Abstract
The present invention is related to hierarchical composite wear component comprising a reinforced part, said reinforced part comprising a reinforcement of a triply periodic minimal surface ceramic lattice structure, said structure comprising multiple cell units, said cell units comprising voids and micro-porous ceramic cell walls, the micro-pores of the cell walls comprising a sinter metal or a cast metal, the ceramic lattice structure being embedded in a bi-continuous structure with a cast metal matrix.
Claims19
A hierarchical composite wear component, comprising:
- a reinforced part comprising a reinforcement of a triply periodic minimal surface ceramic lattice structure, said structure comprising multiple cell units, wherein the triply periodic minimal surface has a continuous curvature both within each cell unit of the multiple cell units and at junctions between two cell units of the multiple cell units, and said cell units comprising voids and micro-porous ceramic cell walls;
- wherein micro-pores of the cell walls comprise a sintered metal or a cast metal;
- wherein the ceramic lattice structure is embedded in a bi-continuous structure having a cast metal matrix;
- and
- wherein a concentration of the ceramic material in the lattice structure ranges from 30 to 90 vol %.
A hierarchical composite wear component, comprising:
- a reinforced part comprising a reinforcement of a triply periodic minimal surface ceramic lattice structure, said structure comprising multiple cell units, wherein the triply periodic minimal surface lattice structure is selected from the group consisting of lidinoid, neovius, P-surface, diamond (D-surface), and I-WP, wherein the triply periodic minimal surface has a continuous curvature both within each cell unit of the multiple cell units and at junctions between two cell units of the multiple cell units, and said cell units comprising voids and micro-porous ceramic cell walls;
- wherein micro-pores of the cell walls comprise a sintered metal or a cast metal;
- wherein the ceramic lattice structure is embedded in a bi-continuous structure having a cast metal matrix.
