Debinding

Focus of work
 

• Debinding and pyrolysis of nitrides, carbides, silicides, borides, oxides and composites in suitable furnaces and under adjusted furnace atmospheres
• Upscaling of debinding processes under consideration of thermophysical data and parameters
• Design of debinding processes with respect to standards and norms (for example TA Luft, BetrSichV, EN1539)

 

Services offered

 

• Research and technological services for binder release of ceramic and powder metallurgical components as a single process or in combination with a directly following prefiring and sintering process
• Development and implementation of catalytic and solvent debinding processes as well as thermal post debinding
• Technology development for debinding and prefiring including mechanical machining and sintering
• Process design, upscaling and optimization of prototypes, small-series and batch production
• Adjustment and optimization for different furnaces and processes
• Consultation for design and quality assurance of debinding processess
