陶瓷配件，是指用特种陶瓷材料经过混料、成型、烧结、加工工序制成的机械零部件。特种陶瓷材料作为一种无机非金属材料，具有诸多金属材料所不具备的性能，如：高强度、高硬度、高弹性模量、耐高温、耐磨损、耐腐蚀、抗氧化、抗热震。特种陶瓷材料可以是氧化物陶瓷、氮化物陶瓷、硼化物陶瓷、碳化物陶瓷等。
 从航天、军事角度，利用特种陶瓷的耐高温性能，可以用在航天飞机的隔热瓦、洲际导弹的弹头、火箭喷管部件。民用范围也相当广泛，如常用的发动机燃烧室、活塞顶、转子、耐腐蚀叶轮等可以将金属配件替换的领域。（图/文www.cddnvga.cn）
中译英：
Ceramic parts, refers to the use of special ceramic materials after mixing, molding, sintering, mechanical parts processing. Special ceramic material is a kind of inorganic non-metallic materials, has a lot of metal materials do not have the properties, such as: high strength, high hardness, high elastic modulus, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, thermal shock. Special ceramic material may be a ceramic oxide, nitride, carbide, boride ceramics ceramics.

From space, the military point of view, the use of special ceramic high temperature performance, can be used in the space shuttle tiles, intercontinental missile warheads, rocket nozzle component. Civil range is quite extensive, such as commonly used in the combustion chamber of the engine, the piston crown, rotor, corrosion resistant impeller and other metal parts can be replaced in the field.
