Abstract
The freeze drying-based additive manufacturing can be used to process porous ceramics. However, the lack of freezing direction leads to the disorderly porous structure. This paper proposes a frozen slurry-based laminated object manufacturing (FS-LOM) for processing porous ceramics. Slurry was composed of water, alumina powder, and organic binder. The water in the fresh slurry layer crystallized to obtain a good support strength. The outline of 2D pattern was cut with laser to gasify ice crystal and binder. After stacking, the ice crystal freeze dried to obtain a porous structure. The lamellar ice crystals were induced to growth vertically by layer-by-layer freezing. The uniformity and orientation of the pore structure were improved, and the compression strength of the parts were improved. Due to the support of frozen slurry, the deformation of the green part was avoided.
