The Development of Small Size Double Side Metal Plate with Internal Structure Utilizing Metal Injection Molding Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, it is focused to make a double side metal plate with internal structure. The stainless steel powder (17-4PH 15F) was used in PIM process. PE(HDPE and LDPE) and PP were used to make the sacrificed insert with honeycomb structure using plastic injection molding process. And then these sacrificed insert parts were inserted at metal injection mold and metal injection molding process was carried out to build green part with rectangular shape. Subsequently, de-binding and sintering process were adopted. The dimensional contraction was occurred about 15.5% in width direction and about 16.2% in thickness direction.
