摘要
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) could replace injection molding as the shaping step in a process similar to powder injection molding (PIM). Herein after shaping by using a highly-tilled polymer the part is debound and sintered to obtain a solid part of metal or ceramic. New feedstock materials have been developed that can be printed using conventional FFF equipment. And after debinding and sintering stainless steel parts can be obtained. However, there are many parameters that can affect the performance of the FFF feedstock materials. One important parameter is the particle size distribution of the tiller particles. In this paper, feedstocks containing 316L steel powder with different particle size distributions were characterized in terms of viscosity and mechanical properties, and tested regarding the printability using a conventional FFF machine. It has been observed that the particle size significantly affects the properties of feedstock materials and thus their ability to be printed.
