Abstract
The thermal debinding of injection moulded silicon nitride components under nitrogen, air, and N-2 + 5%H-2 atmospheres at various temperatur es was investigated. The softening points and bonding structure of bin ders, pore size distribution, density and strength were studied. Resul ts indicated that a slow binder removing rate and control debinding at mosphere are essential to the sintered properties. (C) 1997 Elsevier S cience Limited and Techna S.r.l.
