What are the main components of ceramics?

The main components of ceramics are clay, feldspar and quartz.

Pottery, made of clay with high viscosity and strong plasticity, is opaque, with fine pores, weak water absorption and turbid tapping sound.

Porcelain is made of clay, feldspar and quartz. Translucent, non-absorbent, corrosion-resistant, hard and dense, with crisp knocking sound. China traditional ceramic handicrafts are famous for their high quality, beautiful appearance and high artistic value. Pottery and porcelain have different textures and characteristics.

Classification of ceramics

1, ordinary ceramics

Ordinary ceramics, also called traditional ceramics, are mainly made of clay? (Al2O3 2sio2 H2O), when? (silica) and feldspar? (K2O alumina hexasiloxane). By adjusting the ratio of the three, different resistance, heat resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained. Ordinary ceramics are hard, but fragile, with excellent insulation and corrosion resistance.

2. Special ceramics

Special ceramics, also known as modern ceramics, are divided into special structural ceramics and functional ceramics according to their uses, such as piezoelectric ceramics, magnetic ceramics, capacitor ceramics and high-temperature ceramics. The most important high temperature ceramics in engineering include oxide ceramics, carbide ceramics, boride ceramics and nitride ceramics.
