Application Fields, Advantages and Disadvantages of New Ceramic Materials

With the emergence of metal ceramic sand, the sandblasting process obtains rapid development, whose applications in the field of aerospace, automobile and other industrial manufacturing, sandblasting, surface finishing and shot peening, push extensive and in-depth research for ceramic materials. Because there is glass phase in the ceramics, ceramics become hard and dense. But at the same time, it also hinders the further improvement of the strength of ceramics.

The application areas of ceramic sand include:

A, The sandblasting and finishing of plastics, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper and other alloy workpieces;

B, The inner and outer surface cleaning and polishing of steel, copper and other metal pipes;

C, The grinding and dispersing of chemical industry, food, medicine and other liquid and powder; 

D, The "vibration polishing" of precious metal jewelry with complex structure;

E, All kinds of electrical appliances, machinery, chemical industry and other equipment need to use "precision ceramic ball";

F, It can replace the traditional materials (plastic, metal, etc.) - zirconia “ceramic structure";

G, The "shot blasting and strengthening" of aviation, ships, automobiles, machinery and other metal parts.

The advantages and disadvantages of new ceramic materials: Ceramic material has its unique advantages on the function; Ceramic material is a kind of inorganic non-metallic materials made from natural or synthetic compounds through forming and high temperature sintering.

In the aspect of heat and mechanical properties, it has high temperature resistance, heat insulation, high hardness, good wear resistance, etc.; On electrical properties, it is insulated, piezoelectric, semi-conductive and magnetic; In chemicals, it has catalysis, corrosion and adsorption function; In biology, it has certain biological compatibility performance and can be used as a biological structure materials. But it also has its disadvantages, such as brittleness. Therefore, the research and development of new functional ceramics is an important field in material science.
