| Summary |
|---|
The subject is focused to obtain of fundamental view in area traditional ceramics materials. Attention is paid to basic characteristics of ceramics materials, are presented systems raw materials for their production. In the subject are presented characteristics, dividing and properties ceramics substance, including procedures their shaping and next stages of technology production of ceramics materials.
The short characteristic of properties and applications of conventional ceramics materials in practice are part of subject.

2. The structure of ceramics, porosity, presence of crystalline and glass phase, equilibrium phase diagrams in ceramics systems.
3. The basic raw materials in ceramics technology, their behaviour under the influence of high temperature: oxides, carbonate, feldspar.
4. The clay raw materials for production ceramics materials. Dividing and plasticity of clay. Clay behaviour under the influence of high temperature. Equilibrium phase diagrams SiO2 - Al2O3, the mullitization process of clay.
5. Grain size distribution, adjustment of grain size distribution of raw materials. Particle size role for porosity, mechanical and temperature properties of ceramics materials.
6. The basic methods of shaping ceramics products. Prepare of raw materials for shaping. Plastic forming, pressing of powder systems, isostatic pressing, extrusion.
