Abstract

Powder injection moulding (PIM) is a shape forming technique for advance ceramic or metal that allows low cost and complex shape manufacturing. The segregation between powder and binder is a common occurrence during PIM which leads to the inhomogeneity in the green bodies. A multiphase flow numerical model has been developed based on Eulerian approach to simulate this phenomenon in the injection stage of silicon nitride-based ceramics. A viscosity model based on experimental data of the feedstock is employed in the numerical model. Simulated results from the numerical model have been compared with experimental results. A powder distribution analysis is compared with density distribution test of the green bodies with similar process parameters and flow trends is compared experimental short shots.
