The paper describes the preliminary results of the powder injection molding (PIM) experiments of producing cutting tools out of WC/Co homogenous powder mix. The injected material was a mix of 42vol% WC-6wt% Co and 58vol% wax based binder. The injected samples were immersed in solvent bath and debinded at room temperature for 2, 4, 5, 6 hours. After debinding the samples were sintered in vacuum, 10-2 Pa (10-4 mm Hg) at a temperature of 1350 °C for 40 min. The sintered tsamples had a contraction of 24%. The relative density, measured with Archimedes method, is 99%. No significant WC particle growth was observed after sintering. The measured hardness of the material is 1700[HV10/15]..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
