Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of a method for making molybdenum parts using metal injection molding are disclosed. In general, molybdenum powder is mixed or blended with a binder to form a feedstock, which is injection molded to form a green-state part. The green-state part is then sintered, such as by heating the part in a furnace for a predetermined period of time to effect consolidation and densification of the part. Desirably, the green-state part can be debound to remove at least a portion of the binder prior to sintering. In exemplary embodiments, sintering produces the final molybdenum article, and therefore the process does not require, but optionally may include, further processing of the sintered part, such as machining, cold-working, and/or hot-working.
