Hot Pressing (HP) Sintering Process for Ceramic Materials Applications

Hot pressing(HP) sintering process is the most commonly used technique for fabricating dense, non-oxide monolithic ceramics and their composites.

 

During hot pressing sintering, temperature and pressure are simultaneously applied to the powder compact contained in a die. Under the application of pressure, the contact points between particles develop a very high stress, increasing the local diffusion rates.

 

Hot pressing(HP) sintering workshop

 

As for all forms of densification, the particle size, temperature, pressure, heating rate and holding time all influence the density and micro-structure of the hot pressed compacts whilst a controlled atmosphere is required for the Non-oxides. Carbides, borides and silicides are often hot pressed under vacuum or an inert gas such as argon whilst the nitrides are generally densified under a nitrogen atmosphere.

 

What are the benefits of hot pressing sintering?
Hot pressing sintering is a manufacturing process that uses heat and pressure to create strong, durable parts. The process has several benefits, including:

 

· High strength and durability
Hot pressed parts are typically much stronger and more durable than parts sintered using traditional methods. This is because the high temperature and pressure of the hot pressing process cause the particles in the powder to sinter more completely, resulting in a denser material with fewer defects.

 

· Precise dimensional control
Hot pressing sintering can create parts with exact dimensional tolerances. This is because the pressure of the hot pressing process helps to force the particles in the powder to close together, resulting in a more uniform and consistent shape.

 

· Reduced manufacturing costs
Hot pressing sintering can be a more cost-effective manufacturing process than traditional methods, such as machining or casting. This is because hot pressing sintering can create parts with complex shapes and features that would be difficult or expensive to machine or cast.

 

· Improved surface finish
Hot pressing sintering can produce parts with a much improved surface finish than traditional sintering methods. This is because the high temperature and pressure of the hot pressing process help to close up any pores or voids in the material, resulting in a smoother and more uniform surface.

 

· Reduced sintering time
Hot pressing sintering can reduce the sintering time required for some materials. This is because the hot pressing process’s high temperature and pressure help accelerate the sintering process, resulting in shorter manufacturing cycles.

 

· Improved mechanical properties
Hot pressing sintering can improve the mechanical properties of some materials. This is because the hot pressing process’s high temperature and pressure help strengthen the material, resulting in parts with improved tensile strength, compressive strength, and fatigue resistance.

The Difference Between Electric Heating Wire And Ceramic Heater

Alumina ceramic heater is a kind of high efficiency heat division uniform heater, excellent thermal conductivity of metal alloy, to ensure that the hot surface temperature uniform, eliminate the hot and cold points of the equipment. Alumina ceramic heater is divided into two kinds, respectively PTC ceramic heating body and MCH ceramic heating body. The materials used in these two products are completely different, but the finished products are similar to ceramics, so they are collectively referred to as “ceramic heating elements”.

 

Electric Heating Wire

 

Due to the increasingly high operating temperature requirements in modern industry, ceramic heaters can adapt to, especially chemical fiber, engineering plastics, plastic machinery, electronics, medicine, food and various pipeline heating; Ceramic heating element in which a meta tungsten or molybdenum manganese paste is printed on a ceramic casting body and laminated by hot pressing and then co-fired at 1600°C, in a hydrogen atmosphere to co-sinter ceramic and metal. Form effective high temperature, high power density, strip heater, and flexible design for easy installation.

 

Electric heating wire is the most common heating element, its role is to heat up after the power is turned into heat energy. The application range of electric heating wire is very wide, and a variety of common electric heating equipment will use electric heating wire as a heating element, so the electric heating wire is used in medical, chemical, electronics, electrical appliances, metallurgical machinery, ceramic glass processing and other industries.

 

Electric Heating Wire

 

Take the fan heater as example, the heating body with electric heating wire is more seen on the market, Its heating body is an electric heating wire, and the heat generated by the electric heating wire is blown out by a fan.

 

The main differences of them are as below:

1. Different materials
Ceramic heating uses PTC heating body, and electric heating wire heating is the heat generated by the heating wire inside the heating core to conduct heat to the metal tube.

 

2.Different insulation performance
Ceramic heating is not conductive, surface safety is not charged, good insulation performance; The electric heating wire heating is easy to leak because the metal is conductive.

 

MCH ceramic heater

 

3.Different properties
The biggest advantage of electric heating wire heating is that the hardness is greater than that of ceramic heating core, and it is not easy to break. The disadvantage is that the metal heating core will be oxidized at high temperature, and the efficiency of heat conduction after oxidation is much worse than that before oxidation.

 

The biggest feature of the ceramic heating core is that the thermal conductivity is good, and there will be no oxidation at high temperature, no matter how long it takes, the efficiency of its thermal conductivity will not have any reduction, and the disadvantage is that the robustness is relatively less than the metal heating core.

 

Below chart is for better understanding:

Electric Heating Wire Ceramic Heater
Fast heating speed Long life
Accurate temperature control High safety
Low cost Uniform temperature
Short life Lower heating speed
Security risks Poor temperature control
Manufacturing cost is high

According to the different demand, choose different heater material, if you need fast and accurate temperature control, use electric heating wire , if you pay more attention to safety and life ,use ceramic heater.

Introduction to ceramic sealing process

Sealing refers to the physical or chemical connection of two or more materials. Joining technology is one of the key technologies in glass and ceramic manufacturing, which can improve the product’s sealing, thermal resistance, and stability, thereby improving its reliability and service life.

 

The connection methods between ceramics and metals include mechanical connection, adhesive connection, brazing connection, solid-phase diffusion connection, instant liquid phase connection, melting welding, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis connection, friction welding, microwave connection, and ultrasonic connection, etc.

 

According to the connection method, it can be divided into mechanical sealing and welding sealing. Mechanical sealing mainly realizes through fasteners, sealing rings, etc., while welding sealing realizes through melting connection.

 

Ceramic to metal

 

According to the material type, it can be divided into glass sealing and ceramic-to-metal sealing. Glass sealing is mainly used for connecting glass and glass, glass and metal, etc., while ceramic sealing is mainly used for connecting ceramic and ceramic, ceramic and metal, etc.

 

According to the use environment, it can be divided into vacuum sealing, high-temperature sealing, and low-temperature sealing. Vacuum sealing is mainly used for manufacturing vacuum containers and sensors, high-temperature sealing is mainly used for manufacturing high-temperature furnaces and heaters, and low-temperature sealing is mainly used for manufacturing low-temperature containers and refrigeration equipment.

 

In this article, we will focus on the brazing process
Brazing involves placing a metal (called the brazing filler or flux) with a lower melting point than the parent material (the material being brazed) between the parent materials; heating the assembly to a temperature below the melting point of the parent materials but above the melting point of the brazing filler, allowing the brazing filler to melt; allowing the molten brazing filler to wet, spread, and fill the voids between the parent materials; and allowing the parent materials to dissolve and diffuse into each other through the molten brazing filler. Upon cooling, a connection is formed between the parent materials with the brazing filler serving as an intermediate layer.

 

metal brazing

 

Advantages:
1)In the process of brazing, the weldment does not melt, and the size, structure and physicochemical properties of the weldment are stable
2)The welded joint has good air tightness and strength;
3) If the welded joint is bad, it can be re-welded;
4) Multiple welds can be welded at once.

 

Brazing also includes the following types
Metallized Ceramics
First, the ceramic surface is metallized, and then the conventional filler metal is brazed together, so it is also called two-step brazing. The purpose of ceramic surface and metallization is to solve the problem of poor wettability of the filler metal on the ceramic surface. The Mo-Mn method is commonly used in the electronics industry to premetallize the ceramic surface. The appropriate amount of Mn is added to the Mo powder to improve the combination of the metal coating and the ceramic. In addition, a series of metallization methods such as physical or chemical vapor deposition, thermal spraying, sintered metal powder method, ultrasonic method, chemical deposition, plasma injection and vacuum evaporation have been developed.

 

Ceramic metallization brazing

 

Active metal brazing
The wettability of the filler metal on the ceramic surface is improved by forming an active metal film on the ceramic surface, adding active elements to the filler metal and forming a reaction layer on the ceramic surface through chemical reaction. These active elements usually include Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Ta, Nb, Cr and so on.

Boron nitride nozzles- a solution to solve technical problems from atomization to 3D printing and molten metals

Powder metallurgy has core process advantages such as high material utilization, low unit energy consumption, and environmental protection. It is a technology that is in line with the future direction of carbon neutrality.

 

In recent years, with the maturity of powder metallurgy technology and the trend of miniaturization of parts, two emerging process routes, metal injection molding (MIM) and 3D printing (AM), have rapidly emerged.

 

At the same time, the supply of high-quality powder raw materials has begun to become a major factor restricting the development of the industry.

 

Small and complex parts are undoubtedly more suitable for injection molding and 3D printing (particle size of 20μm or even smaller), and have been increasingly used in high-end fields such as aerospace, medical, electronics, and military industry.

 

Therefore, the preparation of metal powders with high purity, good sphericity, small particle size and narrow distribution, and low oxygen content has become a new focus in the industry. These parameters have a crucial impact on the quality of metal products.

 

Boron nitride atomization nozzles

 

1.Atomization powder making and nozzle

The water atomization, gas atomization, oil atomization, gas-water linkage atomization, and plasma atomization were developed and replaced the carbonyl method to become the mainstream.

 

The key component of atomization powder making is the nozzles, largely determines the atomization rate (fine powder yield), and then also determines the production efficiency and powder quality.

 

The industry continues to explore improvements to nozzles, such as changing the gas, melt, and liquid flow field through design, improving the gas-liquid ratio, and controlling the oxygen content.

 

The nozzles faces harsh working conditions such as erosion, wear, high temperature, and severe thermal shock. Its material determines the process stability and component life.

 

High-purity boron nitride ceramics have excellent high-temperature resistance, while composite boron nitride ceramics slightly sacrifice high-temperature resistance in exchange for improved capabilities in different directions such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and thermal shock resistance.

 

Composite boron nitride ceramic nozzles can minimize clogging and metal creep, thereby reducing the frequency of nozzle replacement. Due to the low friction coefficient of boron nitride (BN), the smooth surface finish and tighter tolerances provide predictable particle size distribution between batches. In addition, the extremely strong thermal shock resistance allows boron nitride nozzles to be used without a lot of preheating.

 

2.3D printing and nozzles

The biggest difference between 3D printing and injection molding is that 3D printing does not require molds, which is more conducive to personalized and diversified production. Since there is no constraint and auxiliary role of the mold, its production process naturally depends more on the performance of the printing equipment and powder raw materials.

 

The nozzle is a key component that determines the quality of the finished product. Only by selecting the nozzle according to the needs can you get a satisfactory result – the easiest way to understand is that if you pursue speed, you have to give up precision and choose a large nozzle, and if you pursue precision, you have to give up speed and choose a small nozzle.

 

As metal 3D printing technology develops, the benefits that boron nitride brings to metal atomization are becoming more and more relevant to these new 3D printing technologies.

 

For example, some 3D printing manufacturers are currently looking for ways to deal with molten metal at high temperatures – high temperatures will cause huge thermal stresses on mechanical parts, thus bringing new challenges in printer design; in addition, there are requirements such as non-adhesion and non-wetting of molten metal liquid…

 

Boron nitride ceramics’ high thermal shock resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient enable it to withstand high thermal gradients, and its high thermal conductivity helps the rapid solidification of metal after deposition.
