This study aims to utilize silicon carbide (SiC) powder and
phenol-formaldehyde resin (PF) as the primary raw materials to prepare
phenol-formaldehyde coated silicon carbide composite (PCSC) using a thermal
coating method. Then, single-factor experiment and orthogonal experiment
were used to optimize the process parameters of selective laser sintering
(SLS). Finally, SiC precursors were formed using optimized process
parameters with excellent density and dimensional accuracies. The results
show that the best combination of process parameters is: laser power of 25W,
scanning speed of 1.7m/s, scanning spacing of 0.12mm and layer thickness of
0.16mm.
Keywords: selective laser sintering, silicon carbide, orthogonal experiment, parameter optimization
