How do ceramic materials perform against sliding, abrasive or impact wear?Ceramics are inherently very wear resistant due to their extreme hardness. These materials have values close to the hardest known material, diamond. They have also the capability to be machined...
When we think about ceramic materials, our first instinct might be to assume there is always excellent ceramic thermal insulation. However, the reality is that engineering ceramics come with a wide range of thermal conductivities, with the lowest and highest values...
