MiLi Task 2 New Athermalized Ceramic Materials Development Details
| Task | Title | Description | Lead | Participants |
| 2.1 | Preparation of zero CTE ceramic materials | Studies of new compositions will be performed
to optimize the thermomechanical behaviour in the whole operation range (defined by Scientific Requirements (D1.1).
Composite materials will be fully characterized (density, microstructure, CTE, etc.) and best candidate will be selected
for Task 5.2. | CSIC | |
| 2.2 | Conditioning of ceramic materials for green machining | Machining ceramics is a difficult and expensive process due to the intrinsic hardness and brittleness of these materials.
Preparation of the zero CTE material selected in previous task will be adapted to ceramic technologies used at industrial
scale such as spray drying or casting techniques in order to facilitate the subsequent green machining of components. | CSIC | |
| 2.3 | Preparation and validation of complex shape components | Components selected by the project to be produced with zero CTE ceramic materials will be obtained by machining
ceramic green bodies that can be prepared either by casting or by pressing spray dried powders. In this task it will be
studied the pre-sintering and sintering parameters in order to obtain the final component with the desired microstructure,
density, CTE and shape.
