the electric powertrain concept is not new-automobiles were battery-powered until the invention of the electric starter made the internal combustion engine possible. But, today\'s EVs bear as much resemblance to their ancestors as eagles do to pterodactyls. Today\'s internal combustion engines have some 2,000 moving parts, and EVs have around 20.28 The rise of EVs will affect markets built around these components-as well as their maintenance and replacement-for both powertrain types. EV technology also opens new opportunities for ceramic and glass materials, particularly in batteries. A 2017 Transparency Market Research report predicts the global automotive battery market will reach $54.5 billion by 2022. Lithium-ion batteries are expected to remain the top-selling battery type, although competing compositions are expected to gain momentum in the near future.29 \"Current battery technology will only get us so far,\" according to Will Paxton, materials research engineer at Ford Research and Innovation Center (Dearborn, Mich.). \"Ford is investing in basic and applied science, and looking beyond lithium-based technol ogies.\" Ford announced plans in January 2017 to invest $4.5 billion by 2020 to build its EV business. 30 R&D into new battery compositions and different types of batAmerican Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org teries will become increasingly important, as the market demands safer batteries with more energy density. Researchers are looking at alternative battery technologies, such as flow batteries, beta-alumina and lithium-lanthanum-zirconium-oxide fast ion conductor solid electrolytes, and sodium-sulfur batteries, to determine their suitability for EVs. Other materials solutions under investigation include ceramic membrane materials impervious to lithium metal and MXenes-2-D transition metal carbides—for electrodes. 31 Battery research for EVs is a national priority in the U.S. The Department of Energy announced in July 2017 plans to award $19.4 million to accelerate advanced vehicle technologies, particularly advanced batteries, lightweight materials, engine technologies, and energy efficient mobility systems.³ Fifteen of the 22 funded projects focus on new battery materials and efforts to boost energy capacities of lithium technologies, with goals of smaller, safer, lighter, and less expensive batteries for EVs. Beyond better batteries, other technical barriers to solve for electric motors include price volatility of magnets and rare-earth elements, performance of non-rare-earth electric motors, and material property optimization, according to a US DRIVE Electrical and Electronics Technical Team Roadmap. 32 NdFeB magnets in electric traction drive systems account for 20%-30% of total electric motor costs, so reducing these costs would help reduce overall costs of EVs. New systems that eliminate rare-earth magnets through incorporation of improved materials, such as silicon steel, ultra-conductive copper, and improved thermal materials, offer potential to reduce costs and enhance performance of electric motors. Further, advanced thermal management systems-which ceramic materials are particularly well-suited-are an R&D priority to decrease the size and cost and increase the reliability of electric motors, according to the roadmap. 19 What\'s in and on that car? 20 20 A changing role for ceramics in steel plants? Helping steelmakers produce lightweight, advanced high strength steels Automobile designers reduce weight by using advanced ArcelorMittal high strength steels (AHSS) in areas where alternative materials lack necessary mechanical properties, such as high stiffness or high energy absorption. ArcelorMittal, a multinational steel and mining company, produces multiple grades of AHSS for automakers. According to Matt Kremer, division manager for operations technology at ArcelorMittal\'s plant in Cleveland, Ohio, the market for AHSS is expanding rapidly, with new grades being developed every year. The Cleveland plant began selling AHSS to the automotive industry in 2010. Between 2012 and 2016, Kremer says AHSS production grew from 75k tons to 400k tons, just at the Cleveland plant. Cleveland processes all AHSS through its hot-dip galvanizing line, and ceramic materials help solve a variety of issues specific to AHSS. For example, air knives control coating weight on steel strips continuously rolling through the zinc pot. Zinc dust can build up on the ceramic rolls in that part of the line. Trials with new boron nitride-coated stainless steel rolls show promise for reducing buildup. Also in the hot-dip galvanizing line, chromium from chromium carbide-coated bridle rolls in the gas jet cooling section can react with manganese and silica oxide phases that form on the AHSS surface, leaving complex oxide deposits on the bridle roll. These deposits may then imprint dimples into fresh steel as it is processed. \"We are considering a new coating that contains a higher volume fraction of ceramic phases to better resist these mixed oxide formations,\" says Kremer. At present, AHSS comprises only 12% of overall steel production at the Cleveland plant. Thus, production of other steels drives refractory selection through most of the process. Kremer notes that AHSS alloys used today were developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and new, highly alloyed steels are in development. \"Refractory requirements for those products are going to be different,\" Kremer says. \"There are definitely opportunities [for new refractories]. As we move as an industry to more specialty products, there\'s going to be more of a need.\" Basic oxygen furnace. Credit: ArcelorMittal Undesignated driver-Autonomous vehicles Autonomous vehicles-so called self-driving cars-are a disruptive influencer coming quickly on the horizon. Most major automakers are making big investments in driverless technology. In early 2017, Ford announced plans to introduce a hybrid engine autonomous vehicle in 2021, targeted initially at the North American ridesharing market. 30 Bosch and Daimler AG, thinking similarly, formed a partnership in April 2017 to produce driverless taxis. 33 McKinsey & Company predicts fully autonomous vehicles will not be commercially available prior to 2020, and vehicle control will transition incrementally from the driver to the car through partially autonomous technologies via advanced driver assistance systems, such as self-parking and collision avoidance systems.³ In the four years from 2016 to 2020, the number of vehicles with collision avoidance systems will rise from 10.9 million to 85.9 million, Automotive News reports.\" Getting autonomous vehicles to market will be a long, expensive road. R&D efforts are well underway by automakers and their big suppliers to develop artificial intelligence, mapping technologies, cameras, sensors, onboard computers, etc. Already, a lot of money is involved. Automotive News reported that Bosch, the largest company on the top 100 list, sold more than $1.2 billion of products in 2016 for collision avoidance systems, including sensors, actuators, and software. Bosch reportedly plans to invest $336 million to develop artificial intelligence for autonomous vehicles in the next five years.5 How soon will consumers be able to take one out for a test ride? A Boston Consulting Group analysis predicts 12 million fully autonomous vehicles will be sold annually around the world by 2035, with 18 million partially autonomous vehicles sold by the same time. 34 Together, vehicles with varying degrees of autonomous features are expected to account for 25% of new vehicles by 2035. The combined market is expected to grow from $42 billion by 2025 to $77 billion by 2035. However, that timeline is subject to technical, infrastructure, and regulatory challenges, which are not insignificant for this technology. What ceramics and glass will automakers need to make the dream a reality? \"Autonomous car systems require a lot of sensors and a lot of computational power. It will take a lot of electrical power and computational power to drive them,\" according to Ford\'s Will Paxton. That means sensors, camera lenses, electrical components (capacitors, dielectrics, resistors, etc.) for the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems, electronic packaging, dashboard controls, and onboard computers, to name a few. For example, autonomous vehicle development is growing the market for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors, due to increasing dependence on visual data to inform autonomous vehicles of their surroundings. According to a September 2017 article in Photonics Spectra, the automotive market is expected to drive a $1.83 billion increase in CMOS sensor revenue during 2015-2020.35 LiDAR sensors, just like many other sensor types, are complex systems that integrate ceramic and glass components throughout the sensing system. For example, LiDAR sensors www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 PARE Credit: LeddarTech Figure 6. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology detects objects and measures distances and speeds using infrared light. that enable Google\'s self-driving vehicle use 64 laser beams to collect 1.3 million readings per minute, which the vehicle\'s on-board computing system then integrates into a 3-D model of the environment for the vehicle to navigate (Figure 6).36 This requires cameras, radar systems, ultrasonic sensors, gyroscopes, altimeters, and tachymeters, in addition to a CPU to process all that data. LiDAR systems represent an area ripe for potential future growth of component markets, as technical demands drive innovation to improve existing sensing technologies. How much is hard to say, however, a 2017 Markets and Markets report predicts that the automotive LiDAR market will grow to a value of $735 million by 2025.37 Recent investments and business activity testify to this future growth. Velodyne (San Jose, Calif.), a company currently leading the market for automobile LiDAR technology, announced in October 2017 that it is quadrupling its LiDAR production to meet increasing global demand. 38 Also in October 2017, GM took steps to secure its future in autonomous vehicle development with the acquisition of Californiabased LiDAR startup company Strobe Inc. 39 Integration by parts-Connectivity Industry observers see adding your car to the Internet of Things (IoT) as a game-changing trend and liken the current state of the connected automotive market to where the smartphone market was in 2010. It comes as no surprise then that manufacturers with roots in consumer electronics are edging into the automotive sector, with companies like Samsung, Sharp, Kyocera, and LG Display seeing new opportunities for themselves in our cars. \"They know how to build a phone, and they know how to build consumer electronics,\" IHS analyst Mark Boyadjis says in an Automotive News article from June 2016. “Now they are looking to grab a larger piece of the pie and start shipping directly to the automakers.\"40 Business Insider Intelligence predicts that 82% of the 94 million cars shipped in 2021 will be IoT connected.41 That growth translates to a whopping CAGR of 35% from 2016 levels. In total, 381 million connected cars are expected to be on the roads by 2020, generating $8.1 trillion during 2015-2020. Onboard electronics-which rely heavily on ceramic and glass materials—already occupy a huge share of the automobile market. Statista data estimates that electronics account for about a third of the cost of a vehicle today, and could to rise to 50% by 2030.42 In particular, the sensor segment of the automotive market is expected to grow rapidly to meet the demands of integrating technology into nearly every aspect of vehicles, including safety, autonomy, and connectivity features. Auto manufacturers will use an estimated 10 billion sensors—including pressure, temperature, speed, position, gas, and image sensors-annually by 2020, driven by the demand for data acquisition.43 A 2017 Research and Markets report says that the sensor market will grow at a CAGR of 8.4% to reach a market value of $48.3 billion by 2025, propelled by demand for fuel efficient systems, adoption of driver assist and autonomous systems, safety, and emerging technologies.44 According to an October 2017 Electrical and Electronics Technical Team Roadmap from US DRIVE, a remaining technical barrier for automotive power electronics is the need for higher thermal tolerances. High-performance materials with American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 21 What\'s in and on that car? high-temperature capabilities-which ceramic materials excel at-will help address these close these barriers and advance further integration of power electronics. 32 Although backup cameras are standard in many new models today, future vehicles may also incorporate more cameras in more vehicle positions to reduce blind spots and enhance safety. For example, display screens integrated into A-pillarsthe vertical supports between a vehicle\'s windshield and front windows-could allow live camera feeds to replace side mirrors. Similar live camera-fed rearview displays could enhance viewing angles and field of vision. All this integration calls for more in-vehicle displays as well, with enhanced sophistication of the sort Corning imagines with its all-glass dashboard concept. The technology indicates it is possible-thin and durable glass compositions, such as Gorilla Glass, and advanced OLED displays offer thin and rich displays as a replacement to bulky panels, allowing display screens to be incorporated in new spaces. Entirely new designs may take hold as well. For example, AGC will introduce an innovative curved touchscreen glass display in the cockpit of the new Audi A8.45 The business opportu nity is not chump change-an IHS Automotive forecast estimates cockpit displays (including center display screens, instrument clusters, and heads-up displays) will generate $18.6 billion in revenue in 2021, an 84% increase from 2017 figures.46 Some new technology ideas connect only to the humans who will occupy vehicles, whether as drivers or passengers. For example, automakers are using more solar reflective glasses to reduce heat in cars and privacy glass, according to Technavio. 47 Some automakers are even working to integrate solar cells directly into automoREFERENCES ¹International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), \"2005-2016 sales statistics”.

FAILURE: THE GREATEST TEACHER The vast majority of scientific literature and conference talks report positive results, but there\'s a lot to be learned from negative results and missteps as well. After the \"successful\" part of the meeting closes, come hear recognized leaders in the field discuss failure—and perhaps recount some of their most spectacular learning experiences-during a frank and friendly discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. Speakers and audience alike are encouraged to check their egos at the door for this event that has turned into an EAM highlight. BASIC SCIENCE DIVISION TUTORIAL Defect chemistry in perovskite ceramics and its impact on materials processing and properties In functional ceramics, defect chemistry is of outstanding importance for materials properties. For example, electric or ion conductivity of ceramics is governed by point defects. But, other effects-ferroelectricity and optical properties—are impacted by defects, and microstructural evolution is closely linked to defect chemistry. However, because many applications of functional ceramics involve polycrystalline materials, a deep understanding of bulk defect chemistry needs to be extended to the existence of charged interfaces and space charge at interfaces. This tutorial gives a comprehensive introduction to defect chemistry of functional ceramics in general and perovskites in particular. Reasons for the existence of charged interfaces and space charge and its interplay with defect chemistry are reviewed. Finally, the impact of these concepts on materials properties and processing is highlighted. Talks illustrate the most important tools in this field and give examples for their application.

In addition, the industry has experienced many changes in materials and process development, from conventional solvent coatings in past decades to greener coatings in the present and from hand spraying to robotic spraying. BCC Research projects that the global market for automotive coatings will grow from nearly $20.2 billion in 2015 to almost $26.0 billion in 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2016-2021 (Table 1). Solvent-based automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coatings accounted for the major share-nearly 69.2% of the total market for automotive OEM coating in 2015. Waterborne and powder automotive OEM coatings accounted for 28.2% and 2.6%, respectively, but are expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 10% during 2016-2021. The demand for waterborne automotive OEM coatings is rising due to their low VOC content. Stringent environmental laws in the United States and Europe have driven the waterborne coatings market in these regions, which accounted for nearly 70% of the 2015 market. Powder automotive coatings are still in their early stages, but are being used in luxury and sports cars. Globally, increasing vehicle production in countries including China, Mexico, Indonesia, Japan, the U.S., South Korea, Germany, and India along 30 Table 1. Global market for automotive coatings by technology, through 2021 ($ millions) Technology Table 2.

Economic and political pressures in Japan, Europe, and other regions have led to heavy investments in the automotive production sector in North America, mainly in Mexico and the U.S., to expand production capacity. The North American market segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% during 2016-2021, reaching almost $3.0 billion by 2021. Continuing demand for new vehicles in the Asia-Pacific region, despite declining gross domestic product figures in China and India, has led to strong demand in the OEM coating market. In terms of size, the Asia-Pacific region has remained the largest market region since 2011. In 2016, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for $5.4 billion, or 50.7%, of the global automotive coating market, which was attributed to continuing demand for new vehicles and moderate recovery of the overall economy. The region\'s market is expected to increase at a CAGR of 3.0% during 2016-2021, reaching close to $6.3 billion by 2021. The European market remained sluggish through 2016 and is expected to recover slowly. Strong automotive markets, such as Germany and France, showed some signs of recovery but were offset by declines in the Southern European market. The automotive OEM coating market in Europe earned revenues of $1.8 billion in 2016. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during 2016-2021, reaching nearly $2.5 billion in 2021. Increasing domestic demand in Brazil for new vehicles, supported by Argentina, Venezuela, and Colombia, has resulted in an increase in the automotive OEM coating market in South America to $545.7 million in 2016. Although South America represents significantly smaller markets for automotive coatings, it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% for 2016-2021, with the markets reaching $787.8 million by 2021. Although the rest of the world represents significantly smaller markets for automotive coatings, the 2016-2021 CAGR for these regions is expected to reach 8.2%, with the markets reaching $552.7 million by 2021. Growing global demand for new vehicles coupled with expected recovery of the European market in the next five years will drive the automotive OEM coating market through 2021. Increasing R&D investments along with ongoing product development to improve the performance of coatings is expected to augment the market\'s growth. However, fluctuation in prices of raw materials, including pigments, resins, titanium oxides, and other additives, is expected to restrain market growth.

Tanaji Paul Guest columnist Recent trends in is simpler than with other manufacturing techniques, thereby considerably reducing production costs. Beyond these spark plasma sintered considerations, spark plasma sintering ceramic thermal barrier coatings Rivers from sources miles apart and traversing widely different regions and terrain often converge into one. I was surprised to realize that the same could be true for markedly different engineering spheres-and the fact that my graduate research was a part of the flow made it even more pleasant. My masters research in India exposed me to thermal barrier coating materials, an exciting class of refractory oxide ceramics utilized in gas-turbine engines that enable them to operate at increasingly higher temperatures and thus continuously improving efficiencies. Then, during my doctoral research in the United States, I plunged into the materials processing technique of spark plasma sintering, where a high-density pulsed direct current and resulting temperature from Joule heating are used to consolidate powders of various materials. I was astonished to learn that spark plasma sintering can also fabricate ceramic thermal barrier coatings and is currently attracting significant attention in the scientific community. The streams of research that I was exposed to in countries miles apart and that traversed completely different parts of my academic career had eventually merged together. During this sojourn, it was awe-inspiring to recognize the advantages of spark plasma sintering. In general, conventional consolidation techniques squeeze energy into a powder system, usually in the form of pressure and temperature, and provide flexibility in processing components with a broad span of shapes and sizes. Additionally, quality control drives additional energy in the form of an electrical current, providing unique advantages, such as high heating rates, low sintering temperatures, and short sintering cycles. Therefore, the properties of the initial powder and a fine microstructure can either be preserved in the final product or tailored to specific application requirements. Current trends in the fabrication of ceramic thermal barrier coatings primarily focus on solving the problem of failure of these materials by delamination. This is critical because spalling of these materials exposes metallic components to the extremely high temperatures in gas-turbine engines. Therefore, one chief motivation in thermal barrier coating research is to improve fracture toughness, both intrinsic and at high temperatures. One novel approach is to engineer \'self-healing\' cracks by reinforcing the coating materials with particles that, upon oxidation, yield an amorphous product. As a crack initiates at the surface and expands to meet the particle, oxygen reacts with the particle to produce an amorphous oxide. At high temperatures, the viscosity of this oxide is very low and can easily flow into the crack and fill it up, preventing it from opening. A more recent scope of investigation is multilayered or functionally graded thermal barrier coatings, where the aforementioned intelligent tailoring can be achieved in a much more measured and gradual manner by incorporating corresponding properties at different sections of the coating. Spark plasma sintering enables a more straightforward one-step net-shape manufacturing method to fabricate these materials as compared to other techniques. Although the scientific literature exhibits a considerable amount of work done in this sphere, it seems we have just skimmed the surface—there exists huge potential for further improvement in the properties and performance of thermal barrier coatings fabricated by spark plasma sintering.
