Commonly used non silicate chemical raw materials or artificially synthesized raw materials, such as oxide (alumina, zirconia, titanium oxide, etc.) and non oxide (silicon nitride, boron carbide, etc.) manufacturing. Ceramics have many advantages such as excellent insulation, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high hardness, low density, and radiation resistance, and have been widely used in various fields of the national economy. Traditional ceramic products include daily ceramics, architectural and sanitary ceramics, industrial art ceramics, chemical ceramics, electrical ceramics, etc., with a wide variety of types and different properties. With the rise of high-tech industry, various new types of special ceramics have also achieved significant development, and ceramics have become increasingly outstanding structural and functional materials. They have higher temperature resistance, mechanical properties, special electrical properties, and excellent chemical resistance than traditional ceramics.
