A clay-like material, consisting mainly of aluminum and magnesium oxides, which, after molding and firing, is used as insulation Ceramics are especially suitable for high temperature applications because of the absence of organic material; Any man-made solid produced by the fusion of mineral substances in a kiln The term 'ceramics' has come to signify the slip casting industry that uses talc-ball clay slurries to cast ware for firing at low temperatures The term 'pottery' is used to refer to those individuals and companies who fabricate their own ware using plastic clays of all types and at all temperature ranges; Ceramics are ceramic ornaments or objects. a collection of Chinese ceramics; Ceramics is the art of making artistic objects out of clay; An earthenware product made by firing clay A ceramic is usually a poor conductor of electricity; A general term referring to articles made of so-called earth materials i e : clay, sand, etc , processed by firing or baking The classification includes pottery, earthenware, china, glass refractories and abrasives; Polycrystalline ferroelectric materials which are used as the sensing units in piezoelectric accelerometers There are many different grades, all of which can be made in various configurations to satisfy different design requirements; Of or pertaining to pottery; relating to the art of making earthenware; as, ceramic products The vessels or ware made by potters; earthenware, glazed and baked; Any product made from earth derived materials such as clays, silicates, or sand, usually requiring the application of high temperature in a kiln or oven at some stage of the process; Any inorganic, nonmetallic solids processed or used in high temperatures The wide range of materials that fall within this classification includes ceramics that are composed of clay minerals, cement, and glass These materials are typically insulative to the passage of electricity and heat, and are more resistant to high temperatures and harsh environments than metals and polymers (plastics) With regards to mechanical behavior, ceramics are hard but very brittle; an artifact made of hard brittle material produced from nonmetallic minerals by firing at high temperatures; Ceramic is a process rather than a particular kind of magnet A powdered ferrous material (Strontium, Barium, etc ) is pressed and pounded into a desirable shape, then fired in a furnace Ceramic types of magnets aren't as efficient as far as magnetism per pound as AlNiCo magnets, but are much cheaper For instance, a 40oz ceramic ring magnet for loudspeakers costs about $3 in quantity A 40oz AlNiCo ring magnet costs about $50 Ceramics require a lot more force to demagnetize than comparable AlNiCo magnets, and are great for high powered speakers where the magnetism from the voice coil might partially demagnetize an AlNiCo magnet
