Cordierite is a specialized ceramic material created through the combination of alumina, china clay (or kaolin), and talc. Alumina, known for its excellent thermal stability and hardness, provides the material with high resistance to heat and wear. China clay, or kaolin, acts as a binding agent and imparts the necessary plasticity to the mixture, making it easier to mold and shape during the manufacturing process. Talc, a naturally occurring mineral, contributes to enhancing the overall smoothness and workability of the blend, facilitating better shaping and finish. Together, these components produce Cordierite, a robust ceramic product with remarkable durability, heat resistance, and mechanical strength. This makes it particularly useful in applications such as refractory linings, high-temperature insulation, and other industrial processes where materials must withstand extreme conditions without degrading or losing their structural integrity.

Ans: B) High thermal shock resistance This crucial property enables the material to withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or deteriorating. High thermal shock resistance is crucial for materials used in high – temperature environments like gas turbines because it enables the material to withstand rapid temperature changes without deteriorating. Gas turbines experience frequent, extreme fluctuations in temperature due to rapid heating and cooling cycles. If the material has low thermal shock resistance, these sudden changes can induce thermal stress, leading to cracking or material degradation. Enhancing thermal shock resistance allows the ceramic material to absorb and dissipate thermal stresses more effectively, making it resilient to temperature variations and prolonging its lifespan in demanding applications.

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are strong, lightweight materials with excellent heat and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for high-temperature and wear-resistant applications. Cars with CMCs are faster primarily due to weight reduction and heat resistance. CMC components like brakes and engine parts are significantly lighter than traditional metals, improving the car’s power-to-weight ratio for quicker acceleration. They also withstand higher operating temperatures, preventing performance loss from overheating, such as brake fade. The reduced weight enhances handling and fuel efficiency, while better braking allows for more efficient speed control during high-performance driving. Overall, CMCs enable faster, more agile vehicles by optimizing both weight and thermal management without sacrificing durability.

Ans: a) Ability to use high – viscosity ceramic slurries In additive manufacturing, especially Direct Ink Writing (DIW) high – viscosity ceramic slurries are used because it directly influences the material selection, complexity of the components and precision. Reason: In additive manufacturing, especially Direct Ink Writing (DIW) high – viscosity ceramic slurries are used as it directly influences the material selection, precision and the complexity of the components to be manufactured. DIW is designed to handle concentrated ceramic slurries. These slurries essentially consist of ceramic particles dispersed in a liquid medium with necessary additives and binders. The ability to extrude high – viscosity inks lead to the formation of stable, self – supporting structures while printing. This is of significant importance in fabrication process because the slurry needs to retain its shape once it is deposited, thus allowing the construction of complex structures. Traditional ceramic processing like molding struggles to produce complex structures, requires multiple steps and is time consuming whereas in advance methods like DIW allows for direct, layer – by – layer building of complex structures.
