Description

[0001] L’invention concerne une composition de liant pour moulage par injection ainsi qu’une composition de moulage par injection (feedstock) destinée à la fabrication de pièces de forme métalliques ou céramiques The invention relates to a binder composition for injection molding as well as an injection molding composition (feedstock) intended for the manufacture of shaped metal or ceramic parts

[0002] Dans la fabrication de matériaux durs pour la bijouterie et l’industrie horlogère, ou encore pour des applications techniques telles que le médical, l’électronique, la téléphonie, l’outillage, les plaquettes de coupe d’usinage, l’industrie des biens de consommation, et notamment en ce qui concerne des matériaux durs généralement désignés sous le nom générique de «céramiques» inorganiques, on met en œuvre des techniques de métallurgie des poudres. On appellera ici «céramique» le matériau de synthèse inorganique obtenu, quelle que soit la nature de ce matériau, saphir, rubis, diamant artificiel, glace saphir, céramique, micro-aimant, métal, alliage, ou autre. In the manufacture of hard materials for jewelry and the watch industry, or for technical applications such as medical, electronics, telephony, tooling, machining cutting inserts, consumer goods industry, and in particular with regard to hard materials generally referred to under the generic name of inorganic “ceramics”, powder metallurgy techniques are used. The inorganic synthetic material obtained will be called “ceramic” here, regardless of the nature of this material, sapphire, ruby, artificial diamond, sapphire crystal, ceramic, micro-magnet, metal, alloy, or other.

[0003] Les matières premières de base sont de différente nature, de façon générale, et comportent au moins d’une part de la poudre de céramique et d’autre part des liants organiques, tels que résines ou matières plastiques ou similaires qui permettent l’injection et la bonne tenue du composant réalisé avec le mélange de l’ensemble des matières premières. D’autres additifs peuvent être incorporés au mélange. Ces matières premières peuvent également être de différentes textures: solide, pulvérulente, liquide, ou encore pâteuse. Le mélange peut en outre changer de structure au cours de son élaboration, en particulier, et non limitativement, quand des composants complémentaires d’une résine subissent une réaction de polymérisation. [0003] The basic raw materials are of different nature, in general, and comprise at least on the one hand ceramic powder and on the other hand organic binders, such as resins or plastics or the like which allow the 'injection and good performance of the component produced with the mixture of all the raw materials. Other additives can be incorporated into the mixture. These raw materials can also be of different textures: solid, pulverulent, liquid, or even pasty. The mixture can also change structure during its preparation, in particular, and not limited to, when complementary components of a resin undergo a polymerization reaction.

[0004] Le procédé global de fabrication d’un composant céramique inorganique comporte au moins les étapes suivantes: préparation des matières premières; mélange(s) des matières premières, ou/et pré-mélange deux à deux (ou plus) si nécessaire; d’homogénéisation; granulation; pressage, notamment dans une chambre de moulage, d’une quantité de poudre ou de granulés feedstock issue du malaxage et de la granulation, pour la réalisation d’une ébauche de composant. Ce pressage peut être réalisé par injection, sous pression, notamment dans un injecteur à vis comportant des moyens de mise en température de cette quantité de poudre ou de granulés feedstock issue du malaxage et de la granulation; étuvage de déliantage pour la combustion ou/et la dissolution de certains composants du mélange; traitement thermique de l’ébauche en sortie de déliantage, pour le frittage donnant sa cohérence finale au composant fini. Ce traitement thermique entraîne un retrait dimensionnel, qui permet l’obtention d’un composant en cotes finies; traitement de finition d’aspect du composant.[0004] The overall process for manufacturing an inorganic ceramic component comprises at least the following steps: preparation of raw materials; mixing (s) of raw materials, or / and pre-mixing two by two (or more) if necessary; homogenization; granulation; pressing, in particular in a molding chamber, of a quantity of powder or feedstock granules resulting from mixing and granulation, to produce a component blank. This pressing can be carried out by injection, under pressure, in particular in a screw injector comprising means for bringing this quantity of powder or feedstock granules from the mixing and granulation to temperature; debinding stoving for the combustion and / or the dissolution of certain components of the mixture; heat treatment of the blank after debinding, for sintering, giving its final consistency to the finished component. This heat treatment causes dimensional shrinkage, which allows a component to be obtained in finite dimensions; component appearance finish treatment.

[0005] L’invention vise plus particulièrement à proposer un liant pour composition de moulage par injection optimisé facilitant le malaxage en métallurgie des poudres pour l’obtention de céramiques ou de métaux, de façon à obtenir une production de qualité très reproductible, avec un coefficient de retrait maîtrisé. The invention aims more particularly to provide a binder for an optimized injection molding composition facilitating the mixing in powder metallurgy for obtaining ceramics or metals, so as to obtain a production of very reproducible quality, with a controlled shrinkage coefficient.

[0006] On connaît déjà, par exemple le brevet US 5 145 900, des matériaux thermoplastiques (feedstock) pour la fabrication de pièces moulées céramiques qui contiennent une poudre inorganique frittable et un liant organique polymérique, celui-ci étant essentiellement constitué d’un mélange de polyoxyméthylène et de copolymères de polyoxyméthylène et de polyoxolanes. [0006] For example, US Pat. No. 5,145,900, thermoplastic materials (feedstock) are already known for the manufacture of ceramic molded parts which contain a sinterable inorganic powder and a polymeric organic binder, the latter essentially consisting of a blend of polyoxymethylene and copolymers of polyoxymethylene and polyoxolanes.

[0007] Ces feedstocks ont révélé toutefois de nombreux inconvénients, comme par exemple une fluidité insuffisante en moulage par injection, et des problèmes de tenue des pièces de formes moulées qui présentent des fissures et du feuilletage, ceci surtout lorsque la forme des pièces est complexe; ils sont en outre responsables de problèmes environnementaux dus à la nécessité d’utiliser des produits agressifs, tels que l’acide nitrique, plus particulièrement pour l’élimination finale de la phase organique. De plus, l’utilisation d’eau dans ce processus d’élimination du liant organique est problématique dans le cas où les feedstocks contiennent des matériaux métalliques qui risquent d’être oxydés. [0007] However, these feedstocks have revealed numerous drawbacks, such as for example insufficient fluidity in injection molding, and problems with the holding of molded shaped parts which have cracks and lamination, this especially when the shape of the parts is complex. ; they are also responsible for environmental problems due to the need to use aggressive products, such as nitric acid, more particularly for the final elimination of the organic phase. In addition, the use of water in this organic binder removal process is problematic in the event that the feedstocks contain metallic materials which may be oxidized.

[0008] En conséquence, le but de la présente invention consiste à fournir un liant pour composition de moulage qui obvie aux inconvénients susmentionnés, et plus particulièrement qui vise à améliorer l’homogénéité et la fluidité du feedstock pour permettre la fabrication de pièces métalliques ou céramiques de formes plus complexes, de réduire les temps de cycle en production, d’augmenter la résistance mécanique des corps verts et déliantes aux contraintes de production (manipulation et diverses opérations de reprise), et enfin qui supprime la nécessité d’utiliser des produits agressifs pour l’environnement pour l’élimination du liant organique, en remplaçant ceux-ci par des solvants non polluants pouvant être éliminés par simple traitement thermique. [0008] Consequently, the aim of the present invention is to provide a binder for a molding composition which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks, and more particularly which aims to improve the homogeneity and the fluidity of the feedstock to allow the manufacture of metal parts or ceramics of more complex shapes, to reduce cycle times in production, to increase the mechanical resistance of green bodies and debinding to production constraints (handling and various recovery operations), and finally which eliminates the need to use products aggressive for the environment for the elimination of the organic binder, by replacing them with non-polluting solvents which can be eliminated by simple heat treatment.
