The invention discloses a method for preparing YAG (
yttrium aluminum garnet)-based transparent
ceramic by
direct writing. The method comprises the following steps: ball-milling and mixing an
organic solvent, a dispersing agent A, a
sintering aid and
ceramic powder,
drying, sieving with a 100-mesh
sieve, a 200-mesh
sieve and a 500-mesh
sieve, and calcining to obtain
raw material powder; the 500-mesh calcined
powder, a
polyelectrolyte dispersing agent and deionized water are subjected to ball milling and mixing, and
slurry B is obtained; the 100-mesh calcined powder, 3-8 wt% of PVP
aqueous solution and a dispersing agent B are subjected to ball-milling mixing, then the 200-mesh calcined powder is added, ball milling is continued, and
slurry C is obtained; the
slurry C and the slurry B are subjected to ball milling mixing according to the
mass ratio of 3.5-5.5; vacuum defoaming,
direct writing forming and glue discharging are carried out; and carrying out
vacuum sintering, annealing and
processing on the biscuit subjected to glue removal to obtain the YAG transparent
ceramic. The YAG-based ceramic biscuit prepared by the method does not need cold isostatic pressing and warm isostatic pressing, controllable preparation of a transparent ceramic material with a
composite structure and a complex shape is realized at the same time, the product preparation speed is high, the yield is high, and the application prospect is good.
