FERRULE FOR OPTICAL-FIBER CONNECTOR AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A process for producing a ferrule for optical-fiber connectors which comprises the following steps 1 to 4; and a ferrule for optical-fiber connectors which is produced by the process. Step 1: A metal powder and a binder are kneaded together and granulated to form a flowable material. Step 2: The flowable material is injection-molded to form a green body. Step 3: The green body is degreased to remove the binder and then sintered to form a ferrule prototype. Step 4: The ferrule is subjected to post-processing.
