What are the advantages and applications of metal injection molding?

Metal injection molding (MIM), sometimes called powder injection molding (PIM), is a pre-metal forming technology that uses injection molding equipment to manufacture simple and complex metal parts with tight tolerance. Although MIM can be used in a wide range of components, good applications usually have a small overall size and weight less than 100g. This process can be replaced by investing in metal forming technologies such as casting and machining. The advantages of metal injection molding include: high complex shape ability;

More efficient use of materials and processes;

Less material waste;

Repeatability;

Excellent mechanical properties;

Reduce the overall product cost;

Tailored solutions with unique materials;

A fully assembled solution in which metal injection molding materials can be brazed/bonded to various components;

Jiangsu Haoyi Metal Technology Co., Ltd. is a global company providing metal powder injection molding. All walks of life rely on us to produce a wide range of different alloy shapes and complexities.

Metal injection molding attributes:

MIM is a repeatable process for making complex components from superalloys.

MIM parts are nearly completely dense, which provides excellent mechanical, magnetic, corrosion and airtight sealing performance, and allows secondary operations such as electroplating, heat treatment, and easy processing.

The shrinkage from molded parts to sintered parts is high (14-18%), but isotropic and controllable.

Complex shapes are realized through processing technology in the plastic injection molding industry. High volume is achieved through multi-cavity molds.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) materials and works include all standard alloys and application-specific alloy requirements. As part of our metal injection molding (MIM) process, we provide low-cost prototypes, an experienced process and metallurgical team, and tools needed from other MIM manufacturers. We have registered and supported JIT and Kanban programs through ISO 9001:2008.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Applications:

Metal injection molding electronic parts, metal powder compression molding hydraulic equipment parts and other metal injection molding parts.
