Aspects of Economical Production of Silicon Nitride Injection Molded Components

Silicon nitride is a promising engineering material characterized by the special combination of its properties such as extremely high strength and toughness, low thermal expansion, good thermal conductivity, high hardness, and extremely high chemical resistance [1, 2, 3] With this property profile, silicon nitride is predestined for extreme mechanical and thermal operating conditions as well … Read more

Binder Jetting as Complementary Technology to Metal Injection Molding?

Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ) is an additive process in which binder is introduced locally into metal powder layers. The generated green parts are then debindered and sintered. In contrast to beam-based additive processes, hard materials can also be processed and, in principle, higher volumes or large, complex components can be produced more economically. Background The … Read more
