Izinto zeseramikhi zibhekisa kwizinto ezingezizo ezesinyithi ezingaphiliyo ezenziwe ngeekhompawundi zendalo okanye ezenziwe ngokwenziwa nangokusila. Zineengenelo zokunyibilika okuphezulu, ubulukhuni obuphezulu, ukumelana nokuguguleka okuphezulu kunye nokumelana nokuxinana kwe-oxidation. Itywina le-ceramic mechanical lisetyenziswa kakhulu koomatshini, kushishino lweekhemikhali, kwi-petroleum, kumayeza, kwiimoto nakwezinye iindawo.
Izitywino zoomatshini zifuna kakhulu izinto zokutywina, ngoko ke i-ceramic ithathwa njengesixhobo sokwenza isitywino soomatshini se-ceramic ngenxa yeempawu zayo zokukhuphisana.
