Ceramic Sintering Advantages

Cost economy compared with other processes.

Ceramic sintering advantages.

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. 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. The part once created with an sls machine is then fired in a kiln and only the ceramic part survives. Sintering is a ubiquitous processing step for manufacturing ceramics for a diverse set of applications.

Allows making complex geometries. Ceramic is a polymer coated silicon carbide sic powder that provides exceptional dimensional accuracy because only 20 by volume of the powder is sintered. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a material very similar to what makes up your bones. 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.
