Ceramics (Higgins21) • Domestic ceramics, e.g. china, earthenware, stoneware and cement. • Natural ceramics, e.g. stone. • Engineering ceramics, e.g. alumina, zirconia, boron nitride, etc. widely used in engineering as furnace components, tool tips and grinding tools. • Glasses and glass ceramics. Glasses are non-crystalline (amorphous) i.e. they are virtually still in a liquid condition. Glass comprises a range of substances, from boiled sweets to window panes and beer mugs. Glass ceramics are fine-grained polycrystalline materials produced by the controlled crystallisation of glasses. • Electronic materials, e.g. semiconductors and ferrites.

QUESTIONS Higgins Ch21 • Define all glossary terms • According to the engineering definition, what is the difference between ceramic and glass? • What distinguishes a ceramic material from a metal? • List 3 examples in each class of ceramics: Domestic ceramics, Natural ceramics,Engineering ceramics,Glasses and glass ceramics, Electronic materials. • Explain slip casting. What is the names of the equivalent method using polymers? • Outline the main properties of ceramics that have advantage over metals. What are their main drawbacks – compared to metals? Consider: Strength, toughness, stiffness, density, refractoriness, ductility, hardness. • Research on ceramic engines began decades ago. Why use ceramic? What are the problems? • Explain the essential differences in properties and behaviour under load between metallic crystals and ionically bonded ceramic crystals. • Describe three processes by which ceramic materials may be shaped prior to firing or sintering.
