In this case, the method used to extract the organic binder from the injection molded body is a thermal decomposition method in which the organic binder forming a part of the molded body is decomposed or evaporated to be extracted and removed from the molded body, Alternatively, it is general to adopt a dissolution method in which an organic solvent is brought into contact with the injection molded body to elute and remove the organic binder from the molded body.

However, as a method adopted for extracting the organic binder from the injection-molded article, there is a former thermal decomposition method in which the organic binder constituting a part of the article is decomposed or evaporated to be extracted and removed from the article. When taking, if decomposition or evaporation phenomenon due to heating of the organic binder is generated in a short time, unnecessary and non-uniform pressure is often applied to the inside of the injection-molded body, and this tends to cause defects in the product. As a result, it was necessary to lengthen the processing time for extracting the organic binder from the injection molded body.

In particular, when the particle size of the raw material powder is small and the specific surface area is large, the amount of the organic binder constituting the kneaded product is limited to the limit in order to stabilize the injection fluidity of the kneaded product during the injection molding operation. Need to increase
As a result, it was necessary to provide a heating process in multiple stages when extracting and removing the organic binder from the injection-molded body, and it was necessary that the debinding treatment time was longer than 24 hours.

Further, as a method adopted for extracting the organic binder from the injection-molded product, a thermal decomposition method of decomposing or evaporating the organic binder constituting a part of the molded product to extract and remove it from the molded product is adopted. , A method of adding a sublimable substance to a part of the organic binder is disclosed, but in this case, the sublimable substance may evaporate during the molding process of the product, which may cause environmental pollution. However, the surface properties of the molded body tend to be adversely affected, and the advent of a means for solving the problem has been earnestly desired.

Next, in the case of adopting a dissolution method in which an organic solvent is brought into contact with the injection molded product to elute and remove the organic binder from the molded product, a thermoplastic polymer portion soluble in the organic solvent is eluted in the organic solvent. In the injection molded product, the part occupied by the organic binder extracted from the system by the organic solvent in the injection molded product acts as a single path, so that the organic binder generated by the heat treatment is It is said that the decomposition and evaporation phenomena proceed smoothly, and they are likely to occur during the removal process of the organic binder, and the phenomena of cracking and swelling on the outer surface of the product are greatly suppressed.

As described above, some of the disclosed methods can be counted as preferable methods for preventing defects on the outer surface of the product. Usually, an injection molded article is brought into contact with an organic solvent to obtain a molded article. When using a dissolution method that elutes and removes more organic binder, a large amount of liquid binder such as mineral oil, fatty acid oil, natural oil is used as the organic binder, so a kneaded product using this organic binder is injected. Before molding, the important organic binder often exudes from the kneaded product to the outside of the system, and as a result, when injection molding processing is performed, the product sticks to the mold and the product separates. In addition to deteriorating moldability, it was difficult to store and reuse the kneaded material for injection molding.

Further, as the organic binder used in the production of the kneaded material for injection molding, a thermoplastic resin soluble in an organic solvent and a thermoplastic resin insoluble in the organic solvent may be used in combination. In this case, there is usually a large numerical difference between the average molecular weights of the thermoplastic resins used, and as a result, the kneaded product is shortened at the time of manufacturing the kneaded product for injection molding. It is extremely difficult to make it uniform over time, and due to the partial non-uniformity of the composition of the injection molded product, the injection molded product is swollen, surface depressed, and cracked during the extraction and removal process of the organic binder. It is easy to cause defects such as.

In this case, although water is used for extraction and removal of the binder, it has an advantage that it is cheaper and safer than the use of an organic solvent, but the injection-molded article is compared with the case of using an organic solvent. The penetration rate is poor, and since the evaporation rate is slow in the heat treatment after it has penetrated into the inside of the injection-molded product, it has the drawback that the processing time required for the binder removal process is prolonged for a long time. When extracting and removing the binder that has penetrated inside,
A slight fluctuation of the heating temperature may lead to the phenomenon of cracking or swelling on the surface of the injection-molded body, and when the metal used as the raw material powder is an iron system or a copper system that corrodes by reacting with water, Since there is a drawback that it cannot be used inevitably, it was desired to solve the problem early.

According to the present invention, the compatibility between different thermoplastic polymers added as a binder is maintained at a high level to make the composition of the kneaded product formed more uniform, and the debindering treatment is carried out in a short time. Then, the subsequent steps are carried out, and a thermoplastic polymer which is insoluble in the organic solvent used for maintaining the shape of the injection-molded article and a kneaded product in the injection-molding process are used by the conventional method. When a conventional binder composed only of a thermoplastic polymer that is soluble in an organic solvent that is used to maintain the fluidity of is used to form a kneaded product Since the average molecular weight and the distribution state of the molecular weight are extremely different between different types of thermoplastic resins, the compatibility between the two is not sufficient, resulting in uneven composition There is no choice but to provide molded products, and in the process of removing the organic binder from the injection molded product by using an organic solvent and heat treatment, defects such as swelling, depression, and cracks often occur on the product surface. Is to prevent this.

The cracks and swelling on the surface of the product are caused by the fact that when the injection-molded article is heated, it is soluble in the organic solvent contained by the thermoplastic polymer which is insoluble in the organic solvent. It is generated by the rapid gasification of a certain thermoplastic polymer. Similarly, it is the portion where the thermoplastic polymer that is soluble in the organic solvent is biased that causes depressions and shape changes on the surface of the product. When the injection molded body is heated after debinding with the organic solvent as it is and the thermoplastic polymer that is insoluble in the organic solvent that should be the skeleton of the molded body does not exist, is injected. It is considered to be generated in a molded body and, as a result, cause a depression phenomenon on the product surface.
