At the relatively easy to process green part 2 unwanted sprue structures, edges or burrs can be mechanically removed mecha nically in Nachbearbei processing steps. Subsequent binder removal removes the organic binder and then compacts the component by sintering, where the component contains its final shape.
- the green part By producing the helical green part in an injection molding process, the green part can have a rectangular winding cross-section profile 2.1 and an angled Ver run 2.3, which is not achievable by winding.
- the present application relates inter alia to the following aspects:
- a process for producing metallic coils comprising the following steps:
- the mold mass contains a copper powder for the production of copper coils, preferably before high-purity copper coil for the production of highly conductive copper.
- Metallic coil according to one of the aspects 5 to 9, characterized in that it has a non-round winding cross-section profile (2.1).
- Metallic coil according to one of the aspects 5 to 10 characterized in that it has a variable winding cross-section profile (2.1).
