  2. Matrix: Ceramics • Contents • Atomic bonding and crystal structures • Mechanical Properties • Application and processing

  3. Matrix: CeramicsAtomic bonding and crystal structures Bond • Most ceramics are composed of at least two elements • Atomic bonding: • ironic • covalent, • many ceramics exhibit a combination of these two bonding types For several ceramic materials, percent ionic character of the inter-atomic bonds

  6. Matrix: CeramicsAtomic bonding and crystal structures Silica SiO2 • Polymorphism: a material has more than one crystal structures • SiO2 slowly cooling at Tm melting point, Crystal structure: quartz, density of 2.65g/cm3, melting point 1710C, (a, b) • SiO2 fast cooling at Tm melting point, e.g.Glass: amorphous (c) Si4+O2- (a) A unit cell of Quartz (b) Crystal SiO2 (c) Amorphous SiO2 Traditional Ceramics: Amorphous

Maatrix: CeramicsAtomic bonding and crystal structures Carbon: In various polymorphic forms Diamond • A metastable carbon polymorph at room T and atmospheric pressure • C bonds to 4 other C (covalent) • Hard, low electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity • Large single crystals are used as gem stone; diamonds are utilized to grind or cut other materials in industries. • Produce synthetic diamonds have been developed since 1950’s, such as, singe crystal or diamond films A unit cell for diamond SEM photo of a diamond thin film

  8. Matrix: CeramicsAtomic bonding and crystal structures Graphite: a polymorph of carbon • more stable than diamond at ambient temperature and pressure • C atom bonds to three C within a layer by covalent bonds and the 4th bonding electron participates in a weak van der Waals type of bond between the layers. • The excellent lubricative properties; electrical conductivity in the directions parallel to the sheets; high resistance to thermal shock (thermal shock: damage due to change in temperature) • Density: 2Mg/m3 • Application: Heating elements in electric furnace, motor brushes, casting molds. Structure of graphite

  9. Matrix: Ceramicsmechanical properties Mechanical properties • Brittle fracture of ceramics • Very small flaws in materials • Crack growth in crystalline ceramics is through the grains and along specific crystallographic planes with high atomic density • Low strengths under tensile load, due to crack • Higher strength under compressive load, due to no stress amplification with any existent flaws. σm=2σ0(a/t)1/2

  10. Matrix: Ceramics-mechanical properties • It is difficult to do tensile test for ceramics • Difficult to prepare a tensile specimen (hard, brittle) • Difficult to alignment in the tensile test. (only 0.1% strain) • 3-point bend test: at the point of loading, the top surface in a state of compression and bottom surface in a state of tension stress (stress) = Mc/I Where M=maximum bending moment c=distance form center of specimen to outer fibers I=moment of inertia of cross section F=applied load Rectangular circular A three-point loading for measuring the stress-strain behavior

  11. Matrix: Ceramics-mechanical properties • Flexural strength (挠曲强度): Stress at fracture in 3-point bend test. • Elastic moduli for ceramics are slightly larger than those for metals. Typical stress-strain behavior fracture for aluminum oxide and glass

  12. Matrix: Ceramics-mechanical properties Mechanical properties related to porous in materials E=E0(1-1.9P+0.9P2) E: elastic modulus of materials E0: elastic modulus of nonporous materials P: volume fraction porosity fs=0exp(-nP) fs: the flexural strength 0 and n: are experimental constants P: volume fraction porosity

  13. Matrix: Ceramics-mechanical properties Mechanisms of plastic deformation • Crystalline ceramics • Motion of dislocation • Very few slip systems due to predominant ionic bonding. • Complex dislocation structures • Non-crystalline ceramics • Plastic deformation be viscous flow, similar to liquid. • Atom or ions slide past one another by the breaking and reforming of inter-atomic bonds.

  14. Matrix: Ceramics-application and processing Ceramics: high melting point, Processing? Ceramic fabrication techniques • Traditional ceramics • Glass • Cement • Technical ceramics: • Forming processes • Initial shape, drying and firing • Sol-gel Processes • Vapor Processing

  15. Matrix: Ceramics-application and processing (glass) Glass: SiO2 + other oxide, non-crystalline • No significant melting point, a glass becomes more and more viscous in a continuous manner with decreasing temperature • Tg: glass transform temperature • Supercooled liquid at T>Tg and glass at T< Tg Contrast of specific volume versus temperature behavior of crystalline and non-crystalline materials

  16. Matrix: Ceramics-application and processing (glass)

  17. Matrix: Ceramics-application and processing (glass) • Melting point: viscosity is 102P. the glass is fluid enough. • Working point: viscosity is 104P. the glass is easily deformed. • Softening point: viscosity is 4x107P. Glass piece may be handled without causing significant dimensional change. • Annealing point: Viscosity is 1013P. Atomic diffusion is sufficiently rapid that residual stresses may be removed in 15 min. • Strain point: viscosity is 3x1014P. Fracture occur before plastic deformation Logarithm of viscosity versus temperature for glasses

  18. Matrix: Ceramics-application and processing (glass) Glass forming • Melting: Quartz sand is heated at high temperature, adding other oxide materials. • Forming: pressing (similar to metal), blowing, drawing • Annealing: when material is cooled from high temperature to room temperature, internal stresses may be introduced as a result of the differences in cooling rate and contraction between the surface and interior regions. The internal stresses can weaken materials (especially for brittle materials). It’s important for slowly cooling. If cooling rate for a glass is too fast, annealing is needed. (T at annealing point)

  19. Matrix: Ceramics-application and processing (glass) Glass ceramics • glasses containing TiO2 are changed the structure form noncrystalline to fine-grained polycrystalline materials (glass ceramics) after a proper high temperature heat treatment (devitrification). • Glass ceramics have less thermal stress during cooling and high thermal conductivity. • Application: ovenware, tableware
