Problems solved by technology

However, the metal has a large specific surface area in the powder state, and some active metals, such as titanium, are highly sensitive to interstitial elements such as oxygen and carbon, and need to be heated during the feeding and injection processes, which exacerbates the risk of powder oxidation
At the same time, traditional feeding needs to use solvent stripping or acid stripping to remove the main binder in the injection body for subsequent degreasing and sintering, and the process is complicated

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing metal injection molding by injection slurry and belongs to the field of metal injection molding. According to the invention, metal powder, a polymer monomer, a dispersing agent and a solvent serve as raw materials and are evenly mixed to obtain the injection slurry, the injection slurry is injected into a heated mold through an injection machine (a mold core of the mold is made of porous metal), bubbles and the solvent in the slurry are removed through a porous channel, and solvent volatilization is realized under the effect of mold temperature; and then in-situ curing forming of an injection green body is realized, and the injection green body obtained after demolding is degreased and sintered to obtain a metal part in a complex shape. solvent volatilization of the injection slurry is realized by using the porous metal as an injection mold, so that in-situ curing is triggered, and an injection green body is obtained. The preparation and injection of the injection slurry can be carried out at normal temperature, so that the requirements on the production environment are reduced, the traditional solvent removal/acid removal process is omitted, degumming and sintering can be directly carried out, and the method is simple in process, short in flow, high in applicability and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metal injection molding and provides a method for injecting slurry to realize metal injection molding. Background technique [0002] Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a near-net forming technology that combines plastic injection molding with new powder metallurgy technology. A binder is added to the metal powder to make it have a certain fluidity, and it is injected into the mold and formed, and then removed. Binder and sintered to obtain metal products with high strength and good wear resistance. Metal injection molding combines the advantages of plastic injection molding and powder metallurgy. It can not only produce metal parts with complex shapes, but also minimize the segregation of alloy components, that is, both shape and performance are taken into account. [0003] Generally speaking, in the process of making injection feed, it is necessary to heat the binder to a molten state so that it can be evenly mixed...
