Do you know about the manufacturing process of technical ceramics?

With the continuous development of science and technology, the progress of industrial ceramics has also made many breakthroughs,especially the research and development of multiphase composite ceramics and nanoceramics. Technical Ceramics are a kind of Fine Ceramics, which can play mechanical, thermal, chemical and other functions in applications. So how much do you know about the manufacturing process of technical ceramics?

The main manufacturing processes of industrial ceramics include following procedures, material formulating, green body forming, sintering and secondary processing of sintered Ceramic parts.

1. Raw material formulating

The first is to use physical, chemical and other methods to process the powder to obtain the powder of the required specifications; Then, weigh and mix various raw materials according to the ingredients of the ceramic, The next, make the compound to be different forms per different shaping methods.

2.Shaping methods of green ceramic body

Shaping is to make the ready compound into a green ceramic part with a certain shape and size. The methods mainly include  wet plastic molding, grouting molding, compression molding, ceramic injection molding, hot pressing, isostatic pressing, plastic molding, and belt molding and so on.

3. Sintering

Sintering is a process of heating the formed body at a high temperature below the melting point to cause the internal powders to adhere to each other, resulting in densification and high strength after material migration.

4.Secondary processes

After the ceramic is formed and sintered, it can be further precision-processed as required to meet the accuracy requirements of surface roughness, shape, and size, such as grinding,polishing, ultrasonic processing, laser processing, and even cutting processing and so on.

How much do you know about the production process of the above industrial ceramics? Industrial ceramics have a series of advantages such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and erosion resistance. They can replace metal materials and organic polymer materials for harsh working environments and have become a tradition. An important material in industrial transformation, emerging industries and high-tech, it has a very broad application prospect in the fields of energy, aerospace, machinery, automotive, electronics, chemical and other fields.
