Near Net Shape Forming of Advanced Structural Ceramic Devices

A Novel Rapid Prototyping Technique for Complex-Shape Monolithic Parts

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides valuable information on the making
of complex-shape monolithic energy devices. The
author discussed a new technology that combined rapid
prototyping techniques and ceramic gelcasting
processes in the design and manufacturing of advanced
structural ceramic components that cannot be
fabricated by other shape-forming processes. The
fabricated micro gas turbine rotors, micro inlet
nozzles, mesoscale burner arrays, and micro heat
exchangers have demonstrated superior shape accuracy,
mechanical strength, and surface smoothness with a
feature size less than 200 um. The design concepts
and functionalities of the ceramic devices were
verified with performance tests. The shape
complexity and surface quality of monolithic ceramic
parts have been further improved through the use of
novel mold assembly methods and new materials. A
complete shape forming process (from slurry to final
functional parts) was developed and introduced.
