摘要
Injection molding has important advantages over other methods for the production of advanced ceramic parts with complex shapes. In this work, low-pressure injection molding was used to produce helical ceramic springs using two different kinds of molds. The ceramic powders used were submicrometer-sized alumina and partially stabilized zirconia. Sintered alumina and zirconia springs were obtained free of defects, with densities from 96% to 99% of the theoretical value. In preliminary mechanical tests, these ceramic springs supported axial deformations up to 10% before failure.
