Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing polyarylene ether beads from a polyarylene ether solution, having the steps of i) separating the polyarylene ether solution in a separating device which is vibrated at a frequency ranging from 10 to 1400 Hz, thereby obtaining drops, and ii) transporting the drops into a precipitation bath, thereby forming polyarylene ether beads in the precipitation bath. The precipitation bath (A) contains at least one aprotic solvent (component (1)) and at least one protic solvent (component (2)), (B) has a temperature of 0 °C to T c , the critical temperature T c in [°C] being determined by the numerical equation T c = (77 - c)/0.58, in which c is the concentration of the component (1) in the precipitation bath in [wt.%], and (C) has the component (1) in concentrations of 5 wt.% to c c , the critical concentration c c in [wt.%] being determined by the numerical equation c c = 77 - 0.58 * T, in which T is the temperature in the precipitation bath in [°C], wherein the wt.% in each case is based on the sum of the wt.% of the component (1) and the component (2) in the precipitation bath.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a turbine wheel for an exhaust gas turbocharger by means of metal injection molding, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a feedstock containing a metal powder and a binder material, (b) providing a tool, which comprises a negative mold of the turbine wheel to be produced, for metal injection molding of the turbine wheel, (c) introducing a rotationally symmetrical core composed of the binder material into the negative mold of the tool provided in method step (b) and orienting the core so that the core is oriented symmetrically to the rotational axis of the turbine wheel to be produced, (d) producing a green body by means of metal injection molding of the feedstock provided in method step (a) around the core, (e) performing a binder removal step to remove the binder from the green body to obtain a molded body in the form of the turbine wheel, and (f) sintering the molded body.
