  • Patent number: 11878944
    Abstract: A ceramic component containing silicon carbide and to the use of the component. The method for producing the ceramic component includes the following steps: a) providing a green body based on SiC, which has been produced by means of a 3D-printing method, b) impregnating the green body with a solution selected from the group consisting of a sugar solution, a starch solution or a cellulose solution, or a resin system comprising a mixture containing at least one resin, at least one solvent and at least one curing agent, the at least one resin and the at least one solvent being different, c) drying or curing the impregnated green body, d) carbonising the dried or cured green body, wherein a fine-pored, foam-like carbon skeleton is produced from the dried solution or a fine-pored, sponge-like carbon skeleton is produced from the cured resin system.

  • Patent number: 11795112
    Abstract: A method for producing the component, and to the use of the component. The method for producing a three-dimensional, ceramic component containing silicon carbide, by a) providing a powdery composition having a grain size (d50) between 3 microns and 500 microns and comprising at least 50 wt % of coke, b) providing a liquid binder, c) depositing a layer of the material provided in a) in a planar manner and locally depositing drops of the material provided in b) onto said layer and repeating step c), the local depositing of the drops in the subsequent repetitions of the step is adapted in accordance with the desired shape of the component to be produced, d) at least partially curing or drying the binder and obtaining a green body having the desired shape of the component, e) carbonising the green body, and f) siliconising the carbonised green body by infiltration with liquid silicon.

  • Patent number: 11505500
    Abstract: A ceramic component, wherein the component contains 20 to 60 wt. % SiC, 5 to 40 wt. % free silicon and 10 to 65 wt. % free carbon. The disclosure also relates to the use of the component. The method for producing the ceramic component includes the following steps: a) providing a green body based on carbon, which has been produced by means of a 3D-printing method, b) impregnating the green body with a solution selected from the group consisting of a sugar solution, a starch solution or a cellulose solution, or a resin system including a mixture containing at least one resin, at least one solvent and at least one curing agent, wherein the at least one resin and the at least one solvent are different, c) drying or curing the impregnated green body.
