Ceramic Sintering Advantages

Cost economy compared with other processes.

Ceramic sintering advantages.

Ceramic is a polymer coated silicon carbide sic powder that provides exceptional dimensional accuracy because only 20 by volume of the powder is sintered. Good mechanical characteristics. The part once created with an sls machine is then fired in a kiln and only the ceramic part survives. Sintering happens naturally in mineral deposits or as a manufacturing process used with metals ceramics plastics and other materials the atoms in the materials diffuse across the boundaries of the particles fusing the particles.

High wear heat pressure and chemical attack resistance gas and liquids. Allows making complex geometries. While commonly related to powder processing of ceramic parts its important roles in other processes such as additive manufacturing nanotechnology and thin films are less commonly discussed. Sintering allows to obtain complex shapes directly from the compacting tooling without any machining operation like teeth splines profiles frontal geometries etc.

Stability in the process of big series. Sintering or frittage is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a material very similar to what makes up your bones.
