Metal powder injection molding technology compared with traditional process, has high precision and uniform
organization, excellent performance and low production cost. 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 in the international that the development of
the technology will lead to a revolution of parts forming and machining technology, is known 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 powder injection molding scale currently is
still small, but it is 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’s consumption of iron powder and copper powder has surpassed Japan, is the first in Asia. The main
application field for the future of powder metallurgy parts is in the field of automobile. From a technical perspective, the
high density of powder metallurgy parts, a new powder metallurgy materials, high efficiency and high precision powder
metallurgy equipment is powder metallurgy industry development trend in the future.
