A manufacturing method is disclosed herein. The method includes arranging a preform with a plurality of clamping assemblies, the plurality of clamping assemblies disposed along ends of the preform; and forming the preform into a shaped body, the forming including: incrementally tensioning the preform around a surface of an inner mold line using the plurality of clamping assemblies; and drawing the preform into a set of forming beads of the inner mold line.

The present disclosure relates to a method of making a powder of dense and spherically shaped cemented carbide or cermet granules. The present disclosure also relates to a powder produced by the method and use of said powder in additive manufacturing such as 3D printing by the binder jetting technique. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) process for manufacturing a product by using said powder.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a ceramic molding, comprising the following steps: a) providing three or more ceramic powder layers that are arranged in layers, one on top of the other, to form a compression-molded element and sintering the compression-molded element obtained in step b) to form a ceramic molding, characterized in that the ceramic powder layers have different compositions, each ceramic powder layer comprising a mixture of at least two different base powders and each base powder containing at least 80 wt. % ZrO.sub.2 and at least 0.02 wt. % Al.sub.2O.sub.3, each weight amount being relative to the total weight of the constituents of the base powder.

The invention relates to a sintered molding with a color gradient for use in the manufacture of dental restorations, obtainable by sintering a compression-molded element comprising five or more different ceramic powder layers, each powder layer comprising at least two different base powders and each base powder containing at least 80 wt. % ZrO.sub.2, each weight amount being relative to the total weight of the base powder.

The disclosure relates to methods of fabricating of ceramic structures, and more particularly to methods of fabricating ceramic structures having profiled surfaces and more particularly to methods of fabrication of ceramic mirror blanks. In one embodiment, a method of forming a shaped ceramic article, includes: forming, via one of a cold-pressing process or pressure casting process, a green ceramic article comprising a first surface, an opposing second surface and at least one high aspect ratio feature shaped into at least one surface; heating the green featured ceramic part to form a debound featured ceramic part; and densifying the debound featured ceramic part via one of a pressureless sintering process or a hot-pressing process.

A manufacturing method of a low heat-conducting magnesium-aluminium spinel brick includes: (1) evenly mixing sintered magnesia, fused magnesia, magnesium-aluminium spinel and corundum to prepare flame retardant coating raw material mixed powder, adding naphthalene binder to the flame retardant coating raw material mixed powder to prepare the flame retardant coating raw materials after evenly mixing; (2) evenly mixing forsterite, fayalite and magnesia, adding the naphthalene binder to the mixed powder, moulding, drying, and then burning to obtain aggregate composite hortonolite raw materials; adding the naphthalene binder to the aggregate composite hortonolite having granularity ≤5 mm to prepare the thermal insulating layer raw materials after evenly mixing; (3) spacing and loading the flame retardant coating raw materials and the thermal insulating layer raw materials in a mold, pressing into green bricks, keeping the green bricks at a temperature of 110° C. for 24 hours, drying, and burning into magnesium-aluminium spinel bricks.

Embodiments described in this application relate generally to a system, an apparatus and/or methods for manufacturing electrodes by infusion electrolyte into compacted electrode materials. In some embodiments, a working electrode materials can be produced using an infusion mixing and manufacturing process. In some embodiments, a single-sided finished electrode can be produced directly from a dry powder mixture using an infusion mixing and manufacturing process. In some embodiments, a double-sided finished electrode can be produced directly from a dry powder mixture using an infusion mixing and manufacturing process. The electrodes produced by an infusion mixing and manufacturing process generally perform better than those produced by non-infusion processes.

A tool holder has a base element, a deformable receiver for clamping a tool and at least one locking element configured for preventing an axial extraction of the tool from the tool holder through engaging a corresponding opposite element at the tool. The at least one locking element is integrally configured in one piece with the receiver.

The appearance of natural rock faces are formed on planar panels or part portions thereof that disposed horizontally by stamping or texturizing a cementitious mixture of veneer material and then selectively applying colorant matter, which may include combinations of stains and mineral.
