Abstract

Ceramic injection molding (CIM) is an integrated technology combined with powder technology, injection molding and sintering science. Mass production of ceramic parts with dimensionally accurate and complex shape can be realized by CIM. This paper presents the fundamental knowledge fully on CIM from the material selection to the final sintering process. It introduces properties of ceramic powder, binder system and the feedstock, and then mixing process of feedstock is demonstrated. The injection molding of feedstock is also analyzed. Especially for the key important process, debinding, has been indicated and discussed a lot. CIM is a complex processing technique. Different ceramic powder with different binder system needs suitable injection molding and debinding process which are all necessary to be investigated in order to ensure its efficiency and productivity. This paper shows you the critical issues to determine the appropriate process besides the basic theories on CIM.
