Structural Ceramics Definition

His research interests include processing structure property correlation in structural ceramics including nanoceramics and nanocomposites as well as biomaterials and tribology of advanced materials.
Structural ceramics definition. Engineering ceramics differ from ceramics used for pottery in that they are used in practical applications which exploit properties such as their very high temperature capability their high wear resistance and their. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Because they serve as structural members often being subjected to mechanical loading they are given the name structural ceramics ordinarily for structural applications ceramics tend to be expensive replacements for other materials such as metals polymers and composites. Structural ceramics is a research area in which the physical and mechanical properties of engineering ceramics are studies.
He is currently on leave at the materials research center indian institute of science iisc bangalore india. Advanced structural ceramics ceramic materials that demonstrate enhanced mechanical properties under demanding conditions. Advanced structural ceramics synonyms advanced structural ceramics pronunciation advanced structural ceramics translation english dictionary definition of advanced structural ceramics. A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material.
Also called building tile structural terra cotta hollow tile and clay block the material is an extruded clay shape with substantial depth that allows it to be laid in the same manner.
