A process for making a sintered bilayer, comprising: providing a green bilayer, comprising a green body layer and a metal layer, under tension of 1 N to 300 N per meter of web width; moving the green bilayer through a first heating zone to produce a debindered bilayer; moving the debindered bilayer through a second heating zone to prepare a sintered bilayer; wherein the debindered bilayer is in an arched configuration as the debindered bilayer moves through the second heating zone; wherein the…
2Description
The present disclosure concerns processes for calcining, debindering, and/or sintering ceramics. In some examples, these ceramics are deposited as a layer on top of a metal layer. These two layers make a bilayer. The bilayer is heated in a continuous processing apparatus.
