CERAMICS Structure and Properties of Ceramics Traditional Ceramics New Ceramics Glass Some Important Elements Related to Ceramics Guide to Processing Ceramics ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Ceramic Defined An inorganic compound consisting of a metal (or semi‑metal) and one or more nonmetals Important examples: Silica - silicon dioxide (SiO2), the main ingredient in most glass products Alumina - aluminum oxide (Al2O3), used in various applications from abrasives to artificial bones More complex compounds such as hydrous aluminum silicate (Al2Si2O5(OH)4), the main ingredient in most clay products ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Properties of Ceramic Materials High hardness, electrical and thermal insulating, chemical stability, and high melting temperatures Brittle, virtually no ductility - can cause problems in both processing and performance of ceramic products Some ceramics are translucent, window glass (based on silica) being the clearest example ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Ceramic Products Clay construction products - bricks, clay pipe, and building tile Refractory ceramics ‑ capable of high temperature applications such as furnace walls, crucibles, and molds Cement used in concrete - used for construction and roads Whiteware products - pottery, stoneware, fine china, porcelain, and other tableware, based on mixtures of clay and other minerals ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Ceramic Products (continued) Glass ‑ bottles, glasses, lenses, window pane, and light bulbs Glass fibers - thermal insulating wool, reinforced plastics (fiberglass), and fiber optics communications lines Abrasives - aluminum oxide and silicon carbide in grinding wheels Cutting tool materials - tungsten carbide, aluminum oxide, and cubic boron nitride ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Ceramic Products (continued) Ceramic insulators ‑ applications include electrical transmission components, spark plugs, and microelectronic chip substrates Magnetic ceramics – computer memories Nuclear fuels based on uranium oxide (UO2) Bioceramics - artificial teeth and bones ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Three Basic Categories of Ceramics Traditional ceramics ‑ clay products such as pottery, bricks, common abrasives, and cement New ceramics ‑ more recently developed ceramics based on oxides, carbides, etc., with better mechanical or physical properties than traditional ceramics Glasses ‑ based primarily on silica and distinguished by their noncrystalline structure ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Strength Properties of Ceramics Theoretically, the strength of ceramics should be higher than metals because their covalent and ionic bonding types are stronger than metallic bonding But metallic bonding allows for slip, the mechanism by which metals deform plastically when stressed Bonding in ceramics is more rigid and does not permit slip under stress The inability to slip makes it much more difficult for ceramics to absorb stresses ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Imperfections in Crystal Structure of Ceramics Ceramics contain the same imperfections in their crystal structure as metals ‑ vacancies, displaced atoms, interstitialcies, and microscopic cracks Internal flaws tend to concentrate stresses, especially tensile, bending, or impact Hence, ceramics fail by brittle fracture much more readily than metals Strength is much less predictable due to random imperfections and processing variations ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Compressive Strength of Ceramics The frailties that limit the tensile strength of ceramic materials are not nearly so operative when compressive stresses are applied Ceramics are substantially stronger in compression than in tension For engineering and structural applications, designers have learned to use ceramic components so that they are loaded in compression rather than tension or bending ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Methods to Strengthen Ceramic Materials Make starting materials more uniform Decrease grain size in polycrystalline ceramic products Minimize porosity Introduce compressive surface stresses Use fiber reinforcement Heat treat ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Physical Properties of Ceramics Density – most ceramics are lighter than metals but heavier than polymers Melting temperatures - higher than for most metals Some ceramics decompose rather than melt Electrical and thermal conductivities - lower than for metals; but the range of values is greater, so some ceramics are insulators while others are conductors Thermal expansion - somewhat less than for metals, but effects are more damaging because of brittleness ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Traditional Ceramics Based on mineral silicates, silica, and mineral oxides found in nature Primary products are fired clay (pottery, tableware, brick, and tile), cement, and natural abrasives such as alumina Products and the processes to make them date back thousands of years Glass is also a silicate ceramic material and is sometimes included among traditional ceramics ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Raw Materials for Traditional Ceramics Mineral silicates, such as clays and silica, are among the most abundant substances in nature and are the principal raw materials for traditional ceramics Another important raw material for traditional ceramics is alumina These solid crystalline compounds have been formed and mixed in the earth’s crust over billions of years by complex geological processes ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Clay as a Ceramic Raw Material Clays consist of fine particles of hydrous aluminum silicate Mostly based on kaolinite, (Al2Si2O5(OH)4) Mixed with water, clay becomes a plastic substance that is formable and moldable When heated to a sufficiently elevated temperature (firing), clay fuses into a dense, strong material Thus, clay can be shaped while wet and soft, and then fired to obtain the final hard product ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Silica as a Ceramic Raw Material Available naturally in various forms, most important is quartz Main source of quartz is sandstone Low cost Hard and chemically stable Principal component in glass, and an important ingredient in other ceramic products including whiteware, refractories, and abrasives ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Alumina as a Ceramic Raw Material Bauxite - most alumina is processed from this mineral, which is an impure mixture of hydrous aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide plus similar compounds of iron or manganese Bauxite is also the principal source of aluminum Corundum - a more pure but less common form of Al2O3, which contains alumina in massive amounts Alumina ceramic is used as an abrasive in grinding wheels and as a refractory brick in furnaces ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Traditional Ceramic Products Pottery and Tableware Brick and tile Refractories Abrasives ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

New Ceramics Ceramic materials developed synthetically over the last several decades Also refers to improvements in processing techniques that provide greater control over structures and properties of ceramic materials New ceramics are based on compounds other than variations of aluminum silicate New ceramics are usually simpler chemically than traditional ceramics; for example, oxides, carbides, nitrides, and borides ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Oxide Ceramics Most important oxide ceramic is alumina Al2O3 Although included among traditional ceramics, alumina is also produced synthetically from bauxite Through control of particle size and impurities, refinements in processing methods, and blending with small amounts of other ceramic ingredients, strength and toughness of alumina are improved substantially compared to its natural counterpart Alumina also has good hot hardness, low thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Carbide Ceramics Includes silicon carbide (SiC), tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), tantalum carbide (TaC), and chromium carbide (Cr3C2) Production of SiC dates from a century ago, and it is generally included among traditional ceramics WC, TiC, and TaC are hard and wear resistant and are used in applications such as cutting tools WC, TiC, and TaC must be combined with a metallic binder such as cobalt or nickel in order to fabricate a useful solid product ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Nitrides Important nitride ceramics are silicon nitride (Si3N4), boron nitride (BN), and titanium nitride (TiN) Properties: hard, brittle, high melting temperatures, usually electrically insulating, TiN being an exception Applications: Silicon nitride: components for gas turbines, rocket engines, and melting crucibles Boron nitride and titanium nitride: cutting tool materials and coatings ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Glass A state of matter as well as a type of ceramic As a state of matter, the term refers to an amorphous (noncrystalline) structure of a solid material The glassy state occurs when insufficient time is allowed during cooling from the molten state to form a crystalline structure As a type of ceramic, glass is an inorganic, nonmetallic compound (or mixture of compounds) that cools to a rigid condition without crystallizing ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Why So Much SiO2 in Glass? Because SiO2 is the best glass former Silica is the main component in glass products, usually comprising 50% to 75% of total chemistry It naturally transforms into a glassy state upon cooling from the liquid, whereas most ceramics crystallize upon solidification ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Other Ingredients in Glass Sodium oxide (Na2O) Calcium oxide (CaO) Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) Magnesium oxide (MgO) Potassium oxide (K2O) Lead oxide (PbO) Boron oxide (B2O3) ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Glass‑Ceramics A ceramic material produced by conversion of glass into a polycrystalline structure through heat treatment Proportion of crystalline phase range = 90% to 98%, remainder vitreous material Grain size significantly smaller than the conventional ceramics, which makes glass‑ceramics much stronger than the glasses from which they are made Due to crystal structure, glass‑ceramics are opaque (usually grey or white), not clear ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version

Processing of Glass Ceramics Heating and forming techniques used in glassworking create product shape Product is cooled and then reheated to cause a dense network of crystal nuclei to form throughout Nucleation results from small amounts of nucleating agents, such as TiO2, P2O5, and ZrO2 Once nucleation is started, heat treatment is continued at a higher temperature to cause growth of crystalline phases ©2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of Modern Manufacturing 4/e SI Version
