What is ceramics and what are the classifications of ceramics

Recently, I found that many people and friends don’t know much about ceramics, nor do they know the classification of ceramics. Today, the editor of the tableware supplier will take you to understand.

1. What is ceramic

Traditionally, the concept of ceramics refers to all the hard materials formed by using clay as the main raw material and other natural mineral raw materials after proper proportioning, crushing, molding, and a series of physical and chemical reactions under high-temperature baking. Common daily-use ceramics, architectural ceramics and electric porcelain are also called traditional ceramics. With the development of science and technology and the progress of social civilization, people's requirements for ceramic products are getting higher and higher. The broad concept of ceramics is already inorganic non-metal solid materials and products manufactured by ceramic production methods.

2. Classification:

①According to the concept and use of ceramics: ordinary ceramics and special ceramics (the details are not introduced here)

②Classification according to the physical properties of the green body: It is a more scientific classification method according to the essence of the ceramic product green body, that is, the structure of the green body and the corresponding basic physical properties.

This classification method divides all ceramic products into two categories: pottery and porcelain according to the different structures of the ceramic blanks and the density of the marked blanks.

Pottery is a kind of ceramic product with a loose body structure and poor density. It usually has a certain water absorption rate, a rough and matt section, no translucency, and a rough knocking sound;

The porcelain body is compact, basically non-absorbent, has a certain degree of translucency, and the section is stone-like or shell-like.
