Geometric Deviations

This work presents a study regarding the influence of the cooling process, as a result of different mould insert materials, on ceramic parts dimensions obtained by low-pressure injection moulding process. Discs of ceramic with Ø80 × 2 mm, composed by 86 wt.% alumina (Al2O3) and 14 wt.% organic vehicle, were produced. An experimental injection mould was designed and manufactured with built-in heating and cooling systems, controlled by a DAQ (Measurement Computing – USB-TC) and thermocouples K type. Four types of insert materials were used: aluminium alloy (AA7075-T6), electrolytic copper, brass alloy (C36000) and SAE1045 steel. Tests were carried out considering injection moulding parameters constant, i.e. initial mould temperature, injection pressure and time and extraction temperature. All the post-process (debinding by wicking; final debinding and sintering) parameters were also kept constant. Parts were analysed considering dimensions, mass, geometry, visual aspects and defects. The results showed that the cooling rate resulting from the thermal conductivity of each material has influenced more significantly the dimensional shrinkage and mass reduction of the samples during the intermediate post-processes phases. The geometric deviations were different for each condition throughout the process and they increased in the final parts. The parts produced with higher cooling rate had higher geometric deviations.
