Fabrication of Micro Component of Metallic Nano Powder Using Polymer Mold
Fabrication of Micro Component of Metallic Nano Powder Using Polymer MoldSoft mold;Nanopowder;Microcomponent;Process;Novel polymer mold process for fabrication of microcomponents using metal nanopowders was developed and experimentally optimized. Polymer mold for forming green components was produced by using a hard master mold and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). In the preparation of metallic powder premix for the green components without any defect, 90 wt.% 17-4PH statinless steel nanopowders and 10 wt.% organic binder were mixed by a ball milling process.
