Metal Injection Molding Titanium Alloy Watch Frame MIM Parts

Titanium metal has very good advantages as a watch material, such as:

1. Titanium watches are quite comfortable to wear because they are surprisingly light;

2. Titanium is hypoallergenic, it does not contain nickel, and is very comfortable to wear even when the skin sweats;

3. Because titanium is harder than steel, titanium watches are more durable;

4. The corrosion resistance makes titanium particularly suitable for diving watches;

5. Titanium is very environmentally friendly, it comes from the earth and is recyclable.

Can titanium alloy be used as the movement material of mechanical watches? Unfortunately, it is not possible. The main advantages of titanium alloy compared with steel are low density and strong corrosion resistance, but its absolute hardness and strength are not as good as steel, and its processability is very poor. It is not suitable for making internal parts of watches, but it still has its advantages for making watch cases. The problem is that it has low brightness and is easy to scratch, so it needs to be protected by coating (plating). Many small holes on the deck are very small, and irregular cutting requires higher tools. If the strength of the splint is high, the processing difficulty will be higher. In addition, the watch movement does not have high requirements for the hardness of the splint material. At the same time, the wear resistance is provided by gem bearings. Of course, some small parts are made of high-strength materials, but small parts are easily processed by rules. Therefore, copper alloy is more suitable for the plywood material. Although copper will rust and is not wear-resistant, it is cheap and easy to cut, and can be solved in a relatively "low-cost" way through plating, lubricating oil, ruby bearings, steel parts and other components.

Qinhuangdao Zhongwei Precision Mechanical Parts Co., Ltd. established a titanium alloy laboratory with the powder metallurgy research group of the University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2005. It took 5 years to achieve mass production in 2010. So far, it has been used in medical, military, UAV, and intelligent industries. Wearable, 3C electronics and other industries produce more than 20 million pieces of titanium alloy metal injection molded parts. We have 14 years of production experience in the titanium alloy field so far, and can solve product design, mold making, product manufacturing, CNC processing for customers, Post-processing and other one-stop solution services, we are willing to work with more business partners to achieve win-win products!
