Ceramic Binder Materials

Crystalline ceramic materials are not amenable to a great range of processing.

Ceramic binder materials. Ceramic 3d printing materials binders. High performance systems primary and backup binders ready to use slurries refractories core materials shell consumables slurry additives wax. It must leave a minimal amount of ash after firing. Other materials are added for specific formulations and applications.

There are a wide variety of binders used in traditional ceramics including natural products like cellulose or clays and synthetic products like polyacrylates or polyvinyl alcohol. In composite materials epoxy polyester or phenolic resins are common. Binder jetting has inherent advantages for additive manufacturing of ceramics including the print speed print size and material choices flexibility. This grade of ceramic fiber paper is virtually free of shot content and has a smooth surface on both exterior surfaces.

Remet supplies all the casting materials to create high quality ceramic shells able to be customized to meet a wide range of casting applications for the full spectrum of metal alloys. A colloidal silica aqueous solution which produces high adhesive strength. Used as a superior standalone system to rigidize refractory fiber shapes. The modern ceramic materials which are classified as advanced ceramics include silicon carbide and tungsten carbide.

Customer qualified materials alumina carbon natural sands synthetic sands silicon carbide tungsten carbide cobalt. Advanced ceramics are also used in the medicine electrical electronics industries and body armor. Pots and vases or to bind solid pieces e g. On a weigh basis nanoslic coatings are largely composed of silica.

The binding property of clay is also used widely to prepare shaped articles e g. A complete line of ceramic shell products. For the production of ceramic shells for the investment casting process a slurry is created from combining a liquid binder refractory flours and sands. In reinforced carbon carbon plastic or pitch resin is used as a source of carbon released through pyrolysis.

Nanoslic coatings use a primary binder polymer that is ceramic meaning its primarily composed of an inorganic material. A normal body binder must have several characteristics. Both are valued for their abrasion resistance and hence find use in applications such as the wear plates of crushing equipment in mining operations. Properties include low thermal conductivity flexibility and good handling strength.
