What is ceramics ?
The word ceramics, derives its name from the Greek keramos,
meaning “pottery”, which in turn is derived from an older Sanskrit
Root, meaning “to burn”. The Greeks used the term to mean
“burned earth”. Thus the word was used to refer to a product
obtained through the action of fire upon earthy materials.
Most people, when they hear the word ceramic, think of
art, dinnerware, pottery, tiles, brick and toilets. The above
mentioned products are referred to as traditional ceramics.

History
One of the major problems encountered in the teaching
of science, is the frequent lack of any social or historical
perspective.
Science does not evolve in a vacuum, but is constrained
By the mores and morals of society at large.
Newton
•Newton wrote more voluminously on alchemy than he ever
did on the laws of motion.
•He spent an inordinate amount of time on arcane religious
Philosophy.
•He was also a complete misogynist and was probably paranoid.
Newton’s consuming interest in the mystical reflects the
times in which he lived.

Clay tokens are used in Mesopotamia to
record business transsactions
Copper smelting is developed.
Gold, silver and copper ornaments are
fashioned from nuggets in e.g. the Balkans.
Babylon is built with fired-brick and
bitumen mortar.
Copper is smelted in Eastern Europe and Egypt.
Meteoric iron is used to make small tools and
ornaments

Earliest known use of Bronze is found in Sumer:
first urban civilization
Glass is first used in the Middle East as a glaze
on pottery
Glass vessels are produced in Egypt and
Mesopotamia
The Hittites in Anatolia introduce methods to
produce large quantities of smelted iron.

Advanced Ceramics
• Advanced ceramic materials have been developed
over the past half century
• Applied as thermal barrier coatings to protect metal
structures, wearing surfaces, or as integral
components by themselves.
• Engine applications are very common for this class of
material which includes silicon nitride (Si3N4), silicon
carbide (SiC), Zirconia (ZrO2) and Alumina (Al2O3)
• Heat resistance and other desirable properties have
lead to the development of methods to toughen the
material by reinforcement with fibers and whiskers
opening up more applications for ceramics

Properties of Engineering Ceramics
• Ceramics are typically,
– hard and brittle
– high melting point materials with low electrical
– thermal conductivity
– good chemical and thermal stability
– high compressive strengths
Mechanical Properties
• Ceramics and glasses are BRITTLE.
• They fail in the elastic region.
• They fail by crack growth.
• They are better in COMPRESSION than TENSION.
• Cracks open up in tension, but close in compression
Mechanical Properties
Mechanical properties depend upon the POROSITY.
Structure
CERAMICS ARE INORGANIC COMPOUNDS
OXIDES - NITRIDES – CARBIDES
Ceramics have more complex crystal structures than metals.
Structure
WHY?
• The structure has to accommodate anions of different sizes,
and has to preserve charge neutrality.
• IONIC or COVALENT bonds.
The diversity in their properties stems from their
bonding and crystal structures.
Two types of bonding mechanisms occur in ceramic
materials, ionic and covalent. Often these
mechanisms co-exist in the same ceramic material.
Each type of bond leads to different characteristics.
