Abstract
MIM process is hoped to be an advance 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. In this study, as one of new approaches to improved the above problems in MIM process, MIM in-process bonding by using the exuded wax during solvent debinding has been attempted to produce the larger, more compheated and functional parts by combination of the same or different materials such as martensitic (SUS420J1) and austenitic (SUS304L) stainless steel powders.
