The invention discloses a low-cost stainless steel indirect additive manufacturing method. The low-cost stainless steel indirect additive manufacturing method includes the following steps that stainless steel
powder and binders are fully mixed, stirred and heated, the particle specification of the stainless steel
powder is 8-12 microns, and the weight ratio of the stainless steel
powder to the binders is 92:8-90:10; the binders are made of the following raw materials, by weight, 20-25 parts of
microcrystalline wax, 60-70 parts of polyformaldehyde, 6-9 parts of
polyethylene, 3.5-4.5 parts of paraffin and 0.2-1 part of
stearic acid; after being cooled, the mixed powder is prepared into granular feed through a granulator, and then an
injection molding machine is utilized to process the granular feed into wires containing binders; the wires are loaded on a conventional plastic 3D printer and printed into stainless steel greens;
solvent degreasing is first conducted on the stainless steel greens, and then thermal
degreasing is carried out on the stainless steel greens; and finally, the stainless steel greens are consolidated through
vacuum sintering, and highly compact stainless steel indirect printing finished products are obtained after cooling to the
room temperature. The low-cost stainless steel indirect additive manufacturing method has the beneficial effects that the materialcost is low,
processing equipment is simple, the rate of finished products is high, and the product quality is good.
