Abstract:
A sintered machinable glass-ceramic is provided. The machinable glass-ceramic is formed by mixing phyllosilicate material having a sheet structure, with a glass fit and firing the mixture at relatively low temperatures to sinter the phyllosilicate, while maintaining the sheet-like morphology of the phyllosilicate and its associated cleaving properties. The sintered machinable glass-ceramic can be machined with conventional metal working tools and includes the electrical properties of the phyllosilicate. Producing the sintered machinable glass-ceramic does not require the relatively high-temperature bulk nucleation and crystallization needed to form sheet phyllosilicate phases in situ.
Abstract:
A feedstock material for use as a support material in an additive manufacturing system includes a pre-ceramic material in powder form. The preceramic material comprises calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium aluminate or combinations thereof. The feedstock material includes a thermoplastic binder having the pre-ceramic material dispersed therein, wherein the pre-ceramic material and the thermoplastic binder are in a filament form. The filament is configured to be melted and extruded to form a support structure for a ceramifable article in a layer by layer manner, wherein the pre-ceramic material is at least about 50% of the feedstock material.
Abstract:
An actuator (10) includes a fired ceramic substrate (12) having a space (14) opened downward, a first electrode (22) formed on the upper surface of the fired ceramic substrate above the space, a piezoelectric/electrostrictive body (30) formed on the first electrode so that the volume changes with input and output of electric power, and a second electrode (24) formed on the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive body is composed of Pb(Zr 1-x Ti x )O 3 or (Li, Na, K) (Nb, Ta)O 3 as a main component and contains crystals (32) oriented along the direction of an electric field. In the actuator, the degree of orientation of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body can be increased regardless of the orientation of the substrate on which the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body is formed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an organic solvent slurry composition for ceramic green sheets, which contains a ceramic raw material powder containing boron and an alkaline earth metal, and a binder component. This organic solvent slurry composition for ceramic green sheets hardly causes gelation or viscosity increase, while having excellent degreasing property. Specifically disclosed is a slurry composition for ceramic green sheets containing a ceramic raw material powder containing boron and an alkaline earth metal, an acrylic binder component, β-diketone as a chelating agent, and an organic solvent. In this slurry composition, the weight ratio of the β-diketone content relative to the total of boron and the alkaline earth metal in the ceramic raw material powder is 0.020-0.040. This slurry composition is advantageously used, for example, for forming a ceramic layer (3) in a multilayer ceramic substrate (1).
