Abstract
The effects of elemental powder characteristics, binder content and its composition, as well as some additives on pressure change and drainage phenomenon of pastes during extrusion have been mainly investigated. The pastes consisted of a powder, zirconia or stainless steel, and a water-based binder, an aqueous solution of water-soluble polymer (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose). The drainage phenomenon has been found in extrusion of the stainless steel pastes with lower binder contents, while the zirconia pastes show a small probability of drainage in the range of the binder contents used in this investigation. It is shown that broadening particle size distribution by mixing powders with different average particle sizes has a significant effect on decreasing extrusion pressure and restraining occurrence of the drainage phenomenon, thus improving the extrudability of pastes. It is effective to increase the binder content in pastes, raise the mixing fraction of HPMC in binder and add plasticizer like glycerol, in order to reduce occurrence of the drainage phenomenon during extrusion of the stainless steel pastes.
