| Abstract Scope |
While recent strides have been achieved lately in the production of ceramics using additive manufacturing (AM) methods, avoiding in-process cracking remains a challenge. An alternative approach is to indirectly process the ceramic parts by using a transient binder. This presentation will cover a short history of the development of indirect ceramic processing methods. Specific research will focus on creation of reaction-bonded silicon carbide using powder bed fusion and post-processing infiltration with silicon. The process will be described. Metrology issues by processing step are presented. A second example presented is graphite powder infiltrated with cyanoacrylate (“Super Glue”). |
