Fireclay, silica, basic, special
Diamond properties
Low electrical cond., high temp thermal cond, hard
Graphite properties `
High interplanar electrical cond., chemical stability, graphene layers
Impurities must obey..
Electronegativity
Mechanical properties of ceramics
brittle, low tensile strength, high compressive strength, high hardness, low fract. toughness
Fracture Toughness formula
= Y(constant) * Stress * Sqrt(pi * a)
Stress - Strain Behaviour
Flexure test are used
