Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a feedstock of particulate material for use in formation of articles therefrom, the feedstock including a homogeneous combination of large particles, small particles and a binder. The large particles comprise less than about 60% by volume of the feedstock and are defined as particles having a diameter greater than their diffusion length. The fine particles and binder combined comprise more than about 40% by volume of the feedstock, the fine particles being defined as particles having a diameter less than their diffusion length.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method of rapidly removing binder from a "green" body composed of fine metal, cermet or ceramic particles and a carbon-containing binder wherein the binder removal step is performed in a water saturated atmosphere to provide chemical reaction with elemental carbon, the reaction products being removed from the system.
