Technical ceramics, properties and applications

U ovom zavrsnom radu prikazana je povijest keramike od otkrica pa sve do dana danasnjeg, te kako je napredovala keramika od pocetka. Navedena je osnovna podjela keramike, zatim podjela tehnicke keramike, njezina grada i svojstva. U radu su takoder opisane prednosti i nedostaci tehnicke keramike, kao i njezina primjena. Keramika se dijeli na tradicionalnu i tehnicku. Najvaznija sirovina tradicionalne keramike je glina iz koje se proizvode opeke, plocice, sanitarne keramike i posude. Tehnicka keramika poznata kao i inzenjerska keramika, anorganski je materijal koji spada u skupinu materijala s izvrsnim mehanickim, elektricnim i toplinskim svojstvima . Tehnicka keramika se odlikuje velikom tvrdocom, visokom cvrstocom, niskom gustocom, izvrsnom otpornoscu na trosenje, otpornoscu na visoke temperature, te je dobar elektricni izolator.n this final paper, the history of ceramics from its discovery to the present day is showed, and how ceramics has progressed from the beginning. The basic division of ceramics is given, then the division of technical ceramics, its structure and properties. The paper also describes the advantages and disadvantages of technical ceramics, as well as its application. Ceramics is divided into traditional and technical. The most important raw material of traditional ceramics is clay, from which bricks, tiles, sanitary ceramics and utensils are produced. Technical ceramics, known as engineering ceramics, is an inorganic material that belongs to the group with the excellence mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Technical ceramics are characterized by high hardness, high compressive strength, low density, excellent wear resistance, resistance to high temperature, and is a good electrical insulator
