Abstract
A method for manufacturing thermally stressed engine components having a geometrically complex structure includes metal injection molding metal powder mixed with a binder to form green compacts of individual parts, which are debindered to form brown compact sections which are joined together to form a multi-part brown compact which are sintered in the assembled state. The brown compact sections have differing shrinkage properties in the sintering process, depending on the metal powder used, with a greater shrinking first brown compact section being automatically pressed against a second brown compact section during sintering. Connecting elements having positively engaging projections and recesses are provided at joining surfaces of the brown compact sections and have differing shrinkage such that during sintering of the assembled brown compact, the brown compact section with projections undergoes a greater shrinkage than the brown compact section with recesses.
