Laser directed deposition of high-performance Al2O3 ceramics enhanced by SiO2 doping

Abstract: Laser-directed energy deposition (L-DED) has attracted significant attention for its potential to rapidly produce advanced ceramics, which could benefit various industries. Nevertheless, the quality and properties of ceramics manufactured through L-DED still require enhancement to ensure their sustainable application in industry. Here, high-performance Al2O3 ceramics were produced using L-DED by adding small amounts of SiO2. The effects of this doping on the surface bonding quality, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the obtained ceramic materials were thoroughly investigated. The results indicate that SiO2 doping significantly enhances the surface bonding quality of the deposited cylindrical samples. The complete elimination of intergranular voids between adjacent interlayers, a denser microstructure, and the emergence of small bulges on the sample surfaces evidence this improvement. Additionally, the elliptical pores previously present at the edges of the samples have vanished, resulting in tighter intergranular bonding between the grains and a noteworthy increase in relative density. Remarkably, doping with α-cristobalite produced the highest recorded average flexural strength and fracture toughness of the deposited ceramics, achieving values of 483.47 ± 38.84 MPa and 4.87 ± 0.80 MPa·m1/2, respectively. These findings establish SiO2 doping as an effective method for successfully fabricating high-performance Al2O3 ceramics through L-DED.
