ABSTRACT:
The preferred sintered parts made of oxygen-sensitive, non-reducible powders and their production by injection-molding are distinguished by the powders used being freed of their oxide layer by attritor milling in a water-free organic solvent, in the presence or absence of an additional reductant, the oxide particles being removed if necessary by filtration or screening in the presence of the organic solvent, the oxide-free powder being mixed as suspension with a polyacetal as binder under a protective gas, the organic solvent being distilled off, the mixture of powder and polyacetal being heated above the melting point of the polyacetal and being compounded to give a homogeneous composition, the granular material thus obtained being processed in an injection-molding machine made inert with argon to give shaped bodies, the shaped bodies being freed of binder under the action of oxalic acid in a closed ceramic container which nevertheless allows pressure equilibration under protective gas at atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure, the shaped bodies being, after binder removal, transferred in their container without contact with air into a sintering furnace and being sintered therein according to the prior art.
