What is Metallization of Ceramic Structural Parts?
Metallization of ceramic structural parts refers to the creation of thin metal layers (films) on the surface of ceramic structural parts.
Ceramic surface metallization combines the good mechanical properties of ceramics and the excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of metal materials.
It not only has the excellent properties of high strength, high wear resistance, high temperature resistance and small thermal expansion coefficient of ceramic materials, but also has the plasticity and toughness properties of metal materials.
Our product production is mainly divided into 3 steps, forming – finishing – metallization. The production flow chart is shown below.
About Forming Method
There are mainly Dry Pressing, Hot Pressing, Isostatic Pressing, and Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM), each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. We will choose the most suitable forming method on the basis of saving costs and ensuring quality.
About Finishing Process
In order to achieve the precision of the product, most ceramic structural parts need further finishing treatment after the sintering process. The main finishing processes we use are machining (lapping, polishing…) and glazing.
About Metallization Process
After the surface of the ceramic material is metallized, it has both the characteristics of ceramics and the properties of metal.
Introduction to Silver Firing Method
There are many methods for surface metallization of ceramic structural parts, and here we will focus on the silver firing method. The brief process of silver firing method is shown in the picture below.
The sintering mechanism of silver firing method is:
1. Reducing silver-containing raw materials into silver particles.
2. Melting the solvent into a melt.
3. The melt bonds the silver particles together to form a silver layer.
4. The silver layer is fixed on the ceramic surface.
The fired silver layer is firmly bonded, the thermal expansion coefficient is close to that of the ceramic, and the thermal stability is good. In addition, the firing temperature is low, and the requirements on the atmosphere are not strict, and the firing process is simple and easy.
