Purpose: The aim of this research is presented ceramic injection moulding process of alumina parts. Firstly alumina parts was performed by using binder system. The binder consisted of a mixture of a polypropylene (PP), paraffin wax (PW) and stearic acid (SA). Design/methodology/approach: The volume fractions of powder in the feedstocks were changed from 40-50%vol and the volume of polypropylene were changed from 20-34%vol The concentrations of SA were kept at 6%vol. Secondly the feedstock was heated to melt the binder and injected into a mould. Thirdly the polymeric and wax binder was debinding by using solvent and thermal debinding. The thermal cycle was performed based on the results of the thermogravimetric analysis. Previously samples were sintered in one cycle with debinding of the binder during 23 h at 1400°C using heating rates of 0.5°C/min. Findings: Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to determine decomposition temperatures of polypropylene, paraffin and stearic acid. Morphology of alumina powder by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was disclosed. Originality/value: The paper presents ceramic injection moulding process of alumina parts for selected samples.
