Abstract

In this study, a new method for preparing homogeneous feedstocks for injection moulding of ZrO2 ceramics was developed and explained in detail. Mixture homogeneity on a large scale was assessed by measuring green density after moulding and weight loss after partial debinding for several tube samples from different batches. The grain structure of a sintered specimen was examined using SEM for the packing of ceramic particles.
