Debinding Behaviors and Mechanism of Injection Molded ZrO₂ Ceramics Using Kerosene as Solvents

Abstract:

In this study, low-cost kerosene with low toxicity was used as organic solvent to research the solvent debinding behavior of ceramic compact produced by injection molding. The Influences of time, temperature and solid loading on the debinding rate were investigated, the mechanism of which was also discussed. The results show that: The debinding rate increased with increasing temperature and decreased with extended time; Diffusion is the controlling factor at the initial stage and temperature was the main factor influencing the reaction rate; Dissolution is the controlling factor and concentration difference was the main factor at the later stage; The higher the solid loading of green body, the slower the debinding rate and the lower the final proportion of binder removal.
