What is the Properties of Ceramic? What is the Characteristics of Ceramic?

Characteristics of Ceramics bodies are given below:

•     Ceramics are hard and brittle.
•     Strong in compression.   
•     Weak in shearing and tension. 
•     Withstands chemical erosion due to acidic or caustic environments.
•     Extreme hardness.
•     Ceramic Bodies are High wear resistance.
•     Extreme hardness can reduce wear caused by friction.
•     Corrosion resistance.
•     Ceramic products are Heat resistance.
•     Low electrical conductivity.
•     Low thermal conductivity. 
•     Low thermal expansion.
•     Poor thermal shock resistance.
