In this study, the effects of process parameters on the viscosity of the slurry and the dry green strength were investigated. The results show that gas atomization （GA） powder is more suitable for gelcasting compared with water atomization （WA） powder. The maximum solid loading is 55vo1% for ball-milled slurry with GA powders. And the optimum amounts of monomers （acrylamide （AM）＋methylenebisacrylamide （MBAM）; the mass ratio, 30：1） and initiator in the AM system are 1.8% （based on the weight of metal powder） and 0.8%-1.4% （based on the weight of monomers）, respectively, at which, the maximum green strength obtained is 33.7 MPa. The mechanical properties of the sintered specimen are as follows： ultimate tensile strength, 493 MPa; yield strength, 162 MPa; and HRB, 72.展开更多

This technique involves extruding the metal or ceramic material in solid powder form mixed with a binder (i.e., an expendable viscous fluid), which is removed from the part after 3D printing. These technologies rely on the large design freedom allowed and the cost efficiency advantage over alternative metal additive manufacturing processes that are based on high energy beams, such as laser or electron beams. The EAM of metals and ceramics is not yet widespread, but published scientific and technical literature on it is rapidly growing. However, this literature is still less extensive than that on the fused deposition modeling (FDM) of plastics or the selective laser melting (SLM) of metals. This paper aims at filling this gap. FDM and powder injection molding are identified as preceding or enabling technologies for EAM. This paper systematically reviews all aspects of the feedstock EAM processes used for production of complex-shaped parts. The unique characteristics and advantages of these processes are also discussed with respect to materials and process steps. In addition, the key process parameters are explained to illustrate the suitability of the EAM process for diverse application domains.展开更多
