Subjects: Refractory materials, Materials science, Industrial efficiency, Construction materials, Rapid prototyping, High temperature electronics, Microfabrication
Abstract: With digital representation and modeling and simulation technology, digital manufacturing as the research direction has deeply affected the development direction of the traditional industry, while high temperature will inevitably become an indispensable technology as a frontier area of digital manufacturing. This paper discusses the synergistic advances in refractory materials and precision manufacturing techniques, including the evolution of refractory materials and precision manufacturing techniques, digital refractory materials, and traditionally manufactured refractory materials at high temperatures. Manufacturing technology and materials are two key factors to guarantee components' precision in precision manufacturing. A combination of detailed surveys in the field and the authors' perspective has culminated in the identification of promising research directions and the challenges to be addressed in the future. Throughout this discussion, it is abundantly clear that refractory materials and precision manufacturing technologies are expected to synergistically progress in close alliance over the foreseeable future. The incorporation of controlled microstructures, comprehensive optimization, precise damage control, and digital assistive techniques will lead to increased production efficiency and considerably improved overall performance in many application fields. It is clear that the manufacture of both traditional components and applications with harsher requirements will progress by leaps and bounds in the foreseeable future. Reduces trial-and-error in lab testing and speeds up development of highly customized materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
