Development of binder system for manufacturing metallic and ceramic parts by Powder Injection Molding technology

摘要

The technology is used by manufacturing companies of metallic and ceramic parts. The PIM companies have an important problem: they have to use a patented feedstock. This fact causes an increasing of the cost of final product. Moreover sometimes is difficult to obtain parts from several materials because only exists few commercial feedstocks. We offer some innovative aspects, the possibility of development of feedstocks from different ceramic and metallic powders and different morphologic and surface characteristics.
