Powder Injection Molding Process of Titanium Based Locking Plate
Öz
Titanium alloy is important material which is used for automotive, medical and aircraft/aerospace industry. It is very difficult to machine titanium alloys by conventional methods. The obtaining tolerance values during especially the production of complex geometry have led to manufacturers to develop different methods. In this content, the production of titanium based locking plate was initiated by metal injection molding method. The metal injection molding method is an indispensable manufacturing process for the sensitive tolerance, the serial manufacturing and the production of complex shapes. In this study, flow parameters inside the mold of the feedstocks made from the titanium alloy powder was investigated. The flow parameters were examined by Autodesk Moldflow simulation program. The cylinder temperature was found to be varied from 190 to 210oC. It was determined that the injection pressure was varied depending on the mold and allowances geometry. The holding pressure was found to be 30-60% of the injection pressure. Based on the performed analyses, titanium based locking plates could be produced by metal injection molding method.
