METAL INJECTION MOULDING (MIM)
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) ia a technology that combines the strengths of conventional powder metallurgy and palstic injection molding.
It is the most cost-effective process in making small parts with complicated shapes.
The process starts with premixing and kneading fine metal powders and thermoplastic binders.
The kneaded feedstock is then granulated and fed into injection molding machines.
Under pressure and heat, the feedstock flows into the the mold cavity, forming the desired shapes.
After being removed from the mold, the molded parts go through a debinding process to remove the binders.
The debound parts are then sintered to a density greater than 95%.
