What are the advantages of ceramics in engineering applications?

<p>They are stiff, hard, and abrasion-resistant, retain their strength to high temperatures, and resist corrosion well.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is a limitation of polymers in engineering applications?

<p>They creep, even at room temperature, and their properties depend on temperature.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is a key advantage of polymers in design?

<p>They can be easily shaped and moulded into complicated parts with multiple functions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is a limitation of composites in engineering applications?

<p>They cannot be used above 250°C because the polymer matrix softens.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why are ceramics more difficult to design with than metals?

<p>They have a wide scatter in strength and the strength depends on the volume of material under load and the time for which it is applied.</p> Signup and view all the answers
