Ceramic production in the beginning of the invention and it is mainly used for building materials, as technology continues to evolve and people more in-depth understanding of the performance of ceramic, ceramic materials applications already exceeded the scope of this tradition, expanding its application of new fields. Ceramic materials are now in the application, has been decreased from 100% to 80%, in other applications, accounted for 20%. With the continuous development of new uses for ceramic, it is the proportion in other areas will be gradually increased.
