Extrusion Characteristics of Composite Powders of Stainless Steel and Zirconia

The extrustioncharacteristics of composite powders of stainless steel and zirconiahave been researched experimentally, and the upper extruded composition of the composite powders being discussed. Hydroxy-propyl methyl-cellulose (HPMC) and water was used as the binder for the extrusion. The results show that the extrudable upper compositionincreases with increasing the stainless steel powder content in composite powder, and that the reasonable content of HPMC in the binder being 10%.
