3. Advantages Of The Ceramic
Engine
Temperature
A ceramic cylinder will operate at the
highest temperature combustion of 3000K.
Efficient
The low friction ceramic doesn’t need to
cool the engine walls. This also means that
no part of the energy available from the
fuel is wasted to heat the atmosphere.
4. Examples of Ceramic Materials
Silicon nitride
used in engines and as a semiconductor in
transistors
Boron carbide
used in some helicopter and tank armor.
Ferrite
used in the core of electrical transformers.
Uranium oxide
used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
