    查看更多>>摘要:In this study,Cf/SiC composites with excellent mechanical and thermal properties were prepared by combining binder jetting(BJ)additive manufacturing with liquid silicon infiltration(LSI)process.The introduction of Cf into the Cf/SiC mixed powder reduced its spreading ability,which reduced the density,strength,and precision of the Cf/SiC green parts.However,phenolic resin infiltration and pyrolysis(PRIP)treatment compensated for the decrease in the density of the green parts resulting from the introduction of Cf.By optimizing the number of PRIP cycles to increase the pyrolytic carbon(PyC)content in the carbonized parts,the Cf in the green parts successfully prevented the reaction with molten Si in the LSI and played an important role in strengthening and toughening the composites.The flexural strength,fracture toughness,and thermal conductivity of the Cf/SiC composites reached the maximum values of 316±16 MPa,4.81±0.12 MPa·m1/2,and 140 W/m·K,respectively.This study presents future opportunities for the cost-effective and efficient industrial manufacturing of Cf/SiC complex structures.

    查看更多>>摘要:Gradient-doped laser ceramics fabricated via 3D printing have great potential for high-power laser applications.However,it is challenging to produce such types of gain media because it is inconvenient to fabricate different component slurries prepared offline using traditional methods precisely.To address these issues,a facile approach for the additive manufacturing of high-power laser ceramics is proposed for gradient structure fabrication.First,a material-extrusion-based 3D printing device with a homemade active mixing module is developed to fabricate gradient-doped Yb∶YAG(Y3Al5O12)laser ceramics using two slurries with different doping concentrations.Sub-sequently,the active mixing module is systematically investigated to obtain different Yb-doped concentrations of printing slurries with a uniform element distribution.By measuring the switching delay volume between dif-ferent components,a proper volume adjustment enables the Yb concentration distribution of the green bodies to be consistent with the designed profile in the 3D process.Finally,multi-component(0-5-10-5-0 at%Yb∶YAG)green bodies are printed,and experimental tests are conducted to evaluate the performance of these gradient-doped laser ceramics.The results show that the gradient-doped ceramic obtained 82.1%in-line transmittance at 1100 nm(4.6 mm thickness,along with the doping concentration gradient)and the average Yb ions diffusion distance across the interface fitted in the 20-30 pm range.Furthermore,a 1030 nm laser output with an output power of 4.5 W with a slope efficiency of 41.3%is achieved when pumped with a 940 nm laser diode.This study provides useful insights for developing various gradient rare-earth-doped laser ceramics for high-power laser applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:Bioactive coating of ceramic scaffolds is an effective way to ameliorate osseointegration and attenuate implant-induced inflammatory responses,which should be biocompatible and possess suitable mechani-cal properties to regulate cell adhesion and migration.In this study,a poly(ethylene glycol)diacry-late/tricalcium phosphate(PEGDA/TCP)ceramic scaffold was prepared using SLA-3D printing,and its com-pressive strength was 8.9±1.0 MPa.Chitosan(Chi)and chondroitin sulfate(CS)were assembled on the sur-face of the PEGDA/TCP scaffolds and crosslinked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide(EDC/NHS).Scanning electron microscope(SEM),Fourier transform infrared(FTIR),and laser scanning microscope were used to evaluate the surface modification of the PEGDA/TCP scaffolds.Cellu-lar tests showed that polyelectrolyte multilayers(PEMs)promoted cell adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts relative to unmodified scaffolds.Furthermore,it can be demonstrated that the SLA-3D printed TCP scaffolds could meet the compressive requirements of trabecular bones,and the bioactivity of the bone scaffolds could be effectively improved by combining them with Chi/CS PEM.

    查看更多>>摘要:Additive manufacturing(AM)is a widely applied manufacturing paradigm used for the layer-by-layer fabrica-tion of desired components and objects,especially for those with highly intricate geometry.Extrusion-based AM,which is a subcategory of AM processing technologies,is characterized by the facilitation of controlled and successive deposition of feedstock AM materials through the nozzles of printer heads onto a print bed.Extrusion-based AM processing enables design freedom but offers cost efficiency and process simplicity when compared to other AM categories i.e.liquid-and powder-based AM technologies.The extrusion-based AM process has become increasingly widespread over the last two decades because of the expanding material options that can be used in this technology,and its capacity to be hybridised through the addition of multiple printheads or incorpora-tion into a secondary manufacturing system.Despite the promising aspects of the extrusion-based AM process,increasing demands for customised extrusion-based printed products and an expanding range of extrusion-based AM materials create both material-and process-related challenges that limit the suitability of extrusion-based AM processes for some specific applications.Consequently,the principal objective of this review paper is to conduct a suitability analysis of extrusion-based AM processes.The suitability analysis follows a review and discussion about the extrusion-based AM process,and an assessment of easy-and hard-to-print extrusion-based AM mate-rials.This paper,therefore,provides a comprehensive suitability analysis of each extrusion-based AM process while also providing some promising ideas for improving their current suitability levels.The findings and ratings reported in this paper importantly offers viewpoints that would support better futuristic comparisons between developed and developing extrusion-based AM processes,especially as businesses look to adopt the right AM solutions.
