1 Scope
This document specifies terms and associated definitions which are typically used
for fine ceramic ( advanced ceramic , advanced technical ceramic ) materials, products, applications, properties and processes. This document also
contains those abbreviated terms which have found general acceptance in scientific
and technical literature; they are given together with the corresponding full terms
and definitions or descriptions.
In this document, terms are defined using the term ‘ fine ceramic ’. The definitions apply equally to ‘ advanced ceramics ’ and ‘ advanced technical ceramics ’, which are considered to be equivalent.
This document does not include terms which, though used in the field of fine ceramics , are of a more general nature and are also well known in other fields of technology.
NOTE Terms and definitions of a more general nature are available in ASTM C 1145‑2019, EN 14232 and JIS R 1600.
