Thermal shock is one of the most common causes of cracking in high-temperature ceramics. When a ceramic component is rapidly heated or cooled, uneven expansion or contraction creates internal stresses that can exceed the material’s strength. Fortunately, with the right materials, design, and operating practices, these failures can be dramatically reduced.
