[16P-T7-01] Reduction of Sintering Distortion in Metal Binder Jetting - Measuring Friction under Sintering Conditions
キーワード：Sintering, Friction, Tribology
As one of the additive manufacturing processes, metal binder jetting enables the resource-efficient production of highly complex metal components and is more cost-effective for small batch sizes compared to metal injection molding. At the end of the metal binder jetting process chain, the components are sintered as well, whereby they are subject to a shrinkage of up to 20%. To address this issue, a precise understanding of the coefficients of friction is indispensable. This knowledge is important for gaining insights into the phenomenon and, notably, for refining the simulation of the sintering process. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute by presenting the determination of these coefficients of friction, particularly focusing on temperatures reaching up to 1350 °C.
