Introduction in Ceramic Technologies
A broad definition of ceramic is any inorganic, nonmetallic material. In other words, any solid material that is not a plastic or a metal can be defined as a ceramic.

Advanced ceramics perform very well in compression, but some engineers have the misconception that ceramics cannot be used in tension. While careful attention to failure modes is required, ceramics can perform well in tension with proper design. Alumina, for example, has 3-5 times the tensile strength of many plastics, and about half that of 316 stainless steel. Further, some Zirconia-Alumina composites have bending strength that rivals hardened tool steel.
