A ceramic heating member for an aerosol-generating system, the ceramic heating member comprising:
- a heating portion configured to vaporise a liquid aerosol-forming substrate;
- and
- a porous portion configured to convey the liquid aerosol-forming substrate to the heating portion,
- wherein the heating portion and the porous portion are integrally formed.
A method of manufacturing a ceramic heating member for an aerosol-generating system, the method comprising:
- forming a porous ceramic body for conveying a liquid aerosol-forming substrate;
- and
- doping a portion of the porous ceramic body to form a heating portion for vaporising the liquid aerosol-generating substrate.
A method of manufacturing a ceramic heating member for an aerosol-generating system, the method comprising:
- placing a layer of a first ceramic material in a mold;
- placing a layer of a second ceramic material in the mold;
- and
- molding the layer of first ceramic material and the layer of second ceramic material in the mold to form a ceramic heating member comprising a heating portion formed from the layer of first ceramic material and a porous portion formed from the layer of second ceramic material.
