Ceramic Sintering
Overview Guide

Sintering is the key and most difficult part. Molded industrial ceramics have to face uncertain temperatures, pressures, and times, and the heat must be controlled very accurately to achieve excellence. Bringing all the parameters to their best state requires engineers to put in a lot of effort and acceptance.

During the sintering process, industrial ceramic materials are processed in a well-adjusted sintering furnace to tightly sinter the advanced ceramic particles together to form a strong and compact solid.

Common Sintering Methods

In engineering ceramics, there are many methods for sintering materials. Process sintering technology mainly depends on the type of customer’s ceramic material, the performance required, and different methods are used due to the impact of manufacturing constraints and application requirements.

Advanced ceramic sintering

Choose the right mothod depends on the temperature and pressure conditions, control capabilities and more. Different sintering methods may have varying effects on the density, crystalline structure, mechanical properties and chemical stability of ceramic products. Therefore, specific application needs should be considered when selecting and optimizing the sintering method.

Promote customization and variety of options

Mastering the advanced sintering process enables you to master the special functions and customization capabilities of ceramic products. By controlling the composition of additives and sintering conditions, ceramic products can exhibit special properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, which can save lower costs and shorten time.

How Gorgeous Optimize the Sintering Process to Improve the Product Performance

When talking about the impact of advanced ceramic sintering processes on product performance, the following aspects are worth considering:

Temperature & Time Control

By controlling the temperature and time of the sintering process, product properties can be customized. We use smart equipment and big data models to present encounters in the sintering process in advance, predict errors in advance and improve densification, enhance crystal growth and reduce porosity.

Pressure & Atmosphere Adjustment

Improve the pressure and customized environment in the sintering furnace, and control and track the crystallization and density of sintering advanced ceramics throughout the process.

Additive & Binder Optimization

Using high-quality additives and binders, analyzing their composition and properties, and achieving the required structural standards and customization needs in customized ceramic products.

Post-Sintering Treatments

Post-sintering treatment should include annealing, hot isostatic pressing or surface treatment, and taking corresponding measures can improve the performance of industrial ceramic products. This eliminates residual stress, improves surface quality, saves costs and speeds up production.
