2. Ceramic components of Engine  Diesel fuel injectors  Turbo charge rotors  PSS glow plugs  Rocker arm tips  Valves  Swirl Chambers

3. Advantages Of The Ceramic Engine  Temperature A ceramic cylinder will operate at the highest temperature combustion of 3000K.  Efficient The low friction ceramic doesn’t need to cool the engine walls. This also means that no part of the energy available from the fuel is wasted to heat the atmosphere.

4. Examples of Ceramic Materials  Silicon nitride used in engines and as a semiconductor in transistors  Boron carbide used in some helicopter and tank armor.  Ferrite used in the core of electrical transformers.  Uranium oxide used as fuel in nuclear reactors.

5. Other Applications Of Ceramics  Drilling Tips Drill bit  Chip Control Molded Chipbreakers Ground
