We should wash the parts prior to sintering but not for the removal of the binder. We need to convert the binder into a form that will be suitable for the sintering process

We should wash the parts to remove the binder

Start thinking about the following problem: the sintering process does not correspond to the shaping process details.

The vacuum furnace is used for sintering parts made of metal powder. To keep the shape of the parts, a binder is used. The main problem is that the vacuum furnace becomes dirty and needs a very long cleaning. 
Regular washing was not successful. We investigated the process and found that washing should be dedicated to the conversion of the material into a form that results in the formation of gases having low temperature of the condensation

Improve cleaning of vacuum oven

The contaminant is deposited within the oven during the process

Gas separates from the parts that are sintered within the oven

The binder remains within the parts before the sintering

The binder is added into the parts to keep the shape

To heat the parts of the oven to avoid a condensation of the binder

Use the binder that will not be condensed within the oven

Wash or somehow remove the binder from the parts

Wash the binder out with a special solvent
