Abstract
A method for screening a large design space of compositions with possible application as binders in cermet and powder metallurgy applications allows rapid elimination of large portions of the design space from contention so that resource intensive procedures, such as computationally intensive modeling techniques and experimental testing, can be focused on potential binder compositions with a high likelihood of being used successfully. The method relies on parameters such as surface tension, contact angle, viscosity, a special capillary metric that is used to characterize capillary behavior, and melting point, which are relatively easy to calculate or determine, to screen out large portions of the design space. Exemplary binder compositions are obtained using the method.
