Abstract
A method for fabricating injection molded ceramic shapes suitable for densification by sintering or hot isostatic pressing has been developed. The method is applicable to ceramic articles of large, complex cross sections, greater than one centimeter, which are generally prone to external cracking during binder removal. The method requires use of a controlled starting powder, and a novel binder removal process to obtain an externally crack-free article.
