What Is Ceramic Manufacturing?
Ceramic manufacturing is the process of producing items like pottery and tiles from refractory materials.
This process begins with the mining and uniform mixing of natural materials, such as clay and minerals, to achieve the desired composition. The mixture is then shaped through extrusion molding, casting, or manual methods. After shaping, the items undergo stages of drying, where moisture is removed, and firing, where they are baked at high temperatures to harden. Once cooled, finishing touches like polishing, coloring, and coating are applied.
Ceramics are known for their refractoriness, durability, and insulation properties, making them ideal for various applications, including pottery, tiles, electronic components, and dental materials.
