Study Notes

NITRIDES and GLASS

  • Glass has a high quantity of Silica (SiO2)
  • Other ingredients are present in glass besides Silica

CARBON

  • Graphite and Diamond are two forms of Carbon

SILICON

  • Applications of Silicon:
    • Used as a reducing agent in certain metallurgical processes
    • Base material in semiconductor manufacturing in electronics

BORON

  • No specific applications or properties mentioned

STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF CERAMICS

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH IN CERAMICS

  • Classification of composites based on Matrix:
    • PMC – Polymer Matrix composites
    • MMC – Metal Matrix composites
    • CMC – Ceramic Matrix composites
  • Functions of the Matrix Material:
    • Protect phases from environment
    • Transfer Stresses to phases
    • Share load with secondary phase, in some cases deforming to bear stress
  • Why Composites are Important:
    • High strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios
    • Better fatigue properties than common engineering metals
    • Higher toughness
    • Resistance to corrosion
    • Possible to achieve combinations of properties not attainable with metals, ceramics, or polymers alone

CLASSIFICATION BASED ON REINFORCEMENT

  • Classification of composites based on reinforcement:
    • Particle Reinforcement composites
    • Structural Composites
    • Fiber Reinforcement composites
    • fiber reinforcement types:
      • Continuous fibers with unidirectional aligned
      • Discontinuous fiber and unidirectional aligned
      • Discontinuous fiber and randomly oriented

PARTICLE REINFORCED COMPOSITE

  • Characteristics:
    • Cheapest and most widely used
    • Fall into two categories based on particle size:
      • Large-Particle Composites
      • Dispersion-Strengthened Composites
    • Examples:
      • Concrete, ceramics, filled polymers
      • TDNickel with 3% of Thoria

FELDSPAR

  • A naturally occurring, industrially important, network silicate with a low melting temperature
  • Becomes glass upon firing and bonds refractory components together
  • Composition: K2O Al2O3 6SiO2

SILICA (SiO2)

  • A polymorphic compound with various forms (quartz, tridymite, and cristobalite)
  • Acts as the refractory component of traditional ceramics

CERAMICS

THREE BASIC CATEGORIES OF CERAMICS

  • Traditional Ceramics
  • New Ceramics

TRADITIONAL CERAMICS

  • Examples:
    • Clay
    • Silica (SiO2)
    • Alumina

NEW CERAMICS

  • Examples:
    • Oxide Ceramics
    • Carbides
