The invention and development of ceramic engineering has added another dimension to the function of clay. As an alternative material to metal, which is vulnerable to moister and water and eventual rust.
Clay is heat resistant and can withstand weather conditions without any deterioration to the biscuit or glazed ceramic.
Ceramic engineering concept is based on creating a non-metallic material to be used in, electrical, chemical and mechanical engineering.
Which is used in wide rang of industries such as mining, aerospace, medicine, refinery, packaging science, electronics, transmission electricity and guided light wave transmission. This invention started in 1960 and 1970 as part of military technology in atomic energy, electronics, communication and space travel.
In 1986 the discovery of Super conductors lead to the development of ceramic part for electronic devices, electric motors and transportations equipment.
Ceramic engines do not require a cooling system and its lighter and
