Abstract

A scientific methodology to characterize the critical mechanical properties of feedstock material for fused deposition of ceramics has been developed. A detailed discussion of the methodology of mechanical characterization and results for lead zirconate titanate (PZT) fused deposition of ceramics (FDC) feedstock is presented. The effect of storage time, temperature and crosshead displacement rates on the mechanical properties of the PZT FDC feedstock was studied. The modulus and the failure stress increase with displacement rate. The modulus and failure stress decrease with temperature indicating the necessity for cooling filaments prior to entrance to liquefier. The modulus also decreases with storage time in 50% RH while failure strain increases with storage time in 50% RH.
