Development of advanced ceramic material industry（一）

Key Takeaways Advanced ceramics differ from traditional ceramics in raw materials and processes: they are made from high-purity, ultra-fine powders with designed composition and structure, precise chemical metering and new preparation technology. They fall into two families: structural ceramics (high strength, hardness, corrosion, wear and high-temperature resistance for load-bearing parts) and functional ceramics (dielectric materials that detect, transform, store and transmit electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, thermal, chemical or biological signals). Functional ceramics underpin electronic information, integrated circuits, computers, automatic control, defense, aerospace, biomedicine,...

What is industrial ceramics?

Key Takeaways Industrial ceramics are fine ceramics used in industrial production, delivering mechanical, thermal and chemical functions in application. High temperature, corrosion, wear and erosion resistance let industrial ceramics replace metals and organic polymers in harsh working environments, with broad prospects in energy, aerospace, machinery, automotive, electronics and chemical industries. Industrial ceramics divide into ordinary (clay-based) ceramics and special ceramics such as alumina, silicon carbide and lithium oxide ceramics. Ordinary ceramics are fired from clay, feldspar and quartz; they serve as electrical porcelain for...
