Abstract
Zirconia ceramics are renowned for their exceptional thermal stability, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, making them a key material in the fields of aerospace and military defense. This study utilized finite element simulation to design and select a lattice model with the low thermal conductivity, and its mechanical properties were experimentally verified. The results indicated that the bending strength of the lattice structure could reach 433 MPa and the heat transfer temperature at the tail was significantly reduced with a cell size of 3 mm square and a wire diameter of 1 mm. Compared to traditional solid structures, the fill rate was reduced by 25.90 %. Therefore, the lattice structure exhibits characteristics of high strength, light weight and low thermal conductivity. Furthermore, lightweight and high-heat-resistance zirconia ceramic lattice screws were successfully fabricated via using photocuring 3D printing technology, achieving the transition from theoretical simulation to component application. The research in this work provides an effective strategy for the fabrication of ceramic lattice screws with lightweight and high-heat-resistance performances and exhibit the potential application in aerospace and military defense fields.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
