Introducing Slipcasting To Advanced Ceramics Production
As with most people, our interaction with ceramics is limited to any experience we’ve had with pottery — be it a studio class or the coffee cup sitting on your desk. However, ceramics are used in multiple industries such as structural, refractory (heating), and technical (machines) and their compositions vary depending on their use.
Originally Designed By NASA
Advanced ceramics are a part of the technical industry. Produced from highly refined powders, the majority are man-made using extreme temperatures and carefully combined chemicals. They are very strong and can endure great stresses like extreme temperatures, sharp objects, and harsh chemicals. However, due to the importance placed on products made of advanced ceramic technology, the production of said products can take a significant amount of time.
Improving Technique and Formula for Faster Results
Thankfully, the team at Scientific Ceramic Engineering (SCE) has developed a new ceramic slurry formula as well as a rapid precision molding technique. The new formula permits room-temperature molding and the improved ceramic binder replaces toxic additives. In addition, the process minimizes infrastructure cost, shortens the cored casting process by 66% which allows the delivery of parts up to 36 weeks sooner, enabling your company a faster, more cost-effective approach to producing advanced ceramic pieces.
