Cable connecting induction module with copper pipe gets hot (right cable only). Bad connection, need something better
2021-09-09 Successful sintering
- 1350 °C target temperature
- low vacuum at 4*10⁻² mbar, no process gas
- PolyMIM 17-4PH feedstock, 3D Print (Bottle opener), debindered as per datasheet
- Part covered in sand-blasting media
- Heating cycle
- T+0 min: Start: 25°C, heated up to 600 °C and held, 4*10⁻² mbar
- T+60 min: heated up to 1350 °C, vacuum unchanged
- T+120 min: Switched heating off
- T+150 min: Switched vacuum pump off and opened chamber at ~200 °C
Results:
Part covered in sand blasting media, small but visible cracks (part not dried well, or heated too quickly?).
Wirewheeling revealed solid metal part with high detail conservation.
