Industrial ceramics plays a great role in our technology today, it covers all products that are made from inorganic, non metallic materials and having industrial or technical applications. The materials normally consist of substance with high melting or softening point. The term "industrial ceramics" also refers to the science and technology of developing and manufacturing such products. The industrial ceramics are a large group of materials having specialized uses other than domestic or aesthetic. They generally exclude glasses, enamels, building materials and certain cements and refractories. The fundamentals of industrial ceramics derive from its name ceramics, which is a term applied to all useful or ornamental clay objects that are baked.

Ceramics are inorganic as well as non-metallic materials which have been processed or used at high temperatures. The American Ceramic society has defined ceramic products as those manufactured "by the action of heat on raw materials, most of which are of an earthy nature -- while of the constituents of these raw materials, the chemical element silicon, together with its oxide and the compounds thereof, occupies a predominant position." That branch of knowledge which deals with the expertise of … [Read More...]
