Definitions
- the present invention relates to powders used when forming ceramic structures by laser irradiation.
- Additive manufacturing technology (3D printers) that creates arbitrary shapes based on 3D model shape data is becoming widespread.
- technology has been developed to manufacture high-precision, high-strength ceramic structures using not only resins and metals, which have traditionally been used as modeling materials for 3D printers, but also inorganic compound materials such as metal oxides and metal carbides. is required.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a raw material powder suitable for the powder bed fusion method and the cladding method. Specifically, a powder containing inorganic compound particles with low absorption such as Al 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 , which is the main component of the ceramic structure, has a higher absorption ability for light of the wavelength included in the laser beam than other compositions. Addition of highly absorbent particles. The presence of absorber particles in the raw material powder suppresses the diffusion of laser light in the powder, realizing local heating and melting, making it possible to produce a ceramic structure with high modeling accuracy and high mechanical strength. can.
- Patent Document 2 a powder containing SiO 2 as a main component with absorber particles added thereto is used as a raw material, shaped by a powder bed fusion bonding method, and the obtained shaped product is heat-treated (hereinafter referred to as firing). described) is disclosed.
- firing heat-treated
- Ceramic structures used in the fields of communication, aerospace, and medicine are required to have a low dielectric loss tangent (low dielectric loss tangent) of less than 0.01 at a frequency of 1 MHz.
- the dielectric loss tangent is a numerical value that indicates the degree of electrical energy loss in a dielectric. A dielectric with a lower dielectric loss tangent can accurately transmit a high-frequency electrical signal.
- the dielectric loss tangent tends to increase as the number of small voids with long diameters on the order of several ⁇ m to several tens of ⁇ m increases in the ceramic structure. It is believed that localized discharge (partial discharge) that occurs in the internal voids when a voltage is applied to the ceramic structure is one of the factors that increase the dielectric loss tangent. Therefore, in order to realize a ceramic structure with a low dielectric loss tangent, it is necessary to reduce the internal small voids as much as possible.
- Al 2 O 3 is mixed with ZrO 2 or Gd 2 O 3 that can form a eutectic with Al 2 O 3 to lower the melting point of the raw material powder.
- Particles with different compositions, such as Al 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 or Al 2 O 3 and Gd 2 O 3 have different thermal conductivities. Heat may be difficult to transfer. Therefore, the molten state of each particle tends to be non-uniform and partly remains unmelted, forming voids in the modeled object and increasing the dielectric loss tangent.
- Patent Document 2 the mechanical strength is improved by firing after molding to reduce cracks in the ceramic structure. However, it is unclear whether the small voids can be reduced to the extent that a low dielectric loss tangent can be achieved.
- the powder bed fusion method has made it possible to fabricate ceramic structures with high mechanical strength with high accuracy. not present.

- the powder according to the present invention is a powder used in an additive manufacturing method in which modeling is performed by irradiating a laser beam, comprising particles A of an inorganic compound, particles B of an inorganic compound having a lower thermal conductivity than the particles A, Absorber particles exhibiting a higher absorption capacity than the particles A and the particles B with respect to the light of the wavelength contained in the laser light, the average particle diameter of the particles A being D (A) ⁇ m, and the particles B

- the ceramic structure may be simply referred to as a structure.
- void in ceramic structure In general, a structure manufactured by additive manufacturing technology contains many spaces of various sizes such as voids and cracks.
- a space with a major axis of 1 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m is called a “void”, and a space with a major axis of more than 50 ⁇ m is called a “crack”.
- the reason why many voids are included in the structure is considered to be that portions where the powder does not sufficiently melt are formed while the raw material powder is irradiated with the laser beam.
- the modeling by the powder bed fusion method is performed by irradiating the raw material powder while scanning the laser light based on the shape data of the three-dimensional model to be manufactured. From the viewpoint of molding efficiency, a higher scanning speed is preferable, and a raw material powder that melts with laser light irradiation for a short period of time is desired.
