The PM process includes powder production, SLS, debinding and furnace sintering. Three different strategies are investigated in order to improve the density of the final alumina parts: laser remelting, warm isostatic pressing (WIP), and different infiltration techniques which use alumina containing suspensions: pressureless infiltration and infiltration under pressure (i.e. squeeze infiltration). Furthermore, microstructural and geometrical changes which occur during the PM process are investigated. 粉末冶金（PM）工艺制造，通过间接选择性激光烧结（SLS）球形氧化铝聚酰胺复合粉体氧化铝部分的方法。PM工艺包括粉末生产，SLS，脱脂和烧结炉。研究了三种不同的策略，以提高最终的氧化铝密度：激光重熔，热等静压（WIP）和不同的渗透技术，利用氧化铝悬浮液含有：无压渗透和有压渗透（即挤压浸渗）。此外，材料微观结构和几何变化过程中发生的变化的研究。 _ 2012 CIRP. 1. Introduction引言 SLS of metal or ceramic components can be done directly or indirectly. Indirect selective laser sintering involves melting of a sacrificial organic binder phase to produce ‘green parts’. After the laser sintering step, the binder phase is removed in a furnace and a ‘brown part’ is obtained. In a last step, the density of the part is improved by furnace sintering. Direct selective laser sintering does not involve a sacrificial b
