| description | Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of smart materials that have the unusual feature of remembering the initial shape after plastic deformation. SMAs differ from traditional elastic/plastic materials in because of reversible hysteresis thermos mechanical behavior. Copper (Cu) based shape memory alloys are the most promising in terms of practical application due to their inexpensive cost and high recovery force. Powder injection molding (PIM) is well known for the creation of complex components (micro parts) and Copper Aluminium Manganese (CuAlMn) materials are studied through this process. The rheological behavior of the feedstock needs to be determined to avoid any non-homogeneous mixture between powder and binder that may result in powder and binder separation during the injection molding process. This work focused on the rheological properties of CuAlMn with a binder system of polyethylene glycol (Peg), polymethyl methacrylate acrylic (Pmma) and stearic acid (Sa). The alloy composition used were 85wt% Cu, 12wt% Al and 3wt% Mn mixed with 73wt% Peg, 25wt% Pmma and 2wt% Sa. Based on such value, the powder loadings used in this work was 58wt% mixed with 73wt% Peg, 12wt% Pmma and 5wt% Sa. A capillary rheometer was employed for the rheological studies where the relationship between shear rate and viscosity was investigated. There were 3 variant temperatures (115℃, 125℃ and 135℃) and 4 loads (40N, 50N, 60N and 70N) applied for the rheology test. The obtained result shows that the overall shear rate and viscosity are within the PIM process recommended range and flow index is below 1. This shows pseudoplastic behavior of the feedstock. |
