Metal powder injection molding technology compared with traditional process, has the charicteristics of high precision
and uniform organization, excellent performance, low production cost etc. Its products are widely used in electronic and
information engineering, biology, medical equipment, office equipment, automobile, machinery, hardware, sports
equipment, watch industry, weapons, aerospace industry, etc. Therefore, it is generally believed that the development of
the technology will lead to a revolution of parts forming technology and machining technology , has been hailed as “the
most popular parts forming technology” and “the forming technology of the 21st century”.
Metal powder injection molding MIM technology USES the micron grade powder, can accelerate the sintering shrinkage,
helps to increase mechanical properties of the materials, prolong the fatigue life of materials, and can improve the
resistance to stress corrosion resistance, and magnetic performance. Global industrial powder injection molding currently
scale is still small, but it was little affected in the economic crisis, and is rising steadily. In Europe, its main application
fields are cars, North America, mainly in the medical field, Asia is mainly communication products.
At present, China in terms of the consumption of iron powder and copper powder has surpassed Japan, the first in Asia.
The main application field for the future of powder metallurgy parts is still automobile, from a technical perspective, the
high density of powder metallurgy parts, a new powder metallurgy materials, high efficiency and high precision of
powder metallurgy equipment is the trend of the future development of powder metallurgy industry.
The future development of powder injection molding are mainly in the material and design, the use of the advantages of
this technology, and to help customers improve product design and reduce the cost, so as to expand the application field of
powder injection molding.
