Abstract | Powder injection molding is an established, cost effective and often near-net-shape mass production process for metal or ceramic parts with complex geometries. This paper deals with the extension of the powder injection molding process chain towards the usage of a commercially available borosilicate glass and the realization of glass compounds with huge densities. The whole process chain consists of the individual steps of compounding, molding, debinding, and sintering. The first part, namely, the search for a suitable feedstock composition with a very high solid load and reliable molding properties, is mandatory for the successful manufacture of a dense glass part. The most prominent feature is the binder composition and the related comprehensive rheological characterization. In this work, a binder system consisting of polyethylene glycol and polymethylmethacrylate with stearic acid as a surfactant was selected and its suitability for glass injection molding was evaluated. The influence of all feedstock components on processing and of the process steps on the final sintered part was investigated for sintered glass parts with densities around 99% of the theoretical value. |
