In recent years, injection molding has received special attention as a method for forming complex ceramic parts. High temperature applications in aerospace, advanced heat engines and electronics are but a few of the market areas that have opened up for these special materials. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the steps involved in the ceramic injection molding process. The particular binder systems, the molding and dewaxing processes serve as illustrative examples to indicate how problems can be solved. It is dedicated to providing the reader with a convenient and authoritative source of information and guidance on the use of materials, equipment and testing procedures associated with processing powders and additives into moldable formulations and for injection molding them into satisfactory ceramic products. Emphasis is placed on the applied aspects of the various process steps and the underlying theories are presented in sufficient detail that the reader will appreciate the significance of the various process parameters. All involved in the manufacture of complex ceramic parts will find this book invaluable.Ceramic engineers and anyone involved in the production of ceramics at any stage will find it of great interest and it provides a source of information for those studying ceramics at any level.
