Report forecast the global glass ceramics market to
grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the period 2016-2020.
Glass ceramics are microcrystalline solids that are
produced by the controlled devitrification of glass. Glasses are molten and
fabricated to the required shape; they are finally converted by heat treatment
to form a crystalline ceramic. Controlled crystallization lies in efficient
internal nucleation, permitting the development of fine and randomly oriented
grains without microcracks, voids, or other porosity. The ability to be formed
into complex shapes by blowing, pressing, and rolling by employing a high-speed
plastic forming processes that are used in glass industry is a significant
advantage of glass ceramics over conventional ceramics.
The properties exhibited by glass ceramics depend
upon the microstructure of the ceramics and the composition of the raw
materials used. The bulk chemical compositions help in monitoring the ability
to form a glass and its degree of workability.
Silicate-based wastes such as slag from steel
production, coal combustion ash, filter dust from waste incinerators and fly
ash, and mud from metal hydrometallurgy along with different forms of sludge
and mixtures of glass cullet have been considered for the manufacture of glass
ceramics.
The report covers the present scenario and the
growth prospects of the global glass ceramics market for 2016-2020.
The market is divided into the following
segments based on geography:
- APAC
- Europe
- North America
- ROW
According to the report, ceramic materials are
widely used in building projects in commercial and industrial sectors as these
materials effectively help reduce sound and are cost-effective compared to
other materials. The glass ceramics of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system show promise
as construction materials. They are used for abrasion and chemically resistant
parts or floor and wall tile in the chemical, mechanical, construction as well
as heavy industries.
Further, the report states that glass ceramics are
prepared using sol-gel technology. However, the cost associated with sol-gel
technology is high because of the high cost of precursors.
