LOW PRESSURE INJECTION MOLDING OF ADVANCED CERAMIC COMPONENTS WITH COMPLEX SHAPES FOR MASS PRODUCTION

摘要

This paper reviews the technology of low pressure injection molding that is successfully used for manufacturing of advanced ceramics with different compositions, particularly for the components with custom-designed complex shapes when the production is achieved hundreds pieces/ day or week or higher. The major principles of this technology are reviewed based on the extensive processing experience. Semi-automated equipment for low pressure injection molding technology is described.
