Co-sintering of metal-ceramic laminates with consideration of aniso-tropic shrinkage
Motivation
The multitude of possible properties and combinations gives metal-ceramic laminates a high degree of flexibility. However, a major challenge is the identification of compatible materials for which the existing different shrinkage rate during the sintering process does not lead to production errors or undesired deformations. In practice, this identification of a defect-free design of near-net-shape laminates is still frequently based on the "trial and error" principle, which results in a high failure rate and requires a long development period. Therefore, there is a high demand for simulation methods that allow the prediction of deformation and manufacturability during the sintering process. Furthermore, it is necessary to accurately predict the thermal stress during co-sintering and the remained residual stresses after co-sintering process in order to ensure the reliability of metal-ceramic laminates as structural components.
