1. Material Preparation:
Begin by thoroughly mixing aluminum oxide powder with other additives according to specified ratios. Additives may include stabilizers and enhancers, which help adjust the material’s properties and processing characteristics.
2. Mold Preparation:
Select an appropriate mold that matches the desired final product’s shape and size. The mold can be single-cavity or multi-cavity, and can be customized to create various shapes.
3. Mold Filling:
Place the well-mixed aluminum oxide powder and additives into the mold. Manual or mechanical methods are used to ensure uniform filling, while minimizing the presence of air pockets and impurities.
4. Pressing:
Insert the filled mold into a pressing equipment and apply high pressure. The pressure magnitude depends on material properties and the desired density. During pressing, the material particles undergo deformation and bonding, resulting in a strong ceramic green body.
5. Demolding:
After pressing is complete, open the mold and remove the pressed ceramic green bodies. In some cases, a reverse pressure technique can be applied to facilitate easy release of the bodies from the mold, enabling better control over dimensions and shape.
6. Post-processing:
The pressed ceramic green bodies typically undergo additional post-processing steps such as drying, binder removal, and trimming. These steps aid in removing residual moisture and organic matter, preparing the bodies for subsequent sintering.
Advantages:
– Cost-effectiveness: Pressing is an economically viable production technique that requires simple equipment and process steps.
– Production efficiency: The pressing process is relatively quick and straightforward, making it suitable for large-scale production.
– High dimensional accuracy: Through mold design and control, it is possible to achieve high dimensional precision and consistency.
Disadvantages:
– Shape limitations: Pressing has limitations in reproducing complex shapes and intricate details. The mold’s shape restricts the achievable product shapes.
– Pressing stress: The application of high pressure during pressing may lead to the accumulation of internal stress within the material, potentially causing cracks or deformations.
– Non-uniform density: Variations in material filling and the pressing process can result in some degree of density variation within the ceramic green bodies.
Pressing is a significant technique in aluminum oxide ceramic production. However, when selecting a production method, factors such as product requirements, shape complexity, and batch size need to be considered.
