Traditional ceramics after a fairly long historical period, with the rapid development of high and new technology, people in the traditional ceramic basic principles and processes based on the use of modern technology to prepare a series of new ceramic functions, these new functions include mechanical, thermal, acoustic, electrical, magnetic, optical, superconducting, etc., these new functions of ceramics that is advanced ceramics.
These advanced ceramics use highly selected raw materials, have chemical compositions that can be precisely controlled, have manufacturing and processing technologies that are easy to control, facilitate structural design, and have numerous excellent properties. So there are many types of advanced ceramics, and the infographic below provides a general overview of the classification of advanced ceramics.
Advanced ceramic materials because of certain properties far more than modern high-quality alloys and polymer materials, so as to ascend to the protagonist of the new materials revolution, in various industrial fields, such as petroleum, chemical, iron and steel, electronics, textiles and automotive industries, as well as cutting-edge technology, such as aerospace, nuclear industry and the military industry has a wide range of application value and potential.
