Calcium bromide (CaBr₂) is an ionic ceramic compound that exists primarily as a salt rather than a traditional structural ceramic. While not commonly used as an engineering structural material, calcium bromide is employed in specialized industrial applications where its hygroscopic and solubility properties are advantageous, particularly in oil and gas operations and laboratory settings. Engineers select this material for applications requiring high-density brines, completion fluids, or desiccant functions rather than for load-bearing or thermal applications typical of conventional ceramics.
