Viscosity modulation by camphor during stereolithography printing of advanced ceramic materials
Sokola, Patrik ; Roleček, Jakub (referee) ; Salamon, David (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the preparation of printing suspensions containing ceramics, their subsequent printing and evaluation of the properties of sintered ceramics. In the preparation of the printing suspension using zirconium powder stabilized with yttrium, the influence of the viscosity modulator, in particular the camphor, on the properties of the suspension and the final microstructure of the extruded and sintered objects was investigated. Samples with different contents of ceramic particles were prepared and the effect of camphor on the rheological properties of the suspension was determined. It has been found that camphor always has a positive effect on reducing the viscosity of a selected volume of ceramic, and the maximum amount of zirconium powder in the epoxy resin has been determined to make the suspension usable for stereolithographic printing. After printing, the density of the samples, their porosity, particle size, defects in the microstructure, visual quality and percentage shrinkage were evaluated. The camphor samples showed better properties for different volumetric contents of zirconium ceramics for all the mentioned factors.

Actual trends in manufacture of ceramic shell moulds
Štipl, Pavel ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the current trends in the production of ceramic shell moulds. The first part describes the history of investment casting, their use and an overview of world production. In the following parts is out of print the production process of ceramic shell mould using contemporary materials and technologies. The final section describes the defects associated with the production of ceramic shell moulds. The aim of this work is to create a literature search focused on raw materials and processes used to create a ceramic shell mould for investment casting technology.
