Ceramic structural components are often used in harsh environments where other materials, such as metals, plastics, or composites, would degrade or fail. Ceramics have excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength, hardness, and stiffness, as well as thermal and chemical resistance, which make them suitable for a variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, electronics, energy, and medical devices. Ceramic structural components can be made from a variety of ceramic materials, such as alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and boron carbide. The manufacturing process for ceramic components usually involves forming the ceramic material into the desired shape, followed by sintering at high temperatures to bond the particles together and create a dense, strong structure. Additional processing steps, such as machining, polishing, or coating, may also be used to achieve the desired properties and surface finish.
