PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE METAL POWDER SLIP CASTING PROCESS. PART I
It has been shown that slip casting of stainless steel powder is a process which results in a highly dense sintered material. The slip casting process is described in detail and the raw materials, such as metal powders, deflocculants, etc., are discussed. It has been observed that the viscosity of the slip is not of prime importance in the process, but rather its pH value. The effect of the variables in the process on the density of the material in various stages of the process has been investigated. Careful selection of raw materials and the processing steps permit fabrication of slip castings of high green'' strength which can be easily handled without any danger of breakage even before sintering. Photomicrographs show the uniformity of grain structure of slip cast stainless steel. (auth)
