Development of a Statistically Proven Injection Molding Method for Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride, Sintering Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride, and Sintered Silicon Nitride. Final Report, July 1, 1985-June 30, 1986

摘要

A statistically proven, series injection molding technique for ceramic components was developed for the construction of engines and gas turbines. The flow behavior of silicon injection-molding materials was characterized and improved. Hot-isostatic-pressing reaction bonded silicon nitride (HIPRBSN) was developed. A nondestructive component evaluation method was developed. An injection molding line for HIPRBSN engine components precombustion chamber, flame spreader, and valve guide was developed. This line allows the production of small series for engine tests.
