Investigation of effective parameters on fabrication of alumina parts by low pressure injection molding (LPIM) method

Low pressure injection molding (LPIM) method in this paper is investigated as a method of forming alumina parts. This is one of the methods of making engineering ceramics with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy. In this method, a binder system (paraffin wax + carnuba wax) was used as a plastic agent for easy formation of alumina particles. Different parameters such as feedstock temper...

Wax-based binder for low-pressure injection molding and the robust production of ceramic parts

In this paper, a wax-based binder was developed for low-pressure injection molding of very fine (0,4 μm) average particle size alumina ceramic bodies. The major component used in the binder mixture was paraffin wax. The process of binder removal from the green ceramics presented several difficulties especially when the ceramic powder was very fine, and the pieces had large cross-section. The pr...

Precision Injection Molding PRECISION PROCESS CONTROL OF INJECTION MOLDING

1 INTRODUCTION The technical requirements of precision injection molded components demand a heightened level of process performance, and with corresponding process monitoring and control technologies. To obtain the desired critical to quality attributes (CTQs) of the molded products, the injection molding process must be consciously designed such that the key process variables (KPVs) are observ...

Ceramic Injection Molding

Powder injection molding (PIM), which encompasses metal injection molding (MIM) and ceramic injection molding (CIM), is a net-shaping process which enables large scale production of complex-shaped components for use in a diverse range of industries. It combines plastic injection molding techniques and performance attributes of ceramic and metal powders. Ceramic injection molding (CIM) uses cera...
