Ceramic Materials

The percentage of a ceramic body that is composed of interconnected porosity

The mass of a ceramic body per unit volume, including closed and interconnected

porosity

Bonding ceramic raw materials using binders that form a glass or gel without firing

at high temperatures.

An inorganic material with a high melting temperature. Usually hard and brittle

Bonding ceramic materials by permitting a glassy product to form at high firing

temperatures.

A ceramic-metal composite (e.g., WC-Co) providing a good combination of hardness

with other properties such as toughness.

A powder-shaping technique in which hydrostatic pressure is

applied during compaction. This is used for achieving a higher green ceramic density or compaction

of more complex shapes.

The crystallization of glass

A ceramic coating on metal

Heating a ceramic body at a high temperature to cause a ceramic bond to form.
