Method for producing a ceramic component

Abstract

A method for producing a technical ceramic component. Said method notably comprises the following steps: i) arranging in a mould at least one composition of ceramic powder comprising at least one metal oxide; ii) carrying out an SPS sintering cycle in order to obtain a blank of the ceramic component with at least one grey shade on the surface of the component, and iii) machining the blank in order to obtain a predetermined-shaped blank Step iii) is followed by an additional step iv) of performing an oxidation operation on the predetermined-shaped blank in order to reveal at least one colour resulting from the oxidation of said at least one metal oxide, at least on the surface of a first part of the ceramic component the surface of a second part of the ceramic component assuming said at least one grey shade.
