Improvements in sintered density and dimensional stability of powder injection-molded 316L compacts by adjusting the alloying compositions

Effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe–30%Ni alloys produced by spark plasma sintering

“…Metal injection molding (MIM) which is a near-net shaping technique has been proven to be an effective processing method for applications where complex shape with high dimensional accuracy and high density are required [8][9][10][11] . The use of arc-discharge technique to process Fe-Ni nanocapsules from mechanically alloyed Fe-Ni powders was also reported [12,13] .…”

Correlation of Microstructure with Hardness, Wear Resistance, and Corrosion Resistance of Powder-Injection-Molded Specimens of Fe-Alloy Powders

“…Recently, intensive studies on the PIM have been conducted because of its designing freedom. [1][2][3][4] Complex-shaped three-dimensional parts can be precisely fabricated by using various powders such as metals, ceramics, hard metals, superalloys, and intermetallics. Mass production is achievable even in cases of hard-to-process materials or uncastable ones without post treatments, thereby leading to the fast replacement of machined or precision-cast parts.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The PIM is composed of several processes, in which fine powders are mixed with binders, the mixed powders are injected into a mold, binders are removed from the injection-molded body, and only powders are sintered at high temperatures. Recently, intensive studies on the PIM have been conducted because of its designing freedom.…”

Water-based binder system for SOFC porous steel substrates

“…Binder systems with soluble polymers have been studied for application in metal injection molding [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], and several kinds of binders were used for the binder systems, e.g. polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylene (PE), paraffin wax (PW), stearic acid (SA) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).…”
