Abstract
Simulation results of the formation process of the ceramic fabrications by a hot molding method are presented. Mathematical model describes motion and heat exchange of the liquid thermoplastic slurry of beryllia including the aggregate state change. Velocity and temperature fields during the formation process in the bushings with flat cavity are obtained. Heat flow distribution at the wall of the form-building cavity is demonstrated. The increase of the slurry density during the transition from the liquid state into the viscous–plastic and solid–plastic states is defined.
