Thus the glass ceramic mgo al 2 o 3 sio 2 is used to make electrical insulators that have to operate at high temperatures such as spark plug insulators.
Uses of glass ceramics.
Even in our modern age of plentiful plastics brick glass cement concrete porcelain and tiles of all kinds are still the raw materials from which most buildings are made.
One particularly notable use of glass ceramics is in the processing of ceramic matrix composites.
Ceramic products are hard porous and brittle.
Ceramics are also used at many places in gas turbine engines.
We can take blue and green light diodes and use our glass ceramics as a filter to obtain a wide spectrum emission that will include the ir range explains anastasia babkina.
If aerospace is an extraordinary use for extraordinary ceramics construction is one of the best known uses for ordinary everyday ceramics.
The tools used on construction sites are often made with ceramics too.
For many ceramic matrix composites typical sintering temperatures and times cannot be used as the degradation and corrosion of the constituent fibres becomes more of an issue as temperature and sintering time increase.
As a result they are used to make pottery bricks tiles cements and glass.
Bio ceramics are used as dental implants and synthetic bones.
Glass ceramics are also stronger at high temperatures than glasses.
