The Achilles’ heel of ceramics is?

Ceramics can be made cheaply because what are the most abondent elements in the earth’s crust?

Using cross polarizers allows us to show what at the tip of a crack?

How can we strengthen ceramics?

Match the mechanism with the process:
1. Close surface cracks
2. Eliminate surface cracks
3. Limit surface cracks motion
