Typical MIM sintering process<br />
After debinding:<br />
Water soluble debinding Catalytic debinding<br />
Backbone<br />
Pores<br />
The debinding process creates an open-porosity throughout the molding with<br />
some residual binder (waxes etc.) left.<br />
The residual binder is removed from the structure during the thermal debinding<br />
process.
