Ceramics: The main raw materials of ceramics are natural clay and various natural minerals.

Glass: The main raw materials of glass are glass forming agent, glass modifier and glass intermediate, and the rest are auxiliary raw materials.

Second, the production process is different.

Ceramics: The manufacturing process of ceramics includes batching, molding, drying and roasting.

Glass: The production process of glass includes raw material pretreatment, batching, melting, molding and heat treatment.

Third, transparency is different.

Ceramics: Ceramic ware has low transparency.

Glass: Glassware has high transparency.

Fourth, the application is different.

Ceramics: Ceramics are mainly used in radio, aviation, atomic energy, metallurgy, machinery, chemistry and other industries.

Glass: Glass is widely used in architecture, daily use, art, medical treatment, chemistry, electronics, instrumentation, nuclear engineering and other fields.
