Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materialsprocessed or consolidated at high temperature.Ceramics, one of the three major material families,are crystalline compounds of metallic andnonmetallic elements. The ceramic family islarge and varied, including such materials asrefractories, glass, brick, cement and plaster,abrasives, sanitaryware, dinnerware, artware,porcelain enamel, ferroelectrics, ferrites, anddielectric insulators. There are other materialsthat, strictly speaking, are not ceramics, but thatnevertheless are often included in this family.These are carbon and graphite, mica, and asbestos.Also, intermetallic compounds, such as aluminidesand beryllides, which are classified asmetals, and cermets, which are mixtures of metalsand ceramics, are usually thought of asceramic materials because of similar physicalcharacteristics to certain ceramics.
