the rheological behavior of feedstocks used in powder injection molding technology influences strongly on the final properties of the products. powder loading is one of the important factors that have a great distribution on rheological behaviors. by using the gas atomized spherical 316l stainless steel powder and the binder of 55% paraffin wax+ 40% polyethylen+ 5% stearic acid, four kinds of f...

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...

In this study, we focus on making a double-sided metal plate with an internal structure, such as honeycomb. The stainless steel powder was used in the metal injection molding (MIM) process. The preliminary studies were carried out for the measurement of the viscosity of the stainless steel feedstock and for the prediction of the filling behavior through Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulati...

Metal powder injection molding is a shaping technology that has achieved solid scientific underpinnings. It is from this science base that recent progress has occurred in titanium powder injection molding. Much of the progress awaited development of the required particles with specific characteristics of particle size, particle shape, and purity. The production of titanium components by injecti...

Biologically inert elastomers such as silicone are favorable materials for medical device fabrication, but forming and curing these elastomers using traditional liquid injection molding processes can be an expensive process due to tooling and equipment costs. As a result, it has traditionally been impractical to use liquid injection molding for low-cost, rapid prototyping applications. We have ...
