I-ceramics yobuchwepheshe inamandla amakhulu emishini, ubulukhuni, ukumelana nokugqoka, ukumelana nokushisa, kanye nokuminyana okuphansi. Ngokuphathelene ne-conductivity, iyinto enhle kakhulu kagesi kanye ne-thermal insulator.
Ngemva kokushaqeka okushisayo, okuwukushisa okusheshayo okubangela ukuba i-ceramic yande, i-ceramic ingakwazi ukubhekana nokushintsha kwezinga lokushisa okungazelelwe ngaphandle kokuqhekeka, ukuphuka, noma ukulahlekelwa amandla ayo okusebenza.
Ukushaqeka okushisayo, okubuye kwaziwe ngokuthi "i-thermal collapse," ukuhlakazeka kwanoma iyiphi into eqinile ebangelwa ukushintsha okungazelelwe kwezinga lokushisa. Ukushintsha kwezinga lokushisa kungase kube kubi noma kube kuhle, kodwa kufanele kubonakale kunoma yiziphi izimo.
Izingcindezi zemishini zakha phakathi kwengaphandle lentokozo (igobolondo) nangaphakathi (umgogodla) njengoba lishisa noma lipholisa ngokushesha ngaphandle kunangaphakathi.
Okubalulekile konakaliswa ngendlela engenakulungiseka lapho umehluko wezinga lokushisa udlula umkhawulo othile. Izinto ezilandelayo zinomthelela kulelivelu lokushisa elibalulekile:
I-linear thermal expansion coefficient
I-Thermal conductivity
Isilinganiso sikaPoisson
I-Elastic module
Ukushintsha okukodwa noma ngaphezulu kwalokhu kuvame ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza, kodwa njengazo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-ceramic, ukushaqeka okushisayo kuyingxenye eyodwa kuphela ye-equation, futhi noma yiziphi izinguquko kufanele zicatshangelwe kumongo wazo zonke izidingo zokusebenza.
Lapho uklama noma yimuphi umkhiqizo we-ceramic, kubalulekile ukucabangela isidingo esiphelele futhi ngokuvamile uthole ukuyekethisa okungcono kakhulu okusebenzisekayo.
Ukushaqeka okushisayo kuvame ukuba imbangela eyinhloko yokwehluleka ezinhlelweni zokushisa eziphezulu. Yakhiwe izingxenye ezintathu: ukunwetshwa kwe-thermal, ukuqhutshwa kwe-thermal, namandla. Ukushintsha kwezinga lokushisa okusheshayo, kokubili phezulu naphansi, kubangela ukwehluka kwezinga lokushisa ngaphakathi kwengxenye, okufana nokuqhekeka okubangelwa ukuhlikihla i-ice cube engilazini eshisayo. Ngenxa yokwandiswa nokufinyela okuhlukahlukene, ukunyakaza kubangela ukuqhekeka nokwehluleka.
Azikho izixazululo ezilula zenkinga yokushaqeka okushisayo, kodwa iziphakamiso ezilandelayo zingase zibe usizo:
Khetha ibanga lezinto ezibonakalayo elinezici zokushaqeka okungokwemvelo kodwa elihlangabezana nezimfuneko zohlelo lokusebenza. I-silicon carbides iyamangalisa. Imikhiqizo esekwe ku-alumina ayithandeki kangako, kodwa ingathuthukiswa ngokuklama okufanele. Imikhiqizo enezimbotshana ngokuvamile ingcono kunengangeni ngenxa yokuthi iyakwazi ukumelana noshintsho olukhulu lokushisa.
Imikhiqizo enezindonga ezincane idlula leyo enezindonga eziwugqinsi. Futhi, gwema izinguquko ezinkulu zokuqina kuyo yonke ingxenye. Izingxenye zezingxenye zingakhethwa ngoba zinesisindo esincane kanye nomklamo oqhekekile onciphisa ingcindezi.
Gwema ukusebenzisa amakhona acijile, njengoba lezi kuyizindawo eziyinhloko zokwakhiwa kwemifantu. Gwema ukubeka ukungezwani ku-ceramic. Izingxenye zingaklanywa ukuthi zigcizelelwe ngaphambili ukusiza ukudambisa le nkinga. Hlola inqubo yokufaka isicelo ukuze ubone ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukunikeza ngokushintsha kwezinga lokushisa kancane kancane, njengokushisa kuqala i-ceramic noma ukunciphisa izinga lokushisa.
