Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ceramic core includes sintered ceramic powder and a hole opening on a surface of the ceramic core and having an opening portion with a maximum size of 100 μm or less. A manufacturing method for a ceramic core includes: preparing an injection molding composition by mixing ceramic powder and a binder; manufacturing a ceramic compact by performing the injection molding of the injection molding composition; and manufacturing a ceramic core by sintering the ceramic compact, wherein cumulative percentage of coarse powder with a particle diameter of more than 50 μm included in the ceramic powder is 30% or less on an integrated volume particle size distribution curve of the ceramic powder.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A ceramic core including a sintered body of ceramic powder, wherein an opening portion of a hole present on a surface of the ceramic core has a maximum size of 100 μm or less, and wherein cumulative percentage of coarse powder with a particle diameter of more than 50 μm included in the ceramic powder is 30% or less on an integrated volume particle size distribution curve of the ceramic powder, the cumulative percentage of micropowder with a particle diameter of 5 μm or less in the ceramic powder is 10 to 40%, and the cumulative percentage of the micropowder with a particle diameter of 1 μm or less is less than 5%, and wherein the ceramic powder comprises silica powder (SiO 2 ), 0.1 to 15.0 mass % of alumina powder (Al 2 O 3 ), and 0.5 to 35.0 mass % of zircon powder (ZrSiO 4 ). 2. The ceramic core according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic core has a relative density of 60% or more. 3. The ceramic core according to claim 1 , wherein a fracture surface of the ceramic core includes transgranular fracture particle of ceramic powder. 4. The ceramic core according to claim 3 , wherein the ceramic core has a relative density of 60% or more.
