Abstract
The present disclosure is related to methods of manufacturing a 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.
Claims6
A method for the manufacturing of a hierarchical composite wear component, the hierarchical composite wear component comprising a reinforced part comprising a reinforcement of a triply periodic minimal surface ceramic lattice structure, the structure comprising multiple cell units, and the 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, and wherein the ceramic lattice structure is embedded in a bi-continuous structure having a cast metal matrix, the method comprising:
- additive manufacturing the ceramic lattice structure of a triple periodic minimal surface geometry via a powder mix comprising ceramic particles;
- at least partially sintering the ceramic lattice structure;
- positioning the ceramic lattice structure in a mold;
- and
- casting a ferroalloy to obtain the reinforced hierarchical composite wear component.
