Powder metallurgy injection molding technology is a collection of plastic molding technology, polymer chemistry, metal
material science and powder metallurgy technology. By injection molding and sintering to manufacture structural parts with
high density, high precision, 3D complex shape rapidly, PIM can rapidly and accurately materialize the ideas of design into
products with a certain structure, function characteristics. And can run mass production directly, is a new innovation for
technology of manufacturing industry.
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, new powder metallurgy materials, high efficiency and high precision powder
metallurgy equipment is the development trend in the future.
The scale of global powder injection molding is still small, At present in China especially in the southern area metal
injection molding is mainly used in consumer electronics and communications industry. Is hardly affected by the economic
crisis , on the contrary benifits from the domestic smartphone who adopted metal parts in large quantity. Metal injection
molding industry has risen steadily. In Europe, its main application field is car, North America, mainly in the medical
field, Asia is mainly communication products. The future development of powder injection molding are mainly in the
materials and design. Using the advantage of the PIM, to help customers to improve product design and reduce the cost,
so as to expand the application field of powder injection molding.
