Background
The porous ceramic material with the three-dimensional communicated open-pore network structure has the advantages of excellent physical and chemical properties, light weight, adjustable porosity, high permeability and the like, and is gradually and widely paid attention to the application fields of chemical process reinforcement, composite materials and the like. However, the porous ceramic material with the traditional three-dimensional connected open-cell network structure is mostly obtained by a process of repeatedly dipping an open-cell foam template material in slurry, inherits the random structure of the foam template, macroscopically presents a random structure with low repeatability and long-range no procedure, and has morphological defects, so that the porous ceramic material has uncertainty of mechanical and physical properties.
The 3D printing (or increment manufacturing and additive manufacturing) technology refers to a technology for manufacturing solid parts by adopting a material layer-by-layer accumulation method through three-dimensional modeling based on the principle of discrete material layer-by-layer accumulation forming, and is also a systematic and comprehensive technology combining multiple fields of computers, materials, machinery and the like. According to the different base materials used in the 3D printing technology, the printing technology can be divided into metal materials, high polymer materials, ceramic materials and composite materials; according to different molding principles, the method can be further divided into selective laser sintering and three-dimensional photo-curing printing technologies, direct ink-jet printing, silk extrusion type 3D printing technologies and the like. Compared with the traditional manufacturing technology, the 3D printing technology has the advantages of saving raw materials, realizing near net forming, being capable of manufacturing materials with complex shapes and difficult processing, being flexible and controllable in design and production space and the like.
The Chinese patent application publication No. CN 107032798A discloses a preparation method of a porous ceramic material based on photo-curing rapid prototyping, which comprises the steps of preparing raw materials such as photo-curing resin prepolymer, reactive diluent, surface modifier, ceramic powder, pore-forming agent, photoinitiator and the like into porous ceramic slurry, then placing the ceramic slurry into photo-curing 3D printing equipment for prototyping to obtain a blank, and finally degreasing and sintering the blank to obtain the porous ceramic material.
The invention patent of China with the application publication number of CN 108101574A discloses a method for preparing a ceramic porous piece by 3D printing and the ceramic porous piece, wherein the method is to put ceramic paste prepared from raw materials such as ceramic powder, a binder, a defoaming agent, a solvent and the like into a bin of a desktop 3D printer for printing so as to prepare a ceramic porous piece blank; then placing the blank in a carbon dioxide atmosphere for gradual drying polymerization and curing; and finally, placing the cured ceramic porous piece blank in an air furnace for integrated degreasing-sintering treatment to obtain the required ceramic porous piece.
The technology for preparing the ceramic material directly by using 3D printing mainly comprises the steps of preparing ceramic powder and an auxiliary agent into slurry, printing out a ceramic blank body by using a 3D printing technology, degreasing, sintering and the like, and forming the ceramic material. Although the method exerts some of the advantages of the 3D printing technology, the material prepared by 3D printing of the ceramic slurry is generally rough, low in density, incomplete in sintering inside the material, easy to remain preparation defects, and poor in product dimensional accuracy.

The average compressive strength of the porous silicon carbide ceramic material is 27.6MPa, the average bending strength is 26.9MPa, and the total porosity is 50%.
As shown in fig. 2 (a) -2 (b), from the macroscopic morphology of the porous template material for occupation with a regular pore structure, the shape of the porous template material manufactured by the photo-curing 3D printing method can be freely designed, and the size can be directly and flexibly controlled.

The porous silicon carbide ceramic material with high dimensional accuracy is prepared through a reaction sintering molding process and a post-treatment process. The technology is simple in process and small in equipment investment; the technical scheme combining the 3D printing technology and the reaction sintering overcomes the defects of large product shrinkage, difficult control of precision, easy change and even damage of topological structure and the like in the liquid phase sintering method. The prepared porous silicon carbide ceramic material with the regular pore structure is a novel porous ceramic material, and has the innovation points that: (1) Compared with the traditional foam material, the foam material has regular macroscopic support frameworks and pore structures such as a polyhedral structure periodically stacked in space or a geometric body structure based on a triple periodic minimum curved surface, and has good structural designability; (2) Has relatively high volume fraction (i.e. relatively low porosity) and good geometric dimension precision and high compactness; (3) The supporting framework can contain pores with nanoscale and/or microscale pore diameters, and the pore size can be regulated and controlled; (4) The problem of mechanical property degradation caused by residual triangular holes of porous foam ceramics prepared by a traditional template slurry coating method due to template removal is solved, and compared with the porous foam silicon carbide ceramics with a general random structure, the porous foam silicon carbide ceramics with a regular pore structure and a solid structure enable stress at material nodes to be more uniform, the whole is more stable, and the mechanical property is better.
