The invention relates to the technical field of
ceramic additive manufacturing and high-temperature
sintering tools, in particular to a design method of a
sintering clamp for photocuring a large-size special-shaped
ceramic component. Aiming at the problems of free opening edge
curling, thin-wall collapse, cracks, overall warping and the like which are easy to occur during
sintering of a photocuring
ceramic green body, the method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring three-dimensional geometric information of a component and partitioning, and identifying an
instability mode and a sensitive area; and then a boundary strategy of shape limitation without shrinkage limitation, controlled sliding, partition supporting and intersection area receding is constructed, structural design and
material selection of the supporting ring, the inner supporting core, the burning bearing base, the low-friction
isolation layer and the positioning groove are completed, and
assembly and use specifications are formed. The sintering bearing clamp obtained by the method can inhibit out-of-plane
instability while allowing the component to shrink, reduce shrinkage retardation stress, and improve the sintering
formability stability, size consistency and finished product yield of the component. The
ice cream barrel-shaped
silicon nitride ceramic piece is taken as an embodiment, so that the sintering defect risk can be obviously reduced, and the
engineering popularization value is good.
