MIM process is hoped to be an advanced powder processing technique for near net shape forming the high density, high performance, and complicated parts. However, there still remains the issue of limitation in the shape and volume of MIM compacts because of using the die.
In this study, as one of new approaches to improve the above problems in MIM process, MIM in-process joining of thin and hollow parts by using the exuded wax during solvent debinding step has been attempted to produce larger, more complicated and functional parts by combination of the same or different materials such as martensitic (SUS420J1) and austenitic (SUS304L) stainless steels.
