Injection moulding of SiCw/Al2O3 composites

    Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

    Abstract

    This investigation is a feasibility study of the injection moulding of alumina matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide whiskers. The flow properties of the ceramic/polymer blend with various polymeric binder systems were studied. The dispersion of the silicon carbide whiskers in the ceramic/polymer blend from two mixing routes were compared. The ceramic weight composition and whisker length degradation of the ceramic injection mouldings with various whisker content were explored. As silicon carbide whisker may cause wearing on the processing equipment, an investigation on the samples' iron content was also carried out.
