TY - JOUR TT - An Investigation of Sintering Parameters of Ti-6Al-7Nb Fabricated by Powder Injection Molding AU - Subaşı, Mehmet PY - 2017 DA - December JF - Gazi University Journal of Science PB - Gazi University WT - DergiPark SN - 2147-1762 SP - 502 EP - 512 VL - 30 IS - 4 KW - Ti-6Al-7Nb KW - Powder Injection Molding KW - Sintering N2 - In this study, the optimized sintering parameters for a feedstock obtained by mixing the powder of Ti-6Al-7Nb and 31wt% binder system (comprised of high-density polyethylene, Polypropylene, PEG 20000, paraffin wax and stearic acid), were determined. In order to produce a component, Taguchi method was applied to obtain the optimum conditions. As a result of ANOVA, sintering temperature was proven to be the most effective one. It was also proven that for feedstock comprised of 69wt% Ti-6Al-7Nb powder, the suitable set of sintering parameters were as follows: sintering temperature of 1250 °C, dwell time of 60 min, heating rate of 1 °C/min, gas flow rate of 5 L/min.
