Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of blister or crack at the time of degreasing to remove a binder from a molding and to treat in a short time. SOLUTION: An inorganic powder sintered compact is produced by mixing inorganic powder with the binder to form the molding, removing the binder from the molding and after that, sintering. The binder is decomposed and removed at a heating programming rate of 1.5×V1<V2<25×V1 when the heating programming rate until 35 wt.% of the binder is decomposed and removed is expressed by V1 ( deg.C/hr) and the heating programming rate until 95 wt.% of the binder is decomposed and removed after that is expressed by V2 ( deg.C/hr). The blister or the crack caused by gas generated by the decomposition of binder is prevented by heating at a low temp. rising rate at first. And by heating at a high temp. rising rate after that, the degreasing is finished within a short time.

Therefore, the binder is gradually decomposed, and no swelling or cracking occurs due to rapid gasification inside the molded body. In addition, since the binder in the molded body 11 is removed by 37 wt% by heating to 200 ° C., the molded body has many fine holes in the portion where the binder is removed.

After that, even if the heating rate is increased to 135 ° C./H, the decomposed gas of the binder is discharged from the pores, so that the compact does not swell or crack. Therefore, a good degreased body without swelling or cracking could be obtained. Also, from 200 ° C, to increase the heating rate,
The time required for removing the binder can be reduced by about 12 hours as compared with the conventional case where the heating rate is kept constant at a low rate such as 12 ° C./H.
