摘要:
The present invention describes a method of CVI densification in which particular arrangements and mixtures of undensified porous substrates and partially densified porous substrates are arranged in particular ways in order to use the thermal characteristics of the partially densified porous substrates to better distribute heat throughout a CVI furnace and thereby improve densification.
摘要:
Method for producing by laser gastight and high-temperature resistant connections of shaped parts made of non-oxidic ceramic. The invention relates to the fields of ceramics and laser technology and relates to a method with which, e.g., low-melting-point or radioactive materials can be enclosed inside a container made of ceramic. The object of the invention is to produce a durable, gastight and high-temperature resistant connection between components made of non-oxidic ceramic. Shaped parts made of the ceramic are provided on the surfaces to be joined with a solder of 80-30% by weight yttrium oxide and/or 55-15% by weight zirconium oxide, 20-70% by weight aluminum oxide, 0-50% by weight silicon dioxide and 0-10% by weight silicon, and subsequently the temperature at the joint area is increased above the melting temperature of the solder by means of a laser without the presence of a protective gas atmosphere or a vacuum.
摘要:
A method for forming ceramic articles for prototypes that involves the use of metal particles or metal-coated ceramic particles that are formed into ceramic articles using a laser engineered net shaping process. The metal particles or metal coating on the ceramic particles facilitates bonding between the ceramic particles to enable quick manufacture of ceramic articles using the laser engineered net shaping process. The ceramic articles may be ceramic core prototypes and may be used in a variety of different industries.
摘要:
A process for forming a ceramic object using selective laser sintering of ceramic powder is provided. The chemical composition and size distribution of the powder may be varied between various regions of the object, and the temperature achieved by laser heating may be varied between regions to achieve the desired degree of densification. In one embodiment, a ceramic mold (1) is formed in to have an envelope portion (4) and a core portion (7) with differing properties using a fast prototyping laser sintering process.

Method for making ceramic work piece or cermet work piece is realized by utilizing a multi-layer processing method. Several kinds of materials are mixed to form slurry. Then the slurry is formed into a thin green layer, which will be dried by infrared light, so that the thin green layer will be hardened. Next, the thin green layer exposed under a high-energy beam is sintered to bond together locally due to heat effect at different temperature levels, respectively. After multiple repetitions of this procedure a three-dimensional ceramic part or cermet part can be fabricated layer upon layer. The green portion, which is not scanned by the high-energy beam, can be removed with suitable methods, such as submerged in water or sodium hydroxide water solution, due to disparate characteristics of scanned and unscanned portions. A ceramic part or a cermet part can be rapidly produced in this way.
摘要:
A method for joining similar materials to create multi-component assemblies so the joint materials share similar physical, chemical, and electrical characteristics with the base materials. The method includes aligning the materials, applying joining material, focusing a microwave beam on the joint area to initially heat the joint area to allow the joining material to soften and fill physical discontinuities while the surrounding surfaces remains cool, rapidly heating the joint area to the reactive area of the joining material, rapidly cooling the joint area and maintaining the joint area at a recrystallization temperature. The materials can be ceramics such as aluminum oxide.
