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, when a dissolution method is employed in which an organic solvent is brought into contact with an injection molded body to elute and remove the organic binder from the molded body, a thermoplastic polymer portion composed of a molecular weight portion soluble in the organic solvent is used. From the point of elution into the organic solvent, the part of the injection-molded body occupied by the organic binder extracted by the organic solvent out of the system acts as a single path, so heat treatment It is said that the decomposition and evaporation phenomenon of the organic binder that occurs due to this smoothly progresses, and it is said that it easily occurs during the removal process of the organic binder, and it greatly suppresses the crack phenomenon and the swelling phenomenon of the outer surface of the product. ing.

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 liquid soluble in the organic solvent is added as a binder because the injection molding is carried out when the injection molded body is brought into contact with the organic solvent to extract and remove the binder out of the system. It is for facilitating the penetration of the organic solvent into the inside of the molded body, and for eliminating the risk of expansion or cracking of the injection molded body due to the permeation action of the organic solvent. In addition to homogenizing its composition, the binder removal treatment is also carried out in a short time, and the subsequent steps are advanced, and it is an organic material used to maintain the shape of the injection-molded article by the conventional method. Conventional binder composed only of a thermoplastic polymer that is insoluble in a system solvent and a thermoplastic polymer that is soluble in an organic solvent that is used to maintain the fluidity of the kneaded product during the injection molding process Profit When it is in time for the thermoplastic resin of the added heterologous to form a kneaded product, the fact that distribution of average molecular weight and molecular weight are different extremely,
In the state where the compatibility between the two is not sufficiently obtained, it is unavoidable to provide an injection-molded product having a non-uniform composition as a result. This is to prevent the occurrence of defects such as swelling, depression, and cracks on the surface of the product in the removal process.

In the present invention, the content of the liquid soluble in the organic solvent is defined as 0.1 to 5.0% by weight.
If the content of the liquid that is soluble in the organic solvent is less than 0.1% by weight, it is not possible to obtain the original product having good surface properties of the injection-molded product, and conversely, the organic solvent. When the content of the liquid soluble in is more than 5.0% by weight,
This is because the strength of the injection-molded product becomes poor and it becomes impossible to obtain a predetermined injection-molded product.

It should be noted that the reason why cracks and swelling occur on the surface of the product is 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.
