How do they create things like ceramic turbo turbines and ceramic exhaust manifolds? Seems like the shrinkage problem would prevent these close tolerances.

- lazide 4y agoLots of trial and error and tossed parts during manufacture. Neither of those parts are known for being cheap.
- adrian_b 4y agoThe same shrinkage problem exists for the ceramic tooth crowns. The vendor of the dental ceramic provides a program that uses a mathematical model of the shrinkage to compute the form required for the ceramic crown before sintering. Of course the mathematical model is not perfect so the dentist may still have to do some small adjustments to the sintered crown.
