Optimum Powder Loading of Feedstock Based on an Alumina-Zirconia Powder for Ceramic Injection Molding

Article Preview

Abstract:

The optimum powder loading of feedstock based on an alumina–zirconia powder was investigated. The optimum powder loading were important to avoid any problems that may arise during the ceramic injection molding (CIM) process. The optimum powder loading is determined based on the critical powder loading and the characterization of the material rheological properties. The critical powder loading was determined using an oil absorption method, and the rheological studies were conducted using a capillary rheometer machine. The results showed that a 57 vol.% powder loading is the most suitable and optimal for the CIM process.
