ESTABLISH THE GENERAL USB OF CERAMIC TOOLS IN PRODUCTION

摘要

Ceramic tooling is now used to satisfy the requirements of cold forming and. high temperature applications. Work during this period vas concerned with molding dies, embedded element hot sizing tooling, layup blocks, and production improvement methods.nPour additional layup blocks are now used in production. Tool veer problems of the hot sizing die have been largely eliminated.nThe release of fiberglass parts from the tool has been facilitated through the development of a tool surface slickening technique and an improved re-lease agent.nCeramic molding dies, layup blocks, and hot sizing dies are capable of producing acceptable parts. Further development is needed to standardize tool fabrication and use techniques.
