    摘要: A sintered ceramic ball is described that includes an incomplete ceramic ball portion with a wall with an exterior surface, the wall having an interior space located radially interior of an inner surface of the wall. The incomplete ceramic ball portion also has an exterior surface, the exterior surface having an exterior surface area. The sintered ceramic ball further includes a ceramic plug joined with the incomplete ceramic ball portion to form a continuous exterior ball surface. The ceramic plug includes an exterior plug surface and a plug wall. The plug surface includes an exterior plug surface area, wherein the exterior plug surface area is between about 5% to 49.9% of the sum of the exterior surface area of the incomplete ceramic ball portion and the exterior plug surface area. The interior space of the sintered ceramic ball is sealed within the wall and the plug wall.

    摘要: The invention provides tooling (100) for acting during heat treatment to support a preform (110) of a three-dimensional part obtained by shaping a metal or ceramic powder, the preform presenting at least one bearing surface (112) on which it can rest and at least one suspended surface (111) that is suspended relative to the bearing surface, the tooling comprising a tray (120), and a plurality of blocks (130) arranged on the tray and each having at least one surface (130a) for supporting the preform, the blocks being suitable for moving relative to one another by sliding on the tray between a first position in which the blocks are spaced apart from one another and together define a first volume, and a second position in which the blocks together define a second volume that is smaller than the first volume. The invention also provides a method of heat treating a preform made of powder and using such tooling.
