... sample is placed in a tube furnace (GSL 1700X, MTI) for sintering. As the sample sinters, the sacrificial mold swells and cracks while the article powders sinter and shrink. Finally, the debris from the mold is removed with a brush and the final sintered sample is attained. Figure 1 Process...

... discs with no designed porosity, and nominal surface area matching the suspected worst-case wedge (15 mm, 700 µm pore). Powder sintering Medical products Commercial and industrial uses for additive manufacturing (AM) have grown over the past decade, especially in aerospace and medical...

... it is convenient to minimize the amount of support structures by optimizing the built orientation, this method will not always works well especially when complicated parts and too much amount of support structures in all orientations are required. Selective laser sintering Rapid prototyping Powder sintering...

... fabrication. Design/methodology/approach – SVM employs a combination of sand casting and powder sintering process to construct a prototype layer by layer. A dense layer of support material is prepared and selectively removed to create a cavity where part material is filled and sintered to form a solid...

... manufacturing Die casting Mechanical properties of materials Powder sintering Since additive manufacturing is an industrial manufacturing method, it needs to integrate common industrial practices of standardization and control of variability. Hague et al. have pointed out the need to include...

... machines have been developed for compact and loose powder sintering and a set of experiments for copper and bronze powders has been performed. The experimental results based on macroscopic mechanical inhibition and chemical inhibition are briefly discussed as follows. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited...
