Defects free molding of parts depends upon the features of feedstock. In powder injection molding, feedstock preparation is critical step and any deficiency at this stage cannot be retrieve in latter steps. The objective of this research work is to optimize solid loading for defects free injection molded parts. During the present research work five formulations having solid loahng 60-71 vol were prepared by using multi component binder system. The degradation temperature of feedstocks was determined by using Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and flow behavior through rheometer. Homogeneity of the feedstock was verified by using Scanning Electron Wcroscopy (SEM). Finally, injection molding was done and it was found that the feedstocks having solid loahng up to 69 vol were successfully injection molded and components were without physical defects. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information. date: 2013 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Raza, M.R. and Ahmad, F. and Omar, M.A. and Muhsan, A.S.
