摘要
An improved wax-based binder was developed for the powder injection molding(PIM) of WC-TiC-Co cemented carbides. The critical powder loading and the rheologic behavior of thefeedstock were determined. It was found that the critical powder loading could achieve up to 62.5percent (volume fraction) and the feedstock exhibited a pseudo-plastic flow behavior. The injectionmolding, debinding and sintering processes were studied. The dimension deviation of the sinteredsamples could be controlled in the range of + -0.2 percent with the optimized processing parametersand the mechanical properties were better than or equivalent to those of the same alloy made byconventional press-sintering process.
