In this study, four different loading feedstocks were prepared from gas atomized copper powder with wax-based binders. Mixes of four feedstocks with 2 Vol. incremental powders loading from 55 to 61 Vol. were carried out in a Z-blade mixer. The injection molding was carried out at low pressure. A combination of solvent and thermal debinding was used for binder removal from the samples and then the sintering process take place in argon gas at 900°C. It was observed that the feedstock containing 59 Vol. of copper produce a free defect samples which was selected as the optimum feedstock. © 2010 Asian Network for Scientific Information. publisher: Asian Network for Scientific Information date: 2010 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Goudah, G. and Ahmad, F. and Mamat, O. and Omar, M.A. (2010) Preparation and characterization of copper feedstock for metal injection molding.
