The effect of thermoplastic binder and the corresponding mixing technology for alumina ceramic injection molding on the rheology behavior
formability and mechanical properties are discussed. The thermal behavior of the binders is analyzed by TG-DSC
the microstructure of the green bodies is characterized by SEM. The results show that the adequate thermoplastic binders are made up by polypropylene
paraffin and stearic acid in the mass ratio of 20:70:10
and the mass fraction of alumina gets 80%. The density and three-bending strength of the sintered samples are improved by increasing the alumina and paraffin contents. The green alumina ceramics with fewer structural defects and excellent performances can be obtained when the rotational stirring heating-mixed technology is adopted.
