    Debinding

    Removal, by heat treatment or solvent action, of the binder present in a part previously obtained by shaping a mixture of metal or ceramic powder and polymer binder.

    Solvatation; solvanting

    Physico-chemical phenomenon observed when a chemical compound dissolves in a solvent.

    Sintering

    Thermal cycle consisting of heating the compacted part for a certain period of time to a temperature below the melting point. The rise in temperature causes the powder particles to weld together, diffusing the alloying elements through a solid-state diffusion mechanism.

    Masterbatch; feedstock

    A mixture of powder, organic binders and surfactants, suitable for use in an injection molding machine to manufacture a part.
