Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

We demonstrated the possibility to fabricate porous ceramics made of alumina and silicon carbide by means of 3D printing. For this investigation, two ceramic powder blends, VX-AlOx-Typ A and VX-SiC-Typ A, were used. Several specimens were printed, sintered and characterized. The specimens possess high porosity of up to 69 % for alumina and 55 % for silicon carbide. The compressive strength amounted to 6.8 MPa for the VX-AlOx-Typ A and to 19.65 MPa for the VX-SiC-Typ A specimens. The flexural strength amounts to 4.17 MPa and 9.74 MPa for the alumina and silicon carbide parts respectively. The thermal expansion coefficient for parts made of VX-AlOx-Typ A is 1.03x10-6 K-1 and for parts made of VX-SiC-Typ A it is 6.87x10-6 K-1.
