Abstract: The object is to provide a powdered metal injection compacting composition adapted to give compacts free from deformation, cracking or blistering without being compromised in compactability or debinder characteristic and without the aid of a special jig.This composition comprises a metal powder and an organic binder comprising (A) a crystalline resin having a melting point of not less than 150.degree. C., (B) an organic compound the weight loss on heating of which begins at a temperature below 150.degree. C. and (C) a composite acrylic resin, the composite acrylic resin mentioned above being a resin obtainable by dispersing a solution comprising the following components (C1).about.(C3) in an aqueous medium containing a dispersant and carrying out a suspension polymerization reaction:(C1) an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer,(C2) a (meth)acrylic ester monomer or a mixture of a (meth)acrylic ester monomer and a styrenic monomer, and(C3) a polymerization initiator.

Abstract: Grafting a scion on a stock is effected by opening a chuck and inserting bar-like members in a storage chamber successively into the chuck with the front end of such bar-like members protruding out of a front end hole 5D, 105D, closing the chuck 4, 104 to thereby hold the bar-like member 2, inserting the front end of the protruding bar-like member 2 into a graft joint end of the stock, separating the grafting device from the bar-like member, and inserting the other end of the bar-like member into a graft joint end of the scion so as to abut the graft joint ends of the stock and scion against each other. The bar-like member can be simply and rapidly inserted into the stock, so that abutment between the stock and scion can be effected with extreme ease.
