Common forming technology for alumina ceramic

There are many molding methods for alumina ceramic, such as extrusion, injection, dry pressing, hot pressing and other molding methods. In recent years, many new molding technologies have been developed at home and abroad, which can be customized according to different shapes and sizes of products.

Molding method:

Here are the two most commonly used molding techniques:

Grouting molding method: This is the earliest molding technology of alumina ceramics, and the cost is relatively low. It is suitable for ceramic with complex shapes and large dimensions. The alumina slurry of this molding method usually uses water as a medium and then adds a binder and a deboning agent. After grinding, it is exhausted and finally introduced into the plaster mold. If it is hollow grouting, when the mold wall is adsorbed to a sufficient thickness of slurry, the excess slurry needs to be poured out to reduce the shrinkage of the green body, so it is necessary to choose slurry with a high concentration as much as possible.

Dry press molding method:

 This molding technology is only used for ceramic with simple shapes, internal thickness exceeding 1mm and diameter and length not exceeding 4:1. There are two types of methods: single axis and bidirectional axis. The press is divided into mechanical chamber press and hydraulic press. There are automatic and semi-automatic forming methods. Among them, the maximum pressure of the press is 200MPA, and it can produce about 15-50 ceramic per minute. Because the stroke pressure of the hydraulic press is evenly distributed, the height of the pressed ceramic will be different when the filling powder is different. The mechanical press is the opposite. It will generate corresponding pressure with the amount of powder filled. It is easier to shrink the size after sintering, which affects the quality of the product. Therefore, the uneven distribution of the powder during the dry pressing process is particularly important for filling and has a great influence on the precise control of the size of the alumina ceramic parts manufactured
