Description
How does MIM work?
MIM is the process which merges plastic injection molding and powdere metallurgy. It offers greater design free dom and a manufacturing capability of producing precise, complex parts in large quantities. Metal injection molding (MIM) is a manufacturing process in which a metal powder is mixed with a polymer binder to form a material that behaves like plastic. This feed is used for injection mold mesh and precision parts. The parts are then heat treated, the adhesive system removed, and finally sintered into high-density metal parts with mechanical properties comparable to the forged material.
