The four main classes of ceramic materials are:
1. Structural Ceramics: These ceramics are clay-based materials that are pressed into shape to provide structural support. They are commonly used in applications such as construction materials, ceramic tiles, and bricks.
2. Refractory Ceramics: Refractory ceramics have high melting points and excellent thermal stability. They are used in applications that require resistance to high temperatures, such as furnace linings, kiln furniture, and crucibles.
3. Electrical Ceramics: Electrical ceramics have unique electrical properties, such as high dielectric strength and low electrical conductivity. They are used in applications like insulators, capacitors, and piezoelectric devices.
4. Magnetic Ceramics: Magnetic ceramics possess magnetic properties and are used in applications such as magnets, magnetic sensors, and magnetic storage devices.
These four classes of ceramic materials offer a wide range of properties and applications due to their unique compositions and manufacturing processes.
