Metal Injection Molding Powders
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is an advanced manufacturing technology that combines plastic injection molding and powder metallurgy. It produces small, complex, high-precision metal components with high efficiency and low cost, widely used in electronics, automotive, medical and other industries where complex-shaped parts are difficult to be made with traditional forging or machining approaches.
Typical Properties
- Uniform chemical composition
- High purity and low oxygen content
- Controllable particle size distribution
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good sintered density
