چکیده
Mold Decomposed injection sculpturing (Mold DIS) process which integrates injection and sculpturing in layered manufacture is a novel rapid prototyping technique. In this paper a wax mold is fabricated through DIS process, the 316L stainless steel slurry is then cast into the mold. After curing and drying, the wax mold is melted and the green part is obtained. The purpose of this paper is to study the process of sintering and infiltration of the green part especially which have fine features. Firstly, the solid state sintering was investigated using taguchi experiments. The result shows that sintering temperature gives more effect on the final density than heating rate and holding time. However, when high temperature sintering is adopted, complex shape parts can not be formed without flaws due to the excess shrinkage. Then, copper-infiltration is used to QPaOQ TUZWMSQMZPUY [bQYQOTMZUOMX [QUQ ZQcUZRUXMU[Z [OQ ZMYQPkT[ UYQTUSTQY QMaQlUZRUXMU[ZUaUXUfQP[R[Y TQTUZcMXQP aOaQ T[c TM UZQQP sample with shrinkage rate of 5.02%, density of 7.56 g/cm, bend strength of 336.4 MPa and TMPZQ [R F U[NMUZQPT[aSTkT[ UYQTUSTQY QMaQlO[ QUZRUXMU[ZM % gC in vacuum. Finally, a part whose feature size range from 1.6 mm to 45 mm and a part with complex internal structure are formed without obvious defects.

Plastic injection is a method in which, with using an extruder in granules, plastic is injected in a hole with high pressure. Because of meeting the two flow fronts in this process welding line will be made. Along the welding line the strength of produced part is low; therefore the position of welding line and its clarity are very important. In this paper, analyzes have been done with Fluent an...
