Abstract
In this paper, a fabrication process for PZT preform of 1-3 type piezo-composite were studied using powder injection molding (PIM). The viscosity and the Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) characteristics of the fabricated PZT feedstock were analyzed. The filling patterns, pressure, temperature distributions, and forming defects of the preform were analyzed with 3D TIMON commercial packages during PIM process. Also the fabrication conditions and the delivery system of the preform were optimized during the entire PIM process. Based on the simulated results, the preform having uniform distributions of the PZT rod was fabricated with the PIM process.
