Expérimentation et simulation numérique du déliantage thermique et de la densification des composants obtenus par moulage par injection de poudres.

摘要

Thermal debinding is one of the most important steps In Powder Injection Moulding process. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) are employed to analyze the physics and kinetics of thermal debinding behaviour under argon atmosphere. The Kissinger and Ozawa method have been used to estimate the kinetic parameters from thermogravimetric experiments. To set up the numerical simulations of thermal debinding stage using finite element method, a coupled mathematical has been developed. The basic steps of the proposed model consist to solve the following sequences of coupled problems: themal degradation of binder coupled with heat transfer and deformation phenomena by finite element method using Comsol Multiphysics software.In the second part of this thesis, sintering behaviour of tungsten powders injection moulded component, under pure hydrogen atmosphere at temperature up to 1700°C. The experimental tests are used to determine the material parameters in the parameters in the viscoplastic constitutive law, which is incorporated with the identified parameters in order to simulate the final shrinkages and densities of tungsten injection moulded components during the sintering process. Comparison between the numerical simulations results and experimental ones, in term of shrinkages and sintered densities, shows a good agreement.
