Abstract
Powder injection molding (PIM) opens new possibilities to process complex Sr-ferrite components for magnetic applications. In the present study, new binder system with the addition of microcrystalline wax (MW) was used for the Sr-ferrite powder injection molding. The optimum binder composition was determined based on rheological measurement, mircrostructure observation by SEM, thermal change by DSC and debinding process. The results indicated that MW with 10vol.% addition in the binder system containing high density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW) and stearic acid (SA) decreases the defects of the green parts after solvent debinding because the distribution of the binder system between the Sr-ferrite particles becomes more homogeneous. Using the proper binder system containing MW, the defect-free and dense Sr-ferrite ceramics can be prepared after solvent and thermal debinding and sintering. Based on the experimental results, the effects of MW microcrystalline wax on the solvent debinding of the Sr-ferrite ceramics were detailed discussed.
