Ceramic Binder Materials

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.

Ceramic binder materials.

Nanoslic coatings use a primary binder polymer that is ceramic meaning its primarily composed of an inorganic material. The binding property of clay is also used widely to prepare shaped articles e g. An acidic colloidal alumina binder developed for mixing with sized refractory flours and grains to produce high temperature refractory coatings for ceramic fiber boards. A colloidal silica aqueous solution which produces high adhesive strength.

It must leave a minimal amount of ash after firing. In composite materials epoxy polyester or phenolic resins are common. Other materials are added for specific formulations and applications. Crystalline ceramic materials are not amenable to a great range of processing.

High performance systems primary and backup binders ready to use slurries refractories core materials shell consumables slurry additives wax. For the production of ceramic shells for the investment casting process a slurry is created from combining a liquid binder refractory flours and sands. The modern ceramic materials which are classified as advanced ceramics include silicon carbide and tungsten carbide. Ceramic fiber paper manufactured from polycrystalline fibers pcw rated to a temperature of 3000 1649 is now stocked.

Both are valued for their abrasion resistance and hence find use in applications such as the wear plates of crushing equipment in mining operations. Binder jetting has inherent advantages for additive manufacturing of ceramics including the print speed print size and material choices flexibility. On a weigh basis nanoslic coatings are largely composed of silica. Pots and vases or to bind solid pieces e g.

Binder jetting is continuing to grow and future machine enhancements for printing small particle size and sinterable ceramic powders will continue to create broader adoption. This grade of ceramic fiber paper is virtually free of shot content and has a smooth surface on both exterior surfaces. A complete line of ceramic shell products. A normal body binder must have several characteristics.

Properties include low thermal conductivity flexibility and good handling strength. Advanced ceramics are also used in the medicine electrical electronics industries and body armor. In reinforced carbon carbon plastic or pitch resin is used as a source of carbon released through pyrolysis. 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.
