Metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are classified into two groups according to the consolidation mechanisms and densification degrees of the as-built parts. Densified parts are obtained via a single-step process such as powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, and sheet lamination AM technologies. Conversely, green bodies are consolidated with the aid of binder phases in multi-step processes such as binder jetting and material extrusion AM. Green-body part shapes are sustained by binder phases, which are removed for the debinding process. Chemical and/or thermal debinding processes are usually devised to enhance debinding kinetics. The pathways to final densification of the green parts are sintering and/or molten metal infiltration. With respect to innovation types, the multi-step metal AM process allows conventional powder metallurgy manufacturing to be innovated continuously. Eliminating cost/time-consuming molds, enlarged 3D design freedom, and wide material selectivity create opportunities for the industrial adoption of multi-step AM technologies. In addition, knowledge of powders and powder metallurgy fuel advances of multi-step AM technologies. In the present study, multi-step AM technologies are briefly introduced from the viewpoint of the entire manufacturing lifecycle.

본 연구의 목적은 분말 사출성형 공정에서 초임계유체를 이용하여 사출성형체로부터 결합제를 효율적으로 제거하는 것이다. 두께 1~2 mm 정도의 얇은 성형체의 경우는 기존의 초임계 추출공정을 이용하여 초기부터 온도, 압력이 높은 조건에서도 아무런 결함 없이 단시간 내에 결합제를 제거할 수 있지만, 시편이 두꺼워질수록 초기에 균열이 발생하기 때문에 일정 공정조건에서는 한계가 있다. 따라서 초기에는 낮은 공정조건에서 시작하여 단계별로 온도와 압력을 상승시키는 초임계 가변 조건 탈지공정을 연구하였다. 두께 1~4 mm의 세라믹 사출성형체 시편을 사용하여 여러 가지 초임계 조건에서 탈지실험을 수행하여 두꺼운 세라믹 사출성형체에 균열이 생기지 않으면서 가장 추출수율이 높은 가변조건 공정의 초기조건을 설정하였다. 이렇게 설정한 초기조건을 시작으로 직경 10 mm, 두께 4 mm의 두꺼운 세라믹 사출성형체 시편을 온도 333.15~343.15 K, 압력 12~27 MPa, $CO_2$ 유량 0.5~1.0 L/min 범위에서 단계별로 상승시켜 최종적으로는 5시간동안 95% 이상의 파라핀 왁스 결합제를 제거할 수 있었다.

세라믹 사출성형시 결합체의 조성에 따른 혼합물의 유동학적 특성과 제조조건에 따른 시편의 결함 생성 및 탈지공정에 대하여 조사하였다. 2wt%의 stearic acid를 코팅한 세라믹 분말(65wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ㆍ35 wt% 장석)에 결합체로 15,20 및 25wt%의 Paraffin Wax (PW)와 High Density Polyethylene(HDPE)을 첨가하여 $160^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 혼합하였다. Capillary rheometer로 측정한 혼합물의 겉보기 점도는 shear rate가 $1000s_{-1}$일 때 80~300Pa.s로 사출성형에 적합한 유동성을 나타내었으며, 결합제의 조성에 의존하였다. 결합제의 조성이 15H5P5(총 15wt%의 결합체중, HDPE/PW 비=5:5)인 사출성형 시편은 사출압력과 관계없이 short shot가 생성되었으나, 사출압력이 45kgf/$cm^{2}$인 10H5P5 사출성형 시편은 결함이 관찰되지 않았다. 사출성형 시편 중의 pw를 $70^{\circ}C$의 n-heptane 용매에서 5시간동안 침지하여 제거한 후, $450^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 열처리하여 HDPE를 제거하였다. PW의 추출에 의해 형성된 연속기공을 통하여 HDPE의 효과적인 제거와 기계적 강도의 손상없이 사출성형이 가능한 결합체 조성은 20H5P5이었다. $1300^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 소결한 20H5P5 시편의 부피비중은 2.8, 기공률은 3% 이하 및 3점곡강도는 약 2,400kgf/$cm^{2}$으로 구조용 재료로서 사용이 가능하였다.

A new binder system and debinding process for low carbon residue in the injection molding of Nd(Fe, Co)B powder are investigated. In the injection molding of magnetic materials, it is demanded to reduce carbon residue which deteriorates their magnetic properties. The binder system developed is composed of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and polypropylene (PP). PEG was selected as a major binder is component to be extracted in a molecular state by solvent extraction in ethanol, which step would leave no residue. PP was selected as a minor binder component to be subsequently removed by thermolysis which step would leave carbon residue. The behaviors of solvent extraction with the variations of PEG molecular weight, temperature, and time were examined. The dependency of residual carbon content on thermolysis atmosphere was also studied. Opened pore channels introduced in a green body by the solvent extraction and microstructures of the sintered magnets were observed using SEM.

Ceramic Injection Moulding (CIM) technology has been successfully used for the fabrication of Mn-Zn Ferrite part. The binder was composed by polypropylene and paraffin wax. The optimal powder loading (58% vol.) was determined by means of rheological measurements. Threedifferent parts, toroids, bending and tensile probes were injected. Thermal and solvent-thermal debinding was designed based on DSC and TGA studies of the binder. The time of the debinding cycle was reduced using n-heptane to dissolve previously the paraffin wax. Final properties have been determined and compared with uniaxial pressure parts values. The densities obtained were slightly higher than those of uniaxial pressure parts and the magnetic properties presented similar values.

A new PIM in-process joining technique has been developed for more complicated and functional PIM components by application of the exuded wax from the green compacts during solvent debinding step. At first, various stainless steels and iron compacts with rectangular shape were combined, and the joining behaviors and properties were investigated by shear and tensile test, and microscopic observation. Subsequently, perfect joined three pieces of thin and hollow compacts were obtained for the combination of same and different stainless steels, and it was difficult to join the iron and stainless steel compacts in hydrogen atmosphere because of the different starting temperature of shrinkage. However, pretty good joined iron and stainless steel compacts were obtained by consideration of particle size and vacuum atmosphere. Finally, for the combination of ferro-silicon and austenitic stainless steel compacts, high functionality (magnetic (1.60Tes1a) & non-magnetic) and perfect joint were obtained.

Organic binders are usually pre-mixed with ceramic powders to enhance the formability during the shape forming process. These binders, however, must be eliminated before sintering in order to avoid pore formation and unusual grain growth during sintering. The present work was performed to investigate the effects of residual binder on grain growth behavior during sintering of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3$ piezoelectric ceramics. The microstructures of sintered samples were examined for various thermal processes and atmosphere at debinding. Addition of binder seems to promote abnormal grain growth especially in incompletely debinded regions and to make the grain shape change from corner-rounded to faceted.
