Brief Introduction:
The Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process is well suited for
the production of relatively small complex shaped metal components
with high strength requirements. The process combines the
shape making capability of plastic injection molding with
the material flexibility of powder metallurgy. It has been
a speed well-developed manufacture since last ten years in
advanced countries such as American, Japan. Its products can
be applied in high-precision industries or high-attached value
machine tools. The more complex the part is, the better for
the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process. Besides, MIM can
significantly reduce time and cost every step of the way versus
investment cast, die casting and conventional press and sinter.
Therefore, it is growing and growing fast now.
