Do ceramic fasteners provide strength?

Q: Do ceramic fasteners provide strength?
A: The answer to your question is both yes and no. They provide decent tensile strength similar to some stainless steels(Aluminia bolts has a tensile strength of 30 ksi and Zirconia screws 75 ksi), however they don’t have any yield strength. Due to the fact that they are brittle and lack yield strength, they are susceptible to cracking and fracturing under varying conditions.
