Experiments and identification in micro powder injection moulding from stainless steel powder 5μm size
Source abstract
Abstract
Research tasks at ENSMM/LMA are focused on the development of mixtures of very fine powders associated to polymer binders dedicated to the powder injection micro-moulding (μPIM) in accordance with many works already carried out with different feedstock suppliers dedicated to the macrocomponents. Other research parts are the measurement of the shrinkage rate for cylindrical specimen in dilatometer during sintering stage and the beam bending tests during sintering process for to determine the viscosity of the sintered parts at high temperatures. It is important work to identify the constitutive law in a thermo-elasto-viscoplastic sintering model for the prediction of the shrinkage, relative density, the final residual stress and the deformation of the micro components.
