Results for tag: "Metal Injection Molding"

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a manufacturing process that combines the advantages of plastic injection molding with the strength and durability of metal. It is used to produce complex, intricate parts with tight tolerances and high strength-to-weight ratios. The process involves mixing metal powder with a thermoplastic binder, forming the mixture into a feedstock, and then injecting it into a mold. The feedstock is then heated and cooled, allowing the binder to be removed and the metal to solidify. The result is a high-precision, net-shape part with excellent mechanical properties. MIM is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, medical, aerospace, and consumer products. It is particularly well-suited for producing small, complex parts with tight tolerances and intricate geometries. Companies in the Metal Injection Molding market include Höganäs AB, BASF SE, GKN Sinter Metals, and Carpenter Technology Corporation. Show Less Read more
