Liquid phase sintering is the process of adding an additive to the powder which will melt before the matrix phase. The process of liquid phase sintering has three stages: rearrangement – As the liquid melts capillary action will pull the liquid into pores and also cause grains to rearrange into a more favorable packing arrangement.
Compaction of ceramic powders is a forming technique for ceramics in which granular ceramic materials are made cohesive through mechanical densification, either by hot or cold pressing. The resulting green part must later be sintered in a kiln. The compaction process permits an efficient production of parts to close tolerances with low drying ...
Unlike the additive manufacturing of polymeric materials, the scope of AM of ceramics remains quite limited owing to materials processing challenges. Commercially available equipment for the AM of ceramics mostly relies on layer by layer sintering of powders and is rarely cost-effective.
Tape casting (also called doctor blading, knife coating, and shank shifting) [1] is a casting process used in the manufacture of thin ceramic tapes and sheets from ceramic slurry. [2] The ceramic slurry is cast in a thin layer onto a flat surface and then dried and sintered. [3] It's a part of powder metallurgy. [4]: 167
The lower sintering temperature for LTCC materials is made possible through the addition of a glassy phase to the ceramic, which lowers its melting temperature. [ 1 ] Due to a multilayer approach based on glass-ceramics sheets, this technology offers the possibility to integrate into the LTCC body passive electrical components and conductor ...
Porous ceramic membranes are typically manufactured through a slip coating-sintering process. In this process a support is initially made by sintering particles of a ceramic material into a mold with a binding agent. The surface of this support is then coated in a solution of finer ceramic particles and a polymeric binder.
An example of CMC manufacture, which was introduced for the production of ceramic brake discs, is the reaction of silicon with a porous preform of C/C. [14] The process temperature is above 1,414 °C (2,577 °F), that is above the melting point of silicon, and the process conditions are controlled such that the carbon fibers of the C/C-preform ...
SPS is also used for sintering of carbon nanotubes [11] for development of field electron emission electrodes. Functioning of SPS systems is schematically explained in a video link. [12] While the term "spark plasma sintering" is commonly used, the term is misleading since neither a spark nor a plasma is present in the process. [13]
