Advanced ceramics offer a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to traditional materials like glass, metals, and plastics. These materials include alumina, aluminium nitride, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and titania-based materials, each having their own unique properties.
Greater strength, higher working temperatures, better toughness, and tailorable qualities set Advanced Ceramics apart from conventional ceramics like brick and porcelain. These substances, also referred to as engineered ceramics, are replacing metals in applications where reduced density and greater melting temperatures can improve productivity and speed.
Engineering ceramics can be distinguished from standard ceramics by the type of bond between ceramic particles. In engineering ceramics, the majority of the particles are self-bonded, which means they are connected at grain boundaries by the same energy-equilibrium mechanism that holds metal grains together. In contrast, the majority of non-engineering ceramic particles are connected by a weaker mechanical interlocking or connecting process known as a "ceramic bond." Non-engineering ceramics typically contain imperfections that inhibit the particles from self-bonding.
