Ceramic Engineering

What is Ceramics Engineering?

  • In the 1960s and 1970s, new ceramics were developed. Ceramic superconductors were discovered in 1986. This started the intensive research into the development of superconducting ceramic parts. They had a purpose in electronic devices, electric motors, and transport devices. 

  • Ceramic technology is a technology involving the development and production of ceramic products. Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic materials cured by baking at high temperatures. These materials are heat resistant. We use them for many demanding tasks that other materials such as metals and polymers cannot do. Ceramic technology is useful in areas such as

    • Oil refining
    • Food process
    • Packaging and
    • Mining

What does a Ceramic Engineer do?

Ceramic engineers are specialized material engineers who work with ceramics.

Ceramic engineers develop new ceramic products. They also layout methods and devices for processing ceramic materials.

They work with various products. These can be from

  • Glass

  • Electronics

  • Nuclear Reactors

  • Liners

  • Blast Furnaces

  • Jet Engines.

Most ceramic engineers are employed in the stone, clay and glass industries.
