Behavior Of Ceramics

BY:Charie F. Manzano
 Ceramics

These are defined as class of inorganic, non-metallic solids that are

subjected to high temperature in manufacture or use.

Ceramic materials have mechanical properties that are comparable to

those of metals in terms of stiffness and strength. Ceramics are also
frequently exceedingly hard. On the other hand, they are incredibly
brittle and prone to fracture. Good resistance against many chemicals
Why do ceramics and metals behave differently?

Because the atoms within metals can easily slip past one
another, metals are malleable.

The atoms are closely bound in a ceramic. A ceramic can

only break apart if you exert too much power on it since
there is nowhere else for the energy to go.
The electrons are "busy" joining atoms together in a ceramic,
and there are No spare parts for transporting heat and power.
That is why ceramics are often nice. insulators (non-
conductors).

There are free electrons (blue) in metals that can

transport electricity and heat. which is why A good
conductor is a metal.
