By controlling the injection pressure and injection temperature, the fluidity and filling capacity of the preform in the mold are controlled, so as to obtain a ceramic ice knife with the required shape and size.
[0008] Step 4: Firing. After the ice blades are injected and removed from the mold, they are fired in the furnace.
