Recycle methods for water based powder injection molding compounds

摘要

A process of adjusting the processing characteristics and product properties of a water-based ceramic powder-based molding compound, comprising providing a ceramic powder-based molding compound that is at least one of green material or dry virgin feedstock material, exposing the molding compound to water, and measuring at least one of water content or additive content in the molding compound so as to produce a molding compound having a water content of 8 wt % or less, or so as to produce an optimum balance of injection molding process characteristics and product properties.
