| Abstract Scope |
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a hard covalently bonded material, which can be used as refractory applications for high-temperature applications. In this work, we develop an extrusion based 3D printing process to fabricate silicon carbide components. Silicon carbide powder is formulated into printable liquid slurry by mixing is with water and additives which improve binding and dispersion. The desired components are printed using a 3D printer with a pneumatic extrusion system, and then sintered in an oven to remove the additives used in the printing process. |
