Ceramic Material

About Ceramic Materials

The limited wetting behaviour of ceramic materials by molten metals renders them suitable for metallurgical melting processes. Newly developed ceramics comprise oxides, carbides and nitrides. Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) is the most widely used oxide ceramic material in industry. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), recognised for its high hardness, is employed as an abrasive and in mortar formulations. Carbides such as Boron carbide and Silicon carbide are utilised in ballistic protective gear, bearings and abrasives, whereas Aluminium nitride is used as a substrate in electronics.
