A method of manufacturing a shaped abrasive particle is disclosed. The method includes filling a cavity of a tool with an abrasive particle precursor material. The cavity has at least an interior surface that extends downward from a tool top surface at an angle. The method also includes leveling the abrasive particle precursor material such that a top surface of the abrasive particle precursor materials is flush with the tool surface, such that a sharp portion is formed along the intersection between the sloped wall of the tool cavity and the tool surface and the sharp portion is within the same plane as the tool surface. The method also includes removing a dried abrasive particle precursor from the cavity of the tool. The abrasive particle has a sharp portion formed along the intersection between the interior surface and the tool surface.

A method for forming a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component with an internal cooling channel includes partially densifying a first fiber preform to form a portion of a final ceramic matrix volume, machining a first channel into a surface of the partially densified first fiber preform, covering the first channel with a fibrous member to form a near net shape fiber preform with an internal passage formed by the first channel and the fibrous member, and densifying the near net shape fiber preform.

A bonded abrasive article includes elongate shaped abrasive particles. The elongate shaped abrasive particles comprise an elongate shaped ceramic body having opposed first and second ends joined to each other by at least two longitudinal sidewalls. At least one of the at least two longitudinal sidewalls is concave along its length. At least one of the first and second ends is a fractured surface.

A vermiculite core for a vehicle may include vermiculite and pearlstone, an aluminum component for the vehicle may be manufactured using the vermiculite core including the vermiculite and the pearlstone, and a method for manufacturing the vermiculite core for the vehicle may include mixing the vermiculite and the pearlstone, injecting a mixture of the vermiculite and the pearlstone into a mold, and pressing the mixture using a presser.

Disclosed are a ferrite green sheet comprising a pattern formed in a top surface of the ferrite green sheet, a sintered ferrite sheet, a ferrite composite sheet comprising the same, and a conductive loop antenna module. The pattern comprises a plurality of grooves, each groove has a width W and a rounded shape bottom having a radius of curvature of R, wherein a ratio of W to R (W:R) is in the range of 1:0.1 to 1:0.5.

A sintered body includes a ceramic substrate including sintered oxide particles, a through-hole formed in the ceramic substrate such that the side surfaces of the oxide particles exposed from an inner wall of the through-hole form a flat surface, and a porous body disposed in the through-hole, the porous body including spherical oxide ceramic particles and a mixed oxide configured to bind the spherical oxide ceramic particles.

The present invention provides a zirconia sintered body that has less excess material to be removed when making a prosthesis by milling, providing a reduction of work time, more durability for a working tool, and a faster treatment for patients, and that undergoes little deformation during firing, and provides enhanced aesthetics. The present invention relates to a columnar zirconia sintered body having a base and a side face, the base having a surface shape that is neither square nor rectangular but has at least one straight portion.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a colored blank, which contains zirconium dioxide and is intended for the manufacture of a dental restoration, whereby raw materials in powder form, at least some of which contain one coloring substance each, are mixed with, zirconium dioxide as the main ingredient, the resulting mixture is pressed and subsequently subjected to at least one thermal treatment. To generate the desired fluorescence, it is intended that in the raw materials in powder form one uses as coloring substances at least terbium, erbium, cobalt, as well as one substance that generates a fluorescence effect in the dental restoration, however not iron, aside from naturally occurring impurities.

An assembly for densification under load along at least one direction of compression. The assembly includes: at least one volume to be densified having a powdery and/or porous composition and having variations in thickness along the direction of compression; and at least one counter-form of a powdery and/or porous composition, having at least one face facing at least one portion of the volume. The face and each of the portions are separated by at least one deformable interface layer.

An elongate shaped abrasive particle comprises an elongate shaped ceramic body having opposed first and second ends joined to each other by at least two longitudinal sidewalls.
