Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A manufacturing method of a heat shield component includes a mixing step of mixing sol including a ceramic precursor with heat-expandable microspheres having an outer shell formed of thermoplastic resin and encapsulating a foaming agent so as to obtain a mixed solution, a coating step of applying the mixed solution to a substrate to obtain a coated product, and a heating step of heating the coated product to form a base body including a ceramic from the ceramic precursor, and leading the heat-expandable microspheres to foam so as to form a ceramic porous layer including closed pores in the base body. The ceramic porous layer has a porosity in a range of 40% to 70%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A manufacturing method of a heat shield component, the manufacturing method comprising: a mixing step of mixing sol including a ceramic precursor with heat-expandable microspheres having an outer shell formed of thermoplastic resin and encapsulating a foaming agent so as to obtain a mixed solution; a coating step of applying the mixed solution to a substrate to obtain a coated product; and a heating step of heating the coated product to form a base body including a ceramic from the ceramic precursor, and leading the heat-expandable microspheres to foam so as to form a ceramic porous layer including closed pores in the base body, the ceramic porous layer having a porosity in a range of 40% to 70%. 2. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein a temperature for heating the coated product is 280° C. or lower. 3. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-expandable microspheres are formed of a single layer of the outer shell. 4. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic precursor includes zirconium. 5. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic precursor includes aluminum. 6. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein the foaming agent includes at least one selected from a group consisting of hydrocarbon, chlorofluorocarbon, and tetraalkylsilane. 7. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of the outer shell of the heat-expandable microspheres before foaming is in a range of 0.1 μm to 20 μm. 8. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter of the heat-expandable microspheres before foaming is in a range of 1 μm to 50 μm. 9. The manufacturing method of a heat shield component according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the heat-expandable microspheres is in a range of 10% to 30% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of a total amount of the sol and the heat-expandable microspheres excluding an organic solvent.
