Abstract
Currently for the design of micro components often no reliable material data is available. Therefore in the German Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 499 [1] metallic and ceramic micro specimen that are manufactured by different micro moulding techniques as micro casting, slip casting or micro powder injection moulding are investigated with respect to their microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties. As metal was investigated a AuAgCu-alloy named Stabilor G and as ceramic was investigated ZrO2. Additionally the wear behaviour of mould inserts made of different materials as X38CrMoV5–1, Ni and Cu63Zn37 and the modifications of near surface microstructures due to micro milling in X38CrMoV5–1 in different heat treatment states are presented.
