How Many Binders?

Big binder has been applied to metal injection molding industry, different binder reflect difference between powder properties and de-binding process. The binder in injection molding process can generally be divided into five types, most of them are compounds, specific classified as: thermoplastic polymer, thermosetting polymer, inorganic polymer, gel system, inorganic substance

The First Phase of De-binding

The first phase of debinding generally can adopt solvent extraction, siphonage, evaporation, distillation, catalytic reaction and thermal decomposition method. Not removed binder plays the role of fixing powder particles and keeping blank shape in the first stage of de-binding. In the following heating process, residual adhesive was evaporated from open pore. Usually hope the binder will not form internal vapor pressure during removing, lest cause deformation of blank.

the MIM metal injection molding of cemented carbide powder

In metal injection molding MIM, another important powder is cemented carbide powder, it is a mixture of tungsten carbide and cobalt powder powder, cobalt powder and tungsten carbide inspection milling time can reduce the average particle size of powder particles, and on the surface of tungsten carbide wrapped a layer of cobalt in the process of sintering, cobalt powder melt into liquid phase, when cooling solidification as a kind of hard phase, after grinding powder its standard oxygen content of 0.07%, all other refractory metal chromium, molybdenum content of about 0.01% in general.

the MIM ideal characteristics of metal injection molding

Suitable for injection powder particle size and morphology change is bigger, in the morning, but in general, the requirement for particles of equiaxed grain size, nearly spherical, and less than 20 microns, due to the large particles between small particles can fill powder, thus wide particle size distribution of powder packing density is high, but to ease the breakfast injection of broad size distribution of two phase separation, so as to bring the technology behind the greater difficulty.

Why MIM Suitable for Small Size Product?

MIM process joins a large number binder. Its sintering after removing binders is similar to traditional powder metallurgy sintering. Taking fine powder as raw material can meet the requirement of densification, which results in cost increase greatly. If large size products still adopt fine powder, it will be not competitive. At the same time, due to product size increasing, degreasing time increased accordingly, and the defect occurrence probability increase greatly. In addition, product size increased, injection molding time increased so as for higher requirements for rheological properties of binder in order to carry powder quickly to different parts of the cavity. All above are factors restricting MIM products to larger size. Hence MIM technology has been confined to smaller size, high accuracy product.

Powder metallurgy brake piece has two kinds: iron base and copper base. Iron base powder metallurgical brake piece has excellent tribological propertie and high mechanical strength under high temperature and high load, can be used within 400-1000 ℃, but attrition is quite large at low speed. Thermal stability of the iron base is higher than copper base.
