CERAMIC

 Any of various hard, brittle and nonconductive materials formed by the

ionic bonding of a metal and a non-metal, as brick, concrete and natural
metal.
metal and non-metal: brick, concrete and natural metal.
hard: not easily yielding to pressure,not easily penetrated (matigas)
brittle: easily broken or craked (babasagin)
nonconductive:(doesn’t conduct heat or electricity)

 Ceramic Ware – Any of various products made by firing clay or similar

materials in a kiln.
ex. brick, tile, pottery

A. Earthenware – Low-fired, opaque, nonvitreous

ceramic ware.
nonvitreous: not made of glass,absorb
water

B. Stoneware – High fired, opaque, vitrified ceramic

ware
vitrified: convert into glassy substance

C. Porcelain – A hard, vitreous, translucent

ceramic material consisting
fired at very high temperature.
vitreous: resembling glass, characterized by low
porosity and usually translucence
due to the presence of a glassy phase.
porosity: full of pores that permits glass or gas to
past through
translucent: permitting the passage of light, to shine through.
ceramic materials consisting of: kaolin, feldspar
and quartz.
 D. China – A translucent ceramic material,
bisque fired at high temperature, and
glazed fired at low temperature.
bisque: earthenware or porcelain that
has been fired at once but not glazed .
Also called biscuit.
glaze: a vitreous layer or coating fused
to clay body to color, to decorate , water
proof ,or to strength its surface.

E. Enamel – A vitreous, usually opaque, decorative or

protective coating applied by fusion to the surface
metal, glass or pottery.

F. Kaolin (Keylin)- A fine white clay used in

manufacture of porcelain and white Portland
cement. Also called china clay.

G. Porcelain enamel – An opaque, glossy,

coating bonded to metal by fusing at a high
temperature. Also called vitreous enamel.

Ceramic Tile- Any of various fired clay tiles used for surfacing walls, floors, and
countertops.

Glazed wall tile- Ceramic tile having a nonvitreous body and a bright, matte, or
crystalline glaze, used for surfacing interior walls and light- duty walls.

Ceramic mosaic tile- small ceramic tile having a porcelain or natural clay body,
glazed for surfacing walls or unglazed for use on both floors and walls, and
usually face-or back-mounted on sheets to facilitate handling and speed
installation.
Quarry tile- Unglazed ceramic floor tile having a natural clay body. Also called
promenade tile.

Paver tile- Unglazed ceramic floor tile similar in composition to ceramic mosaic
but thicker and larger in surface area.

CERAMIC

DEFINITION:

Any of various hard, brittle and nonconductive materials formed by the ionic
bonding of a metal and a non-metal.

metal and non-metal: brick, concrete and natural metal.

hard: not easily yielding to pressure, not easily penetrated (matigas)
brittle: easily broken or cracked (babasagin)
nonconductive:(doesn’t conduct heat or electricity)

2 TYPES

TRADITIONAL
ADVANCED

TRADITIONAL- include clay products, silicate glass and cement

ADVANCED- carbides (SiC), pure oxides ( Al203), nitrides (Si3N4), non-silicate
glasses and many others.

PROPERTIES

• Hard (wear resistant)

• Resistant to plastic deformation
• Resistant to high temperatures
• Good corrosion resistance
• Low thermal conductivity
• Low electrical conductivity

TYPES OF CERAMICS PRODUCTS

1. Structural
brick – is a block of ceramic materials used in masonry construction, usually laid using
various kinds of mortar.
Mortar is a workable paste used to bind construction blocks together and fill the gaps
between them.
Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together
by morta

pipes - is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of

circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow.

roof tiles - designed mainly to keep out rain.

2. Refractories
one that retains its strength at high temperatures.

kiln linings - is a thermally insulated chamber, or oven, in which a controlled

temperature
regime is produced.

steel - is an alloy consisting mostly of iron.

3. Whitewares/ Ceramic ware

Any of various products made by firing clay or similar materials in a kiln.

Earthenware – Low fired, opaque, nonvitreous ceramic ware.-

nonvitreous: not made of glass,absorb water

Stoneware – High fired, opaque, vitrified ceramic ware

vitrified: convert into glassy substance

Porcelain - A hard, vitreous, translucent ceramic material consisting of kaolin

fired at very high temperature.
vitreous: resembling glass, characterized by low porosity and usually translucence
due to the presence of a glassy phase.
porosity: full of pores that permits glass or gas to past through
translucent: permitting the passage of light, to shine through.

Bone China – A translucent ceramic material, bisque fired at high temperature, and glazed
fired at low temperature.
bisque: earthenware or porcelain that has been fired at once but not glazed . Also
called biscuit.
glaze: a vitreous layer or coating fused to clay body to color, to decorate , water
proof ,or to strength its surface.
