Scientific Sessions

 Ceramics

 Ceramics is nothing but it   is made up of metal or non -metal compounds that are first shaped hardened and then by heating on. Generally ceramic word has been derived from   Greek   word “pottery” which has been part high temperatures of the ceramic world. Nowadays  ceramic  has become one of the most commonly used  name which includes glasses, advanced ceramics and cement  systems .The major types of ceramics has been defined in three types: 1.earthenware 2.Stoneware 3.Proacline.

1. Earthen ware: It has been considered as the one of pottery. Which   has been used for the table ware and as well as the decorative objects and more over it has been considered as the one of the part of the ceramics. Moreover the clay has been heated under the temperature of 1000-11500c.
2. Stoneware: In this phase the clay has been heated   above 1200c until it turned into a glass. Because stoneware is a non -porous  and glaze so it is applied only for the decoration purpose and more over it has been used for cooking, serving hot things .
3. Porcelain:  It is very hard and translucent   white ceramic .It has been arrived in china  around  1600bc and above 600AD.To make the porcelain small amounts of glass ,granite and some minerals are crushed in the white  clay.
4. Bone china: which is easier to make harder to chip and   stronger than porcelain. It is made by adding ash from cattle bones to clay   feldspar minerals   and fine Silica sand.

Advanced ceramic  materials has been used in day to day life   in the form of fridge magnets to increasing wide range of industries. In   medicine the advanced ceramics is also known as bioceramics which plays a vital role in bone substituents like knee and hip transplantations.                                                                                                              

Ceramic and Composites

Ceramic and composites with one or more   different   phases that are having   Nano-dimensions which   are new generation of engineering materials that are having the potential applications in different areas. The typical micro structures of the Nano-ceramic composites  which  can be used as bulk materials   and as well as  different substrates for applications  which  mainly includes  silicon, Nitrate-silicon, alumina silica carbide composites and  Nano- ceramic-composite based  coatings.

 Composite Ceramic Materials

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and as well as a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibres embedded in a ceramic matrix. The matrix and fibres can consist of any ceramic material, whereby carbon and carbon fibres can also be considered a ceramic material.

Porous and Armour ceramics

Porous ceramics shows significant properties and features   that other ceramics can’t exhibit. So that is why porous ceramics is found in different applications as final products in developing sites.  Porous   ceramics possess different physical properties such as good chemical and thermal stability, great fine specific strength and rigidity. The armour ceramics are used to protect the vehicles in the past and the strongest and lightest ceramic material is the boron-carbide. The materials that are used in armour ceramics are Carbon, Silica, Aluminium-Oxide. Boron Carbide is mainly used for ceramic plates in order.

Nanotechnology

  Nanotechnology is a science, Engineering and technology that has been conducted at a small range is 1 to 100nm. Nanotechnology refers to the study of small things or tiny particles which can be used across different parts or various fields like biology, science, chemistry, physics, Material science and Engineering. The microscopes which are needed to see the small tiny things at the Nano scale. Now-a-days most of the scientists and engineers take the advantage of making the materials at the nano-scale in order to adopt the properties like strength , light weight , increased control of spectrum and  great  chemical reactivity  from the large scales.

Sintering

Mainly it can be divided into mainly two types that is 1.solid state Sintering and 2.Liquid phase Sintering. The solid state Sintering occurs when the powder compact is taken in the solid state where as liquid phase sintering occurs when the powder compact is densified in the liquid state. Besides these solid and liquid phase sintering there are other types of sintering such as Transient liquid phase   sintering   and   viscous flow sintering. The sintering process is widely used in the metallurgy process and as well as other ceramic components. Most of the industries use this process as trail and error method that provides less cost and more production. The Sintering process consists of other different types of models such as atomic scale model, Multi scale model including various different types of techniques for the computer   Simulation.

Functional ceramics and Inorganics

The functional ceramics are superionic conductors are nothing but cations and ions move easily in the presence of electrical field. There are various methods for the synthesis of inorganic materials to overcome many issues such as slow reaction, changing in the diffusion path lengths etc.

Ultra High Temperature and Ceramics

 Ultrahigh temperature ceramics is a part of the re factory ceramics which define the stability at temperatures exceeding   2000C. This is also used in the environmental side   which is mainly used to detect the extreme temperatures in the chemical reactivity, erosion attack etc. Using the melting temperature   we are going to define only some materials under  the ultrahigh temperature and ceramics and the materials that includes  most of carbides, borides or nitrides of early transition elements

• Borides that includes the ceramic like properties   and also with high temperatures with high elastic and metallic properties  such as high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. These properties makes the UHTC’s more attractive.
• Carbides: Comparing to borides the carbides have high melting point and less electrical conductivity. Carbides have low oxidation resistance at interval temperatures due to formation of the co gas as one of the oxidation product. Carbides are typically used as the single phase ceramics in order to avoid the increase in temperatures,formation of reactions, solution formation and as well as  formation of eutectics.
• The development of the ultra-high temperature and ceramics is continued around and across the globe. while the significant progress has been made in order to understanding the fundamental microstructure processing elements  further work indeed  to develop the UHTC’s applications such as sharp leading  and as well as aerospace wheels for the vehicles that are used in the space.

The surface engineering is used in various fields such as biomedical, power, electronic and so on. Coming to the ceramic coatings there are various benefits   that this type of coating provides the substrate that is coated. The ceramic coatings are wide spread across various industries especially in the steel industry this is used to provide the  properties of corrosion and wear  protection and also the marine also use this property to define the  resistance to corrosion  in the presence  of salt water  along with non-conduction and wear protective.
