Comparing the similarities and differences between structural ceramics and functional ceramics
Used in the engineering ceramics known as engineering ceramics, it is mainly used in high temperature or high temperature structural ceramics. This kind of ceramics at high temperatures with high strength, high hardness, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, erosion resistance and other advantages, is an important material for space technology, military technology, atomic energy, and chemical industry the equipment in the field. There are many kinds of engineering ceramics, but currently the world's most studied, that is the most promising chloride silicon, silicon carbide and oxide toughened three kinds of materials.
For the production of high temperature and high frequency components, resistors, capacitors in the electronics industry, electronic transformers and other parts of every hue. Using the optical properties of the ceramic manufacturing solid laser material, optical fiber, optical storage materials and various ceramic sensors. In addition, the ceramic is also used as a piezoelectric material, magnetic material, substrate material and so on. In short, the new agent of ceramic materials almost every field of modern science and technology, and has very broad application prospects.
Special ceramic material using ceramic on sound and light, electric, magnetic and thermal properties have made known as functional ceramics. Many kinds of functional ceramics, use different. For example, according to the difference of electrical properties of the ceramics made of conductive ceramics, semiconductor ceramics, dielectric ceramics, ceramic insulation and other electronic materials.
