The 3D graphite/ceramic composite prototyping parts directly prepared by selective laser sintering (SLS) were porous, which led to poor strength and low thermal conductivity. In order to obtain low thermal conductivity and high strength, its thermal conductivity and compressive strength were adjusted by changing the mixture powder composition and adding post-processing. The result showed that the addition of silicon powder in the mixture powder could significantly improve the compressive strength and thermal conductivity. The addition of expanded graphite was beneficial to the formation of the closed pores in the matrix, which slightly reduced the compressive strength but significantly reduced the thermal conductivity. The 3D graphite/ceramic composite part showed an order of magnitude improvement in compressive strength (from 1.25 to 13.87 MPa) but relatively small change in thermal conductivity (from 1.40 to 2.12 W·m−1K−1) and density (from 0.53 to 1.13 g·cm−3) by post-processing. Reasonable mixture powder composition and post-processing were determined and realized the possibility of fabricating a 3D graphite/ceramic composite part with low thermal conductivity but high compressive strength. Furthermore, it could be used for the repeated casting of steel castings, and through the comparative analysis of casting defects, the prepared graphite/ceramic composite part was expected to replace water glass sand mold.

Selective laser sintering (SLS) of Si3N4 and Al2O3 powders were investigated in this work. Copolymer was synthesized through monomer MMA and BMA. Infrared spectrum was employed to characterize the as-synthesized copolymer. Results show that the main compositions of the copolymer are PMMA and PBMA. The binders were prepared by mixing the copolymer and the inorganic NH4H2PO4 with certain ratio. Binders were used to coat the Si3N4 and Al2O3 powders by spray drying. The coated powders were sintered successfully by SLS to make cubic part and rotor part.

Nanostructured ceramic bulk materials were achieved from nano-Al2O3 ceramic powders via direct selective laser sintering (SLS). SLS as a non-traditional machining technology of Rapid Prototyping was introduced and compared with other ceramic forming technologies. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied to analyze the microstructure of the ceramic bulk materials. These results demonstrated that the nano-Al2O3 ceramic powders can be sintered into bulk materials maintained nanostructure with some technological parameters. It was found that the nanostructured ceramic bulk exhibited unique microstructure and was free formed rapidly by this sintering technology.
