Abstract
The components in this application utilize advanced ceramics, which are homogeneous rather than crystalline. This feature allows strong, fine detail parts of great definition, that remain stable and have extraordinary wear resistant characteristics. The Porcupine Pin is a solid-bodied extrusion from a surface through a surface or tangent to a surface. The homogeneous features give extreme durability and equalized flow characteristics. The porcupine pin may be created in other shapes, where within it is embedded ferrite material to form a part that is an electromagnet sensitive or magnetically stable, while exhibiting excellent sliding ability and a precision of detail. These features also allow exceptional miniaturization of magnetically active parts called a Cerfite.
