In this work, powder injection molding (PIM) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder has been studied. Defect-free high performance Ti-6Al-4V parts with low carbon/oxygen contents have been successfully prepared by PIM. A pre-alloyed Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder and wax-polymer binder system have been mixed together to prepare the feedstock. In mixing stage, the solid loading percentage and mixing conditions have been optimized. Rheological and thermal debinding behaviors of prepared feedstock have been characterized and numerically expressed based on rheometry and thermal gravity experimental results. In addition, the injection molding process of Ti-6Al-4V parts has been numerically analyzed to optimize the injection molding conditions. Consequently, the defect-free Ti-6Al-4V parts with low carbon and oxygen contents have been successfully fabricated by PIM, which exhibits excellent physical and mechanical properties.

Molding Process

The PIM (powder injection molding) process consists of several steps in which faults can occur. The quality of the part that is produced usually cannot be seen until the end of the process. It is therefore necessary to find a way to discover the fault earlier in the process. The cause of defects is very often “phase separation” (inhomogeneity in powder distribution), which can also be influenced by the holding pressure. This paper evaluates the powder distribution with a new method based on density measurement. Measurements were made using various holding pressure values.

In this article, the fabrication steps of copper parts, using the powder injection molding method have been investigated. For the purpose of this study, first, several feedstocks were prepared by mixing copper powder (in volume percentages of 60, 64, 68, and 72%) and a thermoplastic binder. Due to the sensitivity of the mixing stage in the powder injection molding process, the Extrumixing method was utilized to appropriately mix the copper powder with the binder. Rheological characteristics of the different feedstocks were analyzed by means of a capillary rheometer. Based on this analysis, the feedstock having a 68 vol. % copper powder was selected as the optimum powder, out of which, samples shaped like tensile test specimens were successfully molded. These samples were later debinded by the solvent debinding method. Sintering of the pieces was carried out at different temperatures. Research showed that raising the sintering temperature leads to an increase of density and tensile strength of the specimens.

Deflection Analysis

Powder Injection Molding (PIM) has recently been recognized as an advanced manufacturing technology for low-cost mass production of metal or ceramic parts of complicated geometry. With this regards, design technology of dental scaler tip PIM mold, which has complex shape and a slim core pin of 0.6 mm diameter, with the help of computer-aided analysis for powder injection molding process was developed. Computer-aided analysis for dental scaler tip mold was implemented by finite element method with non-Newtonian fluid, modified Cross model viscosity, PvT data of powder/binder mixture. The core deflection analysis of dental scaler tip PIM mold during PIM filling process was also investigated. Compter-aided analysis results, such as filling pattern, weldline formation, and air vent position prediction were investigated and eventually showed good agreements with experimental results.
