HIGH FRACTURE TOUGHNESS CERAMIC SUPPORT NUT PLATE AND GANG CHANNEL

摘要

A nut plate (10) and a gang channel (78) are constructed of ceramic material. In one version, the nut plate (10) and gang channel (78) are constructed of aluminum oxide ceramic material reinforced with silicon-carbide crystal whiskers. In another version, the nut plate (10) and gang channel (78) are constructed of silicon- nitride.
