Abstract
The present invention is a sintering method of a ceramic for sintering characterized by forming a layer containing a carbon powder on a surface of an article consisting of a ceramic for sintering, and then irradiating with laser a surface of the carbon powder-containing layer of a lamination obtained.
Claims14
A method for sintering a ceramic, the method comprising:
- forming a layer comprising a carbon powder on a surface of a ceramic article consisting of a non-sintered ceramic to thereby prepare a carbon powder-containing laminated layer, and
- irradiating with a laser a surface of the carbon powder-containing laminated layer to sinter the non-sintered ceramic located under an irradiated area of the carbon powder-containing laminated layer,
- wherein the carbon powder in the carbon powder-containing laminated layer at an irradiated part is removed after irradiating, and
- wherein the carbon powder is of graphite, and a thickness of the carbon powder-containing laminated layer is in a range from 100 nm to 10 μm.
A method for producing a ceramic article having a sintered ceramic part, the method comprising:
- forming a layer comprising a carbon powder on a surface of a non-sintered ceramic part comprising a non-sintered ceramic to thereby prepare a carbon powder-containing laminated layer over the non-sintered ceramic part, and
- irradiating with a laser a surface of the carbon powder-containing laminated layer to sinter a non-sintered ceramic containing part that is located under an irradiated part of the carbon-powder containing laminated layer to thereby form the ceramic article having the sintered ceramic part,
- wherein the carbon powder in the carbon powder-containing laminated layer at an irradiated part is removed after irradiating, and
- wherein the carbon powder is of graphite, and a thickness of the carbon powder-containing laminated layer is in a range from 100 nm to 10 μm.
A method for producing a ceramic article having a three-dimensional sintered ceramic part, the method comprising:
- preparing a first non-sintered ceramic part comprising a non-sintered ceramic,
- forming a layer comprising a carbon powder on a surface of the first non-sintered ceramic part to thereby prepare a first carbon powder-containing laminated layer over the first non-sintered ceramic part,
- irradiating with a laser a surface of the first carbon powder-containing laminated layer to sinter the non-sintered ceramic of the first non-sintered ceramic part located under an irradiated part to form a first sintered part,
- forming a second non-sintered ceramic part comprising a non-sintered ceramic on the first sintered part,
- forming a layer comprising a carbon powder on a surface of the second non-sintered ceramic part to thereby prepare a second carbon powder-containing laminated layer over the second non-sintered ceramic part, and
- irradiating with a laser a surface of the second carbon powder-containing laminated layer to sinter the non-sintered ceramic of the second non-sintered ceramic part located under an irradiated part to thereby form a second sintered ceramic part that is integrated with the first sintered ceramic part,
- wherein the carbon powder in the first carbon powder-containing laminated layer or the second carbon powder-containing laminated layer at an irradiated part is removed after irradiating, and
- wherein the carbon powder is of graphite, and a thickness of the first carbon powder-containing laminated layer or the second carbon powder-containing laminated layer is in a range from 100 nm to 10 μm.
