Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop injection technology for ceramic items in this country. The use of ceramic techniques is limited, very often, by inherent difficulties in the traditional processes of molding, by the cost of achieving the size tolerances required and the production of complex geometric molds. The process of adaptation of the ceramics by means of injection reduces these limitations substantially, making it possible to use ceramic components in complex shapes, with narrow size tolerances and delicate surface finishing at a cost acceptable to the consumer market. In Brazil, this technique of molding ceramics is not used because nobody has mastered the technology. All the ceramic components with these features are imported. (AU)
