Structure and properties of ceramics

Summary

The subject is an introduction to the field of materials engineering in the field of ceramic materials. The main differences between metallic and ceramic materials are highlighted. Attention is focused on the description of the structure of atoms and on crystallography, as the necessary background for solving the tasks of chemical and phase analysis of ceramic materials. Students will become familiar with equilibrium phase diagrams, which find application in the field of ceramic materials. A basic set of methods for determining the chemical and phase composition of materials is presented, and an overview of the basic useful properties of ceramic materials is also defined. Part of the subject is an overview of specific types of ceramic materials, their advantages, possibilities of practical application are emphasized, and influences that limit their practical use are not neglected.
