Structure and Properties of Ti3AlC2-SiC and Ti3AlC2-TiC Materials Obtained by Powder Injection Molding Technology

Simulation and modeling of macro and micro components produced by powder injection molding: A review

During the recent years powder processing technologies have gained much attention due to the less energy consumption and recyclable powders. Manufacturing of complicated parts by the conventional powder metallurgy (PM) method is hard due to the uniaxial pressure, which leads to the low design flexibility. In order to prevail these constraints, powder injection molding (PIM) process, which inclu...

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Inconel 625 and 7 18 Alloys Processed by Powder Injection Molding

Powder injection molding of superalloys offer a potential route for the manufacture of small and geometrically complex components for the aircraft engine industry. In this investigation, 625 and 718 alloy powders with an average size below 10 pm were injection molded into tensile test bars which were then sintered in a hydrogen atmosphere at diverse temperatures after debinding. Other 718 alloy...

Effects of Micro and Nano Sized SiC Powder on the Rheological Properties of Al Based Feedstocks for Low Pressure Injection Molding

This study investigates the effects of micro- and nano-sized SiC powder on the rheological behavior of Al based feedstocks for powder injection molding (PIM).  Different compositions of Al feedstocks with additions of micro and nano-SiC powder were prepared and their rheological properties were measured with a rotational rheometer. The effects of SiC content and shear rate were investigated and...

Microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium components fabricated by a new powder injection molding technique

A powder injection molding (PIM) binder system has been developed for reactive metals such as titanium that employs an aromatic compound as the primary component to facilitate easy binder removal and mitigate problems with carbon contamination. In the study presented here, we examined the densification behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties of titanium specimens formed by this proc...
