"Prior Art and its Problems" Conventionally, as a method for manufacturing sintered products from metal powder or ceramic powder, the above powder is mixed with an organic binder, kneaded, imparted fluidity to the powder, and then injection molded. A method of manufacturing a sintered product by degreasing and sintering the obtained molded body is known. In this case, degreasing methods include (a) a method in which the organic binder is decomposed and evaporated by heating the injection molded product, and (b) a method in which the organic binder is eluted from the injection molded product using a solvent.

The problem with method (a) is that it takes a very long time to degrease the molded product without deforming it. That is, since the injection molding method utilizes the phenomenon that the kneaded material softens and exhibits fluidity when heated, it is naturally expected that the molded product will soften and deform during heating. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it is considered that the organic binder contained in the kneaded material should be removed before the deformation temperature is reached, but it is not possible to remove the organic binder by decomposing or evaporating below the deformation temperature. It takes a long time. On the other hand, if the organic binder easily decomposes and evaporates below the deformation temperature, the fluidity during injection molding of the kneaded product will become unstable, and in addition, the runners formed after injection molding will become unstable. It becomes difficult to play some parts or parts of the sprue.

Furthermore, in the method of suppressing deformation during degreasing by suppressing the degree of softening during heating, fluidity during injection molding deteriorates, making precise molding difficult. On the other hand, methods of using a thermosetting resin or adding a sublimation substance to prevent deformation may be considered, but in that case, the fluidity of the kneaded product may deteriorate, or part of the runner or sprue may be regenerated. The problem is that it becomes impossible. Further, in this case, there is a problem that blisters and cracks occur in the injection molded product due to rapid decomposition and evaporation of the organic binder at the initial stage of degreasing.

Therefore, if a part of the organic binder is eluted and removed using a solvent at a low temperature below the deformation temperature using the method (b),
Deformation does not occur even when heated afterwards, and the removed organic binder becomes a channel, making it easier for the decomposition and evaporation of the remaining organic binder to escape, making it difficult for blisters and cracks to occur. Also, there is no need to add thermally unstable components.
Since it is small, it is also possible to regenerate part of the runner and part of the sprue.

However, in method (b), it is necessary to use an organic solvent to elute the general organic binder used in the conventional powder injection molding method, but organic solvents are expensive and May be dangerous depending on handling.

Another option is to elute only the plasticizer and lubricant and then heat and degrease, but in that case too, increasing the amount of plasticizer or lubricant may cause deterioration in the strength of the molded product or bleed during injection molding. Because of this, the amount added cannot be increased, and it is still insufficient to prevent deformation and blistering during heat degreasing.

In other words, polyethylene oxide not only has excellent injection moldability and good compatibility with other water-soluble polymers, but also has excellent compatibility with water-insoluble thermoplastic polymers such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. This is because it has good compatibility with coalescence, etc., and also has good thermal decomposition properties. The above-mentioned water-insoluble thermoplastic organic polymers include ``dyadic polystyrene, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, etc.'' A plastic polymer is used.

Next, this injection molded body is subjected to a degreasing treatment to obtain a degreased body. In the degreasing treatment, the injection molded article is first brought into contact with water (including room temperature water and heated water; the same applies hereinafter), thereby eluting the water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer. Here, as a method of contacting the injection molded article with water, treatment by immersing the injection molded article in water is preferred from the viewpoint of workability and shortening of elution time.

Thereafter, it is heated and degreased in a heating furnace to remove remaining organic binders such as thermoplastic organic polymers that are insoluble in water.

[Function-1] According to the method of the present invention, an organic binder containing at least one water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer and at least one water-insoluble thermoplastic organic polymer is used, and the degreasing treatment is performed. Since the water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer is eluted by bringing the injection molded body into contact with water, the molded body is prevented from cracking due to swelling of the thermoplastic organic polymer during elution. In addition, by eluting and removing the water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, the amount of organic binder contained in the injection molded product is sufficiently reduced, which prevents the molded product from softening and deforming when the remaining organic binder is removed by heating. In addition, the occurrence of blisters and cracks caused by the spreading effect of the eluted organic polymer is prevented.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained hereinafter, the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention comprises at least one water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer as an organic binder and at least one water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer. Using an organic binder containing a plastic organic polymer, the injection molded article is brought into contact with water as the degreasing treatment to elute the water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer,
Since the remaining organic binder is removed by heating in a heating furnace, it is possible to prevent cracking of the molded product due to swelling of the thermoplastic polymer during elution, and also to elute the water-soluble thermoplastic polymer.・Because the organic binder contained in the injection molded product is sufficiently reduced by removing it, it is possible to prevent the molded product from softening and deforming when the remaining organic binder is removed by heating under normal pressure or reduced pressure. can. Furthermore, since the formation of blisters and cracks due to the effect of leaching organic polymers is prevented, degreasing can be done in a short time by using methods such as rapid heating or heating in a reduced pressure atmosphere. be able to.
