<p>Molding feedstock compositions for shaping parts from metallic and/or ceramic powders are disclosed. A novel process is disclosed for preparing metal and/or ceramic injection molding compounds in a continuous manner amenable to high volume manufacturing. The process comprises the steps of forming a mixture including metal and/or ceramic powders, a binder and a liquid carrier by supplying the components in a continuous manner to a twin screw extruder, forcing the homogeneous compounded mixture through an exit die, and cutting the extruded strand into pellets. The pellets are useful for shape-forming articles by various molding processes.</p> |
