AB  - In this study, we focus on making a double-sided metal plate with an internal 
      structure, such as honeycomb. The stainless steel powder was used in the metal 
      injection molding (MIM) process. The preliminary studies were carried out for the 
      measurement of the viscosity of the stainless steel feedstock and for the 
      prediction of the filling behavior through Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) 
      simulation. PE (high density polyethylene (HDPE) and low density polyethylene 
      (LDPE)) and polypropylene (PP) resins were used to make the sacrificed insert 
      with a honeycomb structure using a plastic injection molding process. 
      Additionally, these sacrificed insert parts were inserted in the metal injection 
      mold, and the metal injection molding process was carried out to build a green 
      part with rectangular shape. Subsequently, debinding and sintering processes were 
      adopted to remove the sacrificed polymer insert. The insert had a suitable 
      rigidity that was able to endure the filling pressure. The core shift analysis 
      was conducted to predict the deformation of the insert part. The 17-4PH feedstock 
      with a low melting temperature was applied. The glass transition temperature of 
      the sacrificed polymer insert would be of a high grade, and this insert should be 
      maintained during the MIM process. Through these processes, a square metal plate 
      with a honeycomb structure was made.
