Ceramics Flashcards
What type of materials make ceramics that are more amorphous?
-Glass like properties
What type of properties make ceramics that are more ordered?
-Crystalline properties
What are four properties of classic ceramics?
- High in compressive strength
- Low in Tensile strength
- High in electrical and thermal resistance
- Highly resistant to chemical breakdown
T/F Graphite is considered a ceramic and is therefore hard and resists electrical conduction
False
-Is soft and conducts electricity well
T/F Zirconia can have very high tensile strength
True
T/F Diamond is a ceramic and is not a good thermal conductor
False
-It is a good thermal conductor
T/F Ferrites are ceramics that are superconductors and have almost no electrical resistance
True
What is a solid transparent plastic made of polymethyl methacrylate known as?
-LUcite
What is a white or gray feldspathic mineral composed of potassium and aluminum silicates?
-LEucite
What do leucite crystals increase?
-Resistance to crack propagation in ceramics
