Abstract
This paper described finite element analysis (FEA) for fabrication processes of PZT perform using ceramic injection molding (CIM). The viscosity and the PVT characteristics of the manufactured PZT feedstock were measured. The filling patterns, pressure and temperature distributions of the preform were analyzed with TIMON 3D packages during CIM process. The geometrical variables such as gate type, location, and base thickness of the preform were considered. Also the fabrication conditions of the preform were optimized during the entire CIM process. Based on the simulated results, the various good perform was easily fabricated with the CIM process.
