Abstract

Following a brief introduction to monolithic structural ceramics and their mechanical properties and micromechanisms of toughening, the materials development and salient features of various high- and ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) ceramics are discussed. The discussion includes alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, molybdenum disilicide and carbon-based ceramics. Subsequently, emerging ceramics such as the titanium- and zirconium-boride ceramics are introduced and discussed. Finally, the Indian scenario on the development and production of these materials is described.
