The SiC ceramic suspension containing about 50vol% solids loading and about 3wt% starch can be cast and molded into various complex-shape SiC ceramic parts in a water-thermostat. The dry shrinkage of the green body was less than 1.0% when the solid volume fraction of SiC suspension was up to 52.5%. The density and pore size were homogeneously distributed inside the biscuits. Soaked with melt silicon in a vacuum arc furnace, the biscuits were turn into SiC ceramic materials with homogeneous structure and high performances.展开更多
