Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic materials characteristically crystalline in nature. They are compounds formed between metallic and non-metallic elements. Employment of heat upon processed clays and other natural raw materials produces rigid ceramic products. The properties of ceramic material can be stated by the kind of atoms present, the sort of bonding and the means of packing and the microstructure of the material. Due to its wide range of properties, it finds mass applications.
