Abstract
System, apparatuses, and methods for manufacturing ceramic composite using spark plasma sintering are provided. In many embodiments, raw materials are mixed and placed into a spark plasma sintering machine and heated to a target temperature by conducting electricity through a mold. Pressure is applied to the materials during the process to create a densified part. Subsequently, the densified part can be removed from the spark plasma sintering machine.
Claims14
A method for manufacturing a ceramic composite, the method comprising:
- (a) measuring a plurality of raw materials to a predetermined ratio according to a target density and a target volume, and mixing the plurality of raw materials in a mixer;
- (b) loading the mixed plurality of raw materials into a tooling;
- (c) loading the tooling into a spark plasma sintering machine and heating the spark plasma sintering machine to a target temperature by conducting electricity through a mold;
- (d) removing and demolding a densified part formed from the mixed plurality of raw materials;
- and
- (e) machining the densified part according to a plurality of final dimensions.
