  • Patent number: 7279126
    Abstract: A novel process for manufacturing of injection molded metal, ceramic, and CERMET parts, in a manner amenable to high-volume, low-cost manufacturing, comprising the steps of forming a mechanical mixture of metal and/or ceramic powders at room temperature, a binder and a liquid carrier, said carrier being a solvent for the binder at elevated temperature; supplying the as-mixed components to the inlet hopper of an injection molding machine or extruder; molding or extruding green parts; and then drying and sintering the green parts to obtain net or near-net-shape finished metal, ceramic or CERMET parts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 9, 2007
    Inventor: Robert Craig Morris
  • Patent number: 7189277
    Abstract: Molding compositions and forming processes for normally rust-prone iron-based powders, and articles produced therefrom. Metal alloy systems that can be successfully formed using the processes of the invention, include elemental iron and iron alloys including low and medium alloy steels, tool steels and a number of specialty iron-base alloys.
