This application provides a 5D ceramic housing structure and a 5D ceramic processing process method, to resolve a problem that long processing time of existing CNC and polishing results in high production costs of a housing of an electronic device and low production efficiency. The method includes: obtaining a raw ceramic material, that is, a ceramic powder; performing casting processing on the raw ceramic material to obtain a to-be-sintered green-state ceramic sheet; performing flat ceramic sheet pre-sintering on the green-state ceramic sheet to obtain a sintered product with a shrinkage rate of 18% to 23%; performing 5D heat-bend forming on the sintered product, to enable the sintered product to be further crystallized and deformed by heating to form a ceramic housing; performing fiber adhesion on the ceramic housing; and forming a 5D ceramic housing structure.

In a process for manufacturing molded ceramic composite materials, a preform of a ceramic composite material is provided in which ceramic particles having a platelet configuration are formed within a ceramic matrix. The preform is thermoformed within a mold by heating to a temperature greater than a melting or softening temperature of the ceramic matrix and applying a load to deform the preform to form the molded ceramic composite material in a desired configuration. The process is used to fabricate precisely molded ceramic composite materials and devices containing them. The materials and devices can be used for thermal management, such as for electronic components and other heat generating structures.

A ceramic product includes a transparent ceramic panel having a non-planar geometry including a bend having a slippage plane, an increased haze, a non-uniform thickness, or a combination thereof. A method includes providing a transparent ceramic panel, heating the panel, bending the panel to conform to a non-planar geometry.

A method comprising: a) determining the bow (28) in the extension direction of one or more linear paths on an outer surface or outer surfaces (11,13,14,16) of an extruded ceramic part (10) so that maximum extrusion direction bow (28) of the one of more linear paths or outer surfaces (11,13,14,16) may be determined of the extruded ceramic greenware part (10); b) identifying the linear path on the outer surface or the outer surfaces (11,13,14,16) having maximum convex bow; c) placing the greenware part (10) on a carrier with the linear path on the outer surface or the outer surface location having the maximum convex shape in contact with the carrier; and d) processing the greenware part (10) while disposed on the carrier with the linear path on the outer surface or the surface having the convex shape on the carrier, such that the bow (28) is reduced as a result of the process.

Systems for and methods for improving mechanical properties of ceramic material are provided. The system comprises a heat source for heating the ceramic material to a temperature greater than a brittle-to-ductile transition temperature of the ceramic material; a probe for mounting the ceramic material and configured to extend the ceramic material into the heat source; a plasma-confining medium and a sacrificial layer disposed between the ceramic material and the plasma-confining medium; and an energy pulse generator such as a laser pulse generator. The sacrificial layer is utilized to form plasma between the ceramic material and the plasma-confining medium. The method comprises heating ceramic material to a temperature greater than a brittle-to-ductile transition temperature of the ceramic material and subjecting the ceramic material to energy pulses via a sacrificial layer and a plasma-confining medium whereby a plasma of the sacrificial coating forms between the ceramic material and a plasma-confining medium.

A method for increasing the room temperature ductility of an object made of a ceramic material is disclosed. The method includes providing an object made of a ceramic material, heating the object made of the ceramic material to a temperature to or above the brittle to ductile transition temperature of the ceramic material, introducing defects into the microstructure of the object by deforming the object at the temperature, and cooling the object to room temperature, resulting in room-temperature ductility higher than the room-temperature ductility of the object prior to the heating and deforming steps. A ceramic material subjected to the above-described method of achieving room-temperature ductility is also disclosed. An object made of ceramic material subjected to the above-described method of achieving room-temperature ductility is also disclosed.
