When evaluating the impact of advanced ceramic molding processes on product performance, the following points need to be considered:
Density
The molding process affects the density of engineering ceramic products. Higher density increases mechanical properties such as strength, hardness and wear resistance. By choosing a matching molding method and controlling the sintering process, such as temperature, pressure and time, better characteristics can be obtained, thereby improving product performance.
Dimensional Control
The molding process plays a key role in the overall dimensions of industrial ceramic products and whether secondary processing is required. Precise dimensions and geometries ensure that one-shot molding can be achieved. The optimized molding process can achieve precise dimensional control, reduce dimensional deviations and deformations, and improve product accuracy and stability.
Structure and Purity
The molding process affects the structure and purity of industrial ceramics. Precision molding technology can produce smaller grain sizes and uniform microdistribution, thereby improving the mechanical properties and wear resistance of precision ceramics. By optimizing process accuracy standards and reducing impurity and defect content, cracking can be prevented and density improved.
Complexity of Molding
Advanced engineering ceramic molding processes can create complex shapes and structures. Advanced technologies such as direct injection molding of powders or 3D printing can produce ceramic products with complex internal structures and fine structural features. This allows rapid customization, rapid prototyping, and rapid delivery.
Surface Quality and Smoothness
The industrial ceramic molding process, especially different molds and different processes, affects the surface accuracy and flatness of the product. Stable and accurate molding technology can reduce surface defects, burrs and roughness, thereby obtaining a higher-precision surface, and the secondary processing RA can reach up to 1.2 microns.
