Research Progress on Additive Manufacturing for SiC-Based Ceramics and Its Strengthening and Toughening
Silicon carbide (SiC) materials are widely used in various fields
including national defense
aerospace
energy
and environmental protection owing to its excellent properties such as lightweight
high-strength
and excellentthermal-stability. However
SiC ceramics face a challenge due to the mutually restrictive relationship between their irregular structure and formability. While traditional manufacturing methods can produce high-performance SiC ceramic parts
forming complex structures remains difficult. On the other hand
additive manufacturing is capable of creating intricate designs
but integrating high strength and toughness into SiC-based ceramics through this method poses significant challenges. Therefore
researching additive manufacturing techniques for SiC structural ceramics that offer high precision
strength
and toughness is of great importance. This paper systematically summarizes the SiC-based ceramics produced by current additive manufacturing methods. It analyzes and discusses SiC-based ceramics reinforced through continuous fibers
short-cut fibers/whiskers
and sandwich structure toughening techniques. Based on the current research status
the article also outlines future development trends
providing valuable insights for advancing high-precision
