ceramics that are predominantly ionic in nature
have crystal structures comprised of charged ions,
where positively-charged (metal) ions are called
cations, and negatively-charged (non-metal) ions
are called anions the crystal structure for a given
ceramic depends upon two characteristics:

1. the magnitude of electrical charge on
eachcomponent ion, recognizing that the
overallstructure must be electrically neutral

Include point defects and impurities
Non-stoichiometry refers to a change in composition
the effect of non-stoichiometry is a redistribution of
the atomic charges to minimize the energy
Charge neutral defects include the Frenkel defects(a
vacancy- interstitial pair of cations) and Schottky
defects (a pair of nearby cation and anion
vacancies)
Defects will appear if the charge of the impurities is
not balanced

most important thermal properties of ceramic materials:
Heat capacity : amount of heat required to raise material
temperature by one unit (ceramics > metals)
Thermal expansion coefficient: the ratio that a material
expands in accordance with changes in temperature
Thermal conductivity : the property of a material that
indicates its ability to conduct heat
Thermal shock resistance: the name given to cracking as a
result of rapid temperature change
24
22.08.17
Thermal expansion
Comparison of thermal expansion coefficient between metals and fine ceramics
The coefficients of thermal
expansion depend on the bond
strength between the atoms that
make up the materials.
Strong bonding (diamond,
silicon carbide, silicon nitrite)
low thermal expansion
coefficient
Weak bonding ( stainless steel)
higher thermal expansion
coefficient in comparison with
25
fine ceramics
22.08.17
Thermal conductivity
generally less than that of metals such as steel or copper
ceramic materials, in contrast, are used for thermal insulation
due to their low thermal conductivity (except silicon carbide,
aluminium nitride)

Thermal shock resistance
A large number of ceramic materials are sensitive to thermal shock
Some ceramic materials very high resistance to thermal shock is despite of
low ductility (e.g. fused silica, Aluminium titanate )
Result of rapid cooling tensile stress (thermal stress)cracks and
consequent failure
The thermal stresses responsible for the response to temperature stress
depend on:

The Frequency of field applied effect
charge transport mechanisms are frequency
dependent.
The temperature effect
The activation energy needed for charge
migration is achieved through thermal energy
and immobile charge career becomes mobile.

Most of ceramic materials are
dielectric. (materials, having very low
electric conductivity, but supporting
electrostatic field).
Dielectric ceramics are used for
manufacturing capacitors, insulators
and resistors.
46
22.08.17
Despite of very low electrical conductivity of most of the ceramic
materials, there are ceramics, possessing superconductivity
properties (near-to-zero electric resistivity).
Lanthanum (yttrium)-barium-copper oxide ceramic may be
superconducting at temperature as high as 138 K. This critical
temperature is much higher, than superconductivity critical
temperature of other superconductors (up to 30 K).
The critical temperature is also higher than boiling point of liquid
Nitrogen (77.4 K), which is very important for practical application
of superconducting ceramics, since liquid nitrogen is relatively low
cost material.

A suspension of seramic powders in water , slip, is
poured into a porous plaster mold
Water from the mix is absorbed into the plaster to
form a firm layer of clay at the mold surface
51
22.08.17
http://global.kyocera.com/fcworld/first/process06.html
Raw materials are mixed with resin to provide the necessary fluidity
degree.
Then injected into the molding die
The mold is then cooled to harden the binder and produce a "green"
compact part (also known as an unsintered powder compact).
52
22.08.17
Slip Casting
Mixed raw materials are
combined with solvating
media and a dispersant
Then fed into an absorbent
die.
The materials are Injection molding
dehydrated and solidified raw materials are mixed
with resin.
Then fed injected into
the molding die
The mold is then cooled
to harden the binder.
