Although present-day passenger-car diesel engines have attained a high level of development, further progress is desirable with regard to their economy, exhaust emissions, noise and service life. The further development of the engines places rising demands on high temperature strength, heat-insulation properties and erosion resistance of the materials used. Ceramic materials are capable of contributing to the solution of these problems if success is achieved in mastering the inherent characteristic properties of such materials, above all, e.g. their brittleness, the wide spread of their strength values and their sensitivity to thermal shock. In the following, it is intended to examine more closely the extent to which proof can be furnished - also under practical conditions - of the engine-improvement potential that is theoretically derivable from the known properties of ceramic materials.
