Structure Properties And Applications Of Ceramics

Glass ceramics can range from highly crystalline to containing a more substantial glassy phase.

Structure properties and applications of ceramics.

Applications compared to metals and plastics ceramics are hard non combustible and inert. These are typical properties. Thus they can be used in high temperature corrosive and tribological applications. Usually they are metal oxides that is compounds of metallic elements and oxygen but many ceramics.

It is now possible to prepare ceramics using a wide range of properties and as an area this field has evolved as a very broad scientific and technical. Industrial ceramics are commonly understood to be all industrially used materials that are inorganic nonmetallic solids. The table below provides a summary of the main properties of ceramics and glass. In fact properties of ceramics and glass can be tailored to specific applications by modifying composition including creating composite materials with metals and polymers and by changing processing parameters.

Crystallographic lattice mismatch between the ceramic and metal. The glass partially crystallises and the glass ceramic develops a structure comprising an amorphous glassy phase and at least one embedded crystalline phase 1. Modern ceramic materials differ from the traditional materials which were only based on natural substances.
