Numerical simulation of capillary-induced flow in a powder-embedded porous matrix

Partial wick-debinding of low-pressure powder injection-moulded ceramic parts

“…Monte-Carlo simulations of binder removal based on German's assumptions have also been conducted. 8,9 The simulations focused on binder penetration in the wicking embedment and examined the case where pieces are not completely surrounded by the embedment. 8,9 German's model has, however, been criticized, on the basis of experimental data.…”

“…8,9 The simulations focused on binder penetration in the wicking embedment and examined the case where pieces are not completely surrounded by the embedment. 8,9 German's model has, however, been criticized, on the basis of experimental data. Contradicting the model, many researchers observed that the binder is uniformly distributed inside the body at all stages of the debinding process.…”

Wick Debinding - An Effective Way of Solving Problems in the Debinding Process of Powder Injection Molding

“…This model is simple and has frequently been used as a basis for research in wick debinding. Monte-Carlo simulations of binder removal based on German's assumptions have also been conducted (Shih & Houring, 2001;Lin & Houring, 2005). These simulations focused on binder penetration in the wicking embedment and examined the case where pieces are not completely surrounded by the embedment.…”
