Qu'est-ce que la céramique et quels sont les produits que l'on peut fabriquer en céramique ?

Ceramics is a material with a long history and wide application. From ancient pottery to modern high-tech ceramics, ceramics play an important role in our lives. In this article, we will explore the properties of this magical material and introduce its many applications in daily life, so that you can have a more comprehensive understanding of ceramics and the convenience and beauty they bring.

What Is Ceramics

Ceramics is an inorganic non-metallic solid, which is a material made by crushing, mixing, shaping, and firing natural or synthetic inorganic compounds, and hardens after high-temperature heating. Generally speaking, they are hard, corrosion-resistant and brittle. Ceramics have a wide range of applications in our daily life and industrial production.

The word “Ceramic” comes from Greek, specifically, from the ancient Greek word “κεραμικός” (keramikos), which means “pottery” or “related to pottery.” “keramikos” entered English through Latin and became “ceramicus”, meaning “pottery” or “ceramic.” “Ceramiccus” gradually evolved into the English word “ceramic”, retaining its original meaning and expanding to describe all ceramic materials made by firing processes.

Ceramics are a very widely used material, and their uses cover many aspects from daily life to high-tech fields. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, ceramics are widely used in various fields and play an irreplaceable role.

Main Characteristics of Ceramics

High hardness: Ceramics usually have high hardness and can resist scratches and wear, so they perform well in applications that require high wear resistance.

High-temperature resistance: Ceramics can withstand high temperatures without decomposition or deformation, and are widely used in equipment and parts in high-temperature environments, such as kilns, nozzles, etc.

Corrosion resistance: Ceramics have good chemical stability and can resist corrosion by chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, so they are widely used in the chemical industry.

Electrical insulation: Many ceramics have excellent electrical insulation properties and are often used in electronic components and electrical insulators, such as capacitors and insulators.

Low thermal conductivity: Ceramics usually have low thermal conductivity and are suitable for use as thermal insulation materials, such as kiln linings, insulation boards, etc.

High compressive strength: Ceramics usually have high compressive strength and can withstand large pressures without breaking, so they are suitable for high-strength structural materials.

Biocompatibility: Some ceramic materials have good biocompatibility and can be used in the medical field, such as artificial bones, dental implants, etc.

Brittleness: Although ceramics have many excellent properties, their brittleness is a major disadvantage. They are easy to break when subjected to impact or pressure.
