Development of Foam Ceramics Manufacturing Technology

Joining Ceramics to Metals using Metallic Foam

A general method for brazing ceramics to metals using a compliant metallic foam as a buffer layer has been developed. Using stainless steel foams, bonds between alumina and 316 stainless steel with shear strengths up to 33 MPa have been achieved. The resultant ductility enhances the resistance of the joint to thermal cycling; AlN-Inconel 600 bonds exhibited good thermal shock resistance. Alumin...

An Overview of Lost Foam Casting Technology Development in China

China has had an unprecedented economic boom within the foundry industry in the past two decades. Lost foam casting technology has gained increasing popularity during this time. In China, about two hundred foundries have lost foam casting operations with total annual casting production of approximately 300,000 tons in 2006. This paper reviews the current lost foam casting industry in China with...

Exploitation-oriented Manufacturing Technology Development ¬リニ

In consideration of the fact that production technologies are resources that can be exploited across various industrial sectors, their current and prospective technological properties are likely to face requirements from different target industries. Because these requirements can diverge extremely between industries, a methodology will be proposed that enables to assess the compatibility of div...
