I take issue with the bar graph. Fracture strength of the ceramics should be much higher than the steel.

Ceramics are more brittle to impact loading, but to static loading they can take a lot more load. Unless you are talking some really serious steel with expensive heat treatments and crappy ceramics ceramics usually have a UT much higher than alloys or metals.
