Abstract:
The present invention relates to a suspension comprising 50-95% by weight of the total suspension (w/w) of at least one metallic material and/or ceramic material and/or polymeric material and/or solid carbon containing material; and at least 5% by weight of the total suspension of one or more fatty acids or derivatives thereof. In addition, the invention relates to uses of such suspension in 3D printing processes.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for preparing of at least one ceramic shaped part. A cavity is provided between at least one external shape and at least one internal shape. A Si-containing powder composition is then provided in the cavity. The composition is then heated in a reactive gas atmosphere to obtain a reaction bounded ceramic shaped part. Use of the apparatus is also described.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A silicon carbide-graphite composite is described, including (i) interior bulk graphite material and (ii) exterior silicon carbide matrix material, wherein the interior bulk graphite material and exterior silicon carbide matrix material inter-penetrate one another at an interfacial region therebetween, and wherein graphite is present in inclusions in the exterior silicon carbide matrix material. Such material may be formed by contacting a precursor graphite article with silicon monoxide (SiO) gas under chemical reaction conditions that are effective to convert an exterior portion of the precursor graphite article to a silicon carbide matrix material in which graphite is present in inclusions therein, and wherein the silicon carbide matrix material and interior bulk graphite material interpenetrate one another at an interfacial region therebetween. Such silicon carbide-graphite composite is usefully employed in applications such as implant hard masks in manufacturing solar cells or other optical, optoelectronic, photonic, semiconductor and microelectronic products, as well as in ion implantation system materials, components, and assemblies, such as beam line assemblies, beam steering lenses, ionization chamber liners, beam stops, and ion source chambers.
Abstract:
There is provided a ceramic sintered body which has excellent thermal shock resistance and which is not susceptible to discoloration due to oxidation, and an anticorrosion member, filter ad antihalation member formed using the same. A ceramic sintered body includes silicon nitride in an amount of greater than or equal to 80% by mass based on a total mass of the ceramic sintered body, compounds containing Fe and Si being scattered in a surface portion of the ceramic sintered body, and particles of the compounds having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.05 µm or more but 5 µm or less being present in a number of greater than or equal to 2.0 × 10 4 but less than or equal to 2.0 × 10 5 per 1 mm 2 . Thus, the ceramic sintered body has excellent thermal shock resistance and is not susceptible to discoloration due to oxidation.
Abstract:
Method for producing an object by additively manufacturing a preform of the object from a building material comprising a polymer. The preform is encapsulated with a metal or metal alloy encapsulant that is capable of withstanding temperatures greater than the preform. The encapsulated preform is heated at a predetermined temperature and for a period of time, such that the preform at least partially transmutes into the form of a carbonaceous solid.
