The invention relates to an additive production method involving the production of a layer of geometrically compact particles, having the following steps: a) providing a particle layer depositing arrangement, comprising a first and a second semi-chamber, wherein a partition separates the first semi-chamber from the second semi-chamber, and the partition is permeable for a dispersion medium and impermeable for particles dispersed in the dispersion medium; b) providing a particle dispersion comprising the dispersion medium and particles dispersed therein in the first semi-chamber, the particle dispersion being distributed substantially homogenously in the first semi-chamber; c) generating a pressure gradient between the first and the second semi-chamber such that the pressure gradient in the first semi-chamber causes a particle dispersion flow directed towards the partition; and d) depositing a particle aggregate material comprising geometrically compact particles on the partition by transporting a dispersion agent into the second semi-chamber.

A method for manufacturing an insulator for a spark plug includes a molding process of forming a cylindrical molded product having an axial hole that extends in a direction of an axial line, by means of injection molding using a mold that has a columnar cavity therein and a bar-shaped member disposed in the cavity and extending in the direction of the axial line. In this method, the molding process includes an injection step of injecting a material containing a ceramic. In the injection step, the material is injected into the cavity from a plurality of injection openings that are opened at an inner circumferential surface, of the mold, that forms the cavity. The plurality of injection openings include two or more injection openings located at different positions in the direction of the axial line, or two or more injection openings located at different positions in a circumferential direction.

An alumina ceramic integrated hot press molding machine and working method thereof, including a pressing and hot pressing device fixed accordingly on a rack, a stirring device inside the hot pressing device, and a hot pressing mold above the hot pressing device; the pressing device enables one path of high-pressure air to act on the mold, and enables the other path to enter the hot pressing device, so the slurry flows into a cavity of the mold; the stirring device stirs the slurry inside the device, so alumina blanks are more evenly distributed therein; and temperature detection components for detecting the temperature of internal oil and the slurry at a slurry outlet are inside the hot pressing device, and the power of an electric heating device is adjusted and controlled in real time according to the temperature detected by the components, to achieve the purpose of accurate temperature control.

A part made of oxide/oxide composite material includes fiber reinforcement constituted by a plurality of warp yarn layers and of weft yarn layers interlinked by three-dimensional weaving, with the spaces present between the reinforcing yarns being filled with a refractory oxide matrix. The fiber reinforcement presents a weave selected from the following weaves: interlock; multi-plain; multi-satin; and multi-serge, with warp and weft thread counts lying in the range 4 yarns/cm to 20 yarns/cm. The fiber reinforcement also presents a fiber volume fraction lying in the range 40% to 51%.

A mould liner for a fabrication assembly is disclosed. The fabrication assembly is for fabricating an elongate concrete article in a substantially upright orientation and includes a core assembly and an outer mould assembly defining a mould cavity between the core assembly and an inner moulding surface of the outer mould assembly with the outer mould assembly being separable following casting of the elongate concrete article to strip the outer mould assembly from the elongate concrete article. The mould liner during casting forms an intermediate layer between the inner moulding surface of the outer mould assembly and the elongate concrete article being cast, wherein on stripping of the core and outer mould assemblies following casting, the mould liner is adapted to form an outer containment layer to the elongate concrete article.

The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a waffle slab with concrete surfaces that do not require polishing, the method comprising: providing steel molds connected to each other, and forming a space in the steel molds, wherein at least one of the steel molds has a hole; disposing a plurality of inner molds in the space formed by the steel molds; disposing predetermined steel bar cages between the plurality of inner molds, and between the plurality of inner molds and the steel molds; disposing a steel plate on top surfaces of the steel molds, wherein the steel plate comprises separate air holes; and pouring a Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) into the space from the hole of the at least one of the steel molds such that the SCC fills the space to form the waffle slab.

Disclosed is a method of forming a set cement shape. The method comprises providing a set-delayed cement composition comprising water, pumice, hydrated lime, and a set retarder; forming the set-delayed cement composition into a shape; and allowing the shaped set-delayed cement composition to set.

A reinforcing element and a method of forming the reinforcing element are generally described. The reinforcing element may be used in reinforcing a cementitious material and may comprise a settable material and a tension-resistant material that extends for a length of the element. To form the reinforcing element the settable material and tension-resistant material may be disposed together such that the settable and tension-resistant materials generally take the form of the reinforcing element. The settable material may then be cured.

The present invention relates to a self-pouring mold system which ensures uniformity of a material by laterally pouring concrete into a mold installed on a side of a wall structure and minimizing a fall head generated when the concrete is poured to prevent bleeding, thereby ensuring uniformity of a fire-proofing material and adjusting a required fire-proofing coating thickness, and a method of fire-proofing, repairing, and reinforcing using the same.
