Structural ceramics are mainly based on the mechanics and structural applications of materials, with characteristics such as high strength, high hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance, accounting for about 30% of the entire ceramic market. Structural ceramics mainly include cutting tools, molds, wear-resistant parts, pump and valve components, engine components, heat exchangers, and armor. The main materials include silicon nitride (Si3N4), silicon carbide (SiC), zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), boron carbide (B4C), titanium diboride (TiB2), aluminum oxide (A12O3), and Sialon.
