You can check out our technology article in the "INNO" magazine from IVAM Microtechnology Network now! Please take a look to learn more about our technology.
What is INNO?
"INNO" is the international high-tech magazine for users of micro- and nanotechnology, photonics, MEMS and new materials. The magazine "INNO" reaches more than 6,000 readers from business and science as a PDF file via e-mail. The topics are primarily aimed at executives from R&D, technical management, sales and marketing, and the executive board. The readership also includes experts from politics, authorities and associations. "INNO" provides expert and comprehensible information on current and future developments. The practical and economic benefits of high-tech innovations are emphasised.
What is IVAM Microtechnology Network?
IVAM brings together people who are passionate about key technologies and the way in which these technologies shape our lives and our future. As an international microtechnology trade association and expert in technology marketing, IVAM brings together representatives of the high-tech industries and supports them in bringing innovative technologies and products to the market and securing advantages in international competition.
Conclusion
Cracking, slumping or blistering is commonly observed due to the binder swelling and/or residual stress difference between the surface and interior. It is possible to avoid these problems by selecting appropriate organic solvents and temperature control.
The catalytic deboning uses sublimation of binder, thus it is possible to decompose the binder in relatively short processing time with minimizing the deformation. However, with a strong acidic atmosphere, theapplicable metal material option is limited.
In the sintering process, the necking, which is bridging the metal powders by thermal diffusion, starts at the sintering temperature. Once the necking starts, the shrinking is observed and increases the density, thus before starting the necking reaction, all the organic components should be decomposed and gas between the powders should be removed. In the sintering process, the unwanted chemical reaction, such as oxidation or carbonization, leads to mechanical property loss, therefore a precise atmosphere control with low heating rate at the beginning of the process is required. Also, when it reaches the sintering temperature, some add it vegetal can be evaporated.
