Let's take a look at how ceramic products and components affect many of the things you do nearly every day. Ceramic Engineering makes these products and components possible. The alarm clock that wakes you up contains electronic ceramic components such as resistors, and capacitors. Its buzzer may be ceramic. Wall and floor tiles, bathroom sinks, and toilets are highly complex ceramic materials whose production depends on the control of many variables.
Electric toothbrushes depend on ceramic components.
In the kitchen, all appliances contain, you guessed it, ceramic components. The automatic ignition systems in gas ranges are based on ceramics called piezoelectrics. By the way, the electricity got to the building in lines supported by ceramic insulators. Ceramic plates, bowls, and cups are found in every household. Everyday products, to be sure, but complicated in their microstructure and challenging to manufacture consistently.
