High wear heat pressure and chemical attack resistance gas and liquids.
Ceramic sintering advantages.
Products ready for assembly.
Good mechanical characteristics.
Stability in the process of big series.
The part once created with an sls machine is then fired in a kiln and only the ceramic part survives.
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.
The general properties of ceramic material present the following advantages.
Allows making complex geometries.
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.
Calcium hydroxyapatite is a material very similar to what makes up your bones.
Sintering is a ubiquitous processing step for manufacturing ceramics for a diverse set of applications.
