This study was carried out to investigate the possibility whether Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process could be applied to 95wt.%W-3.5wt.%Ni-1.5wt.%Fe heavy alloy in order to obtain an intricate shape. Methylcellulose was used in the injection molding for binder. $FeCl_2-4H_2O$ was added in solvent substituting Fe powder and $FeCl_2$ was doped on W-Ni premixed powder. When $FeCl_2-4H_2O$ was added in solvent, the binder separation occurred for injection molding so that the matrix content was changed. Such problem was solved when $FeCl_2$ was doped. In this study. the debinding process did not affect residual carbon content. The sintered microsouctures as addition methods of Fe element and the sintering temperature from $1420^{\circ}C$ to $1470^{\circ}C$, which are around the temperature of liquid phase formation, were observed.

In this study, to achieve good electrical conductivity of a charging terminal component in electric vehicles, we investigated the microstructure evolution of pure-Cu subjected to metal injection molding by controlling the sintering variables, such as temperature and time. Thus, three samples were sintered at temperatures ranging from 1000 ℃ to 1050 ℃ near to the melting temperature of 1085 ℃ for 1 and 10 h after thermal evaporation of binder at 730 ℃. Both procedures were made using a unified furnace under Ar+H₂ gas with high purity. The structural observation displayed that the grain size as well as the compactness (a reciprocal of porosity) increased simultaneously as temperature and time increased. This gave rise to high thermal conductivity of 90% IACS together with high density, which was mainly attributed to decrease in fractions of grain boundaries and micro-pores working as effective scattering center for electron movement.

W-Cu alloy is attractive to thermal managing materials in microelectronic devices because of its good thermal properties. The metal injection molding (MIM) of W-Cu systems can satisfy the need for mass production of the complex shaped W-Cu parts in semiconductor devices. In this study, the application of MIM process of the mechanically alloyed (MA) W-Cu composite powders, which had higher sinterability were investigated. The MA W-Cu powders and reduction treated (RT) powders were injected by using of the multicomponent binder system. The multi-stage debinding cycles were adopted in $N_2$ and $H_2$ atmosphere. The isostatic repressing treatment was carried out in order to improve the relative density of brown parts. The brown part of RT W-Cu composite powder sintered at 110$0^{\circ}C$ had shown the higher sinterability compared to that of MA powder. The relative sintered density of all specimens increased to 96% by sintering at 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The relationship between green density and the sintering behavior of MA W-Cu composite powder was analyzed and discussed on the basis of the nanostructured characteristics of the MA W-Cu composite powder.

micro CPL 제작을 위한 LICA 및 MEMS 공정을 개발하였으며 양산화를 위한 새로운 방법으로 ${\mu}$MIM(micro Metal Injection Molding) 기술을 제안하였다. 먼저 LIGA 기술을 이용하여 Cu 도금 구조물로 이루어진 micro CPL 구조물을 제작하였다. 각각 상판과 하판 구조물로 나누어 제작하였으며 상, 하판 Cu 구조물을 brazing 방법을 이용하여 접합하였다. 또한 micro CPL 내부에서 일어나는 냉매의 흐름 및 상변화(liquid ${\leftrightarrow}$ vapor) 거동을 관찰할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 Si/glass 투명 micro CPL을 제작하였다. 상기 공정을 이용하여 냉각 능력이 10w/$cm^2$ 이상인 micro CPL을 제작하였다. 상기 연구 결과를 바탕으로 양산화를 위한 새로운 정밀복제기술인 ${\mu}$MIM(Micro Metal Injection Molding) 공정을 개발하였다. LISA 공정으로 제작된 정밀 금형을 core금형으로 사용하였고 $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 W-Cu(10%) powder와 binder가 혼합된 흔합분말을 이용하여 micro channel 구조물(선폭 $100{\mu}m$)의 성형 복제에 성공함으로서 양산화를 향한 기반기술을 확립하였다.

통상적인 금속분말의 성형은 분말야금 공정으로 이루어지기 때문에 복잡한 형상의 부품을 구현하는 데는 제약이 있다. 하지만, 1970년대 후반 이래 새로운 금속분말의 성형기술로 크게 각광을 받으며 연구되고 있는 금속분말사출성형(Metal Powder Injection Molding, MIM) 기술을 이용하면 다양한 형태의 부품을 성형할 수 있다 최근에는 이러한 MIM 기술을 이용하여 다양한 산업분야에 응용될 수 있는 마이크로 부품을 제조하고자 하는 연구개발이 주목받고 있다./sup 1)/ 현재까지는 마이크로 부품을 제조하는 원천기술이 반도체 공정기술이나 마이크로 기계가공기술에 크게 의존하고 있다./sup 2,3)/ 특히, 경제적 효용성이라는 관점에서 수 마이크로 이하의 극미세 구조물은 반도체 공정기술을 이용하여 성형하는 것이 유리하며, 1㎜의 치수를 갖는 미세 구조물은 마이크로 기계가공기술로 제조하는 것이 적합하다(그림 1). 하지만, 수십 마이크로에서 수백 마이크로의 치수를 갖는 구조물 제조에 있어서 앞선 두 공정기술은 응용 재료의 종류와 복합한 형상의 대량생산에 한계가 있다. 비록 반도체 공정기술에서 박막 증착과 전기화학적 도금기술을 이용한 표면미세가공 기술에 의해 수십 마이크로 이내의 치수를 갖는 미세 구조물을 정밀하게 성형하지만,/sup 4,5,)/ 수백 마이크로 크기의 치수를 반도체공정기술로 구현하기는 곤란하다. 또한, 마이크로 기계가공기술도 높은 가공 정밀도를 유지하며 수백 마이크로 크기의 구조물을 가공할 수 있지만 복잡한 모양의 형태를 대량생산하기에는 적합하지 않다.

Carbon contamination from the binder resin is an inherent problem with the metal powder injection molding process. Residual carbon in the W-Cu compacts has a strong impact on the thermal and electric properties. In this study, uncertainty was quantified to evaluate determination of carbon in a W-15%Cu MIM body by the combustition method. For a valid generalization about this evaluation, uncertainty scheme applied even to the repeatability as well as the uncertainty sources of each analyse step and quality appraisal sources. As a result, the concentration of carbon in the W-Cu part were measured as 0.062% with expanded uncertainty of 0.003% at 95% level. This evaluation example may be useful to uncertainty evaluation for other MIM products.

An investigation was carried out on the possibility whether the ball-milling process of low energy could successfully improve the packing density and flowability for MIM application in W-20wt%Cu system. In this study, W-20wt%Cu powder mixture was prepared by ball-milling. W powder was not fractured by low mechanical impact energy used in the present work during the critical ball-milling time, but the ductile Cu powder was easily deformed to the 3 dimensional equiaxed shape, having the particle size similar to that of W powder. The ball-milled mixture of W-20wt%Cu powder had the more homogeneous distribution of each component and the higher amount of powder loading for molding than the simple mixture of W-Cu powder with an irregular shape and a different size. Accordingly, the MIM W(1.75)-20wt%Cu powder compacts were able to be sintered to the relative density of 99% by sintering at $1400^{\circ}C$ for one hour.
