5 Metallic Materials classification Non-metallic Organic Inorganic (nonmetallic) C, H (O, N, P, S, )

6 Bonds in Ionic Covalent Mixed (ionic-covalent) different electronegativity of atoms near electronegativity of atoms portion of ionic bonding increases with increasing difference between electronegativities Bonding in ceramics is responsible for the specific properties of ceramics and diferences between ceramics and metals

9 The term ceramics is often limited to inorganic materials of non-metallic nature predominately in crystalline state and prepared from powder material using sintering at high temperatures. We will distinguish: ceramics (according to the limited definition) and glass, (non-metallic single crystals and carbon products)

10 Technology of non-metallic materials classification into materials groups Polycrystalline ceramics Ceramic single crystals Glass Plastics Composites

11 Monocrystal Polycrystal Amorphous

12 Polycrystalline ceramics Advantages: high melting point strength in pressure hardness wear resistance chemical resistance intermediate and lower density Restrictions: brittle behaviour sensitivity to thermal shock difficult preparation and expensive machining

14 What is dislocation

15 Movement of dislocation

16 Cause of brittlness: restricted motion of dislocations Low mobility Low manoeuvrability High Peierls-Nabarro stress in covalent and complex ionic crystals Example: MgO can be partially ductial as a single crystal low P-N stress von Mises criterion is not fulfilled for plastic deformatio of polycrystals (5 independent slip systems) Polycrystalline MgO can be ductile above 1700 C other slip system are initiated
