Their high melting point has led to their use in engines and turbines at elevated temperatures. As a consequence of their improved toughness, they have been incorporated in the design of body armour. Their excellent wear resistance, high compressive strength properties, pleasing aesthetic appearance and proven biocompatibility have led to the development of a specific range of what are referred to bioceramics which are now used extensively in many different areas of medicine to augment or replace parts of the body.
Alumina and zirconia are used to manufacture components of hip joint replacements; hydroxyapatite HA and glass ceramics are used as coatings on prosthetic stems; calcium phosphate based materials are used as porous scaffolds, spinal implants and bone grafts; composites of HA combined with a polymer are used to manufacture replacements for the bones of the inner ear — these are only a few examples of the wide range of applications of ceramics in medical engineering.

Pergamon Press: Oxford, Google Scholar. Callister WD. Edwards L and Endean M. Manufacturing with Materials, Butterworth Heinemann: Oxford, Ceramics and Glasses consists of articles divided into 15 major sections that define and classify ceramic materials and provide introductory information on each class.
Processing of ceramic materials, powder processing, forming methods, sintering, and final shaping machining are described. Reliable methods of joining ceramics are also examined. Two sections that follow are devoted to the characterization tools available for studying ceramics and glasses.
Processing-structure-property relationships are introduced. The knowledge required to design structural elements and concepts of design methodology are addressed. Applications include: gas turbine engines, gasoline engines, and whisker-toughened ceramic components.
