dc.description.abstract Powder loading is one of the most critical factors in metal injection moulding (MIM) technology. It largely determines the success or failure of the subsequent MIM processes. A gas-atomized Ti6Al4V powder was investigated to determine an optimum powder loading. Five different kinds of powder loadings – 55, 60, 65, 68 and 70 vol.% – were selected based on tap density calculations. Feedstocks were prepared using a wax-based CSIR binder. Powder loading investigations were performed by means of rheological studies. All the feedstocks followed a pseudo-plastic behaviour, flow index behaviour n < 1. A 65 vol.% powder loading demonstrated the best rheological properties i.e. smallest flow index behaviour (n) and moderate activation energy (E). en_US
