Metal injection molding (MIM) is a typical cross-disciplinary product that combines two completely different processing technologies (plastic injection molding and powder metallurgy).
Metal Injection Molding(MIM) is an advanced metal work process which combines the advantages of thermoplastic injection molding and powder metallurgy.
Many high-performing products are made by MIM technology, products such as electronics, consumer items, auto parts, medical equipments, military, aerospace, mobie phones, electronic radiators, sealed packages, junction boxes, industrial tools, fiber optics connectors, fluid spray systems, sports equipments, disks, automobile fuel supply and ignition systems, dental instrumentations and strengthen tools, pharmaceutical equipments, hand-held power tools, pumps, surgical devices, defense systems etc.

Density and strength of MIM products
The density of a typical MIM is theoretically higher than 98%. Specific density characteristics depend on the choice of material, but it is very close to precision materials.
We have been known as "the hottest parts forming technology today" and "21st century forming technology".
Powder metallurgy than traditional machining
Wide applicability
Can do high strength, high toughness, high hardness,
high temperature resistance,Electrical properties,
low thermal expansion and other materials; wide application
fieldsAutomotive, consumer electronics, medical equipment,
communications, etc.
MIM Advantage:
1st: full freedom of design
MIM technology can build more complex parts compared to other metal forming methods. Basically, all structures are achievable by injection molds can be applied to MIM.
2nd: more choices of material
Most of metal materials are functional in MIM, however, from economic perspective, applied materials mainly covers the iron-based, nickel, copper, titanium metal or alloy.
3rd: excellent physical and chemical properties
MIM physicochemical performance is also terrific because sintering density is highly close to the theoretical. For example, mechanical strength is significantly beyond traditional powder metallurgy.
4th: delicate appearance
The surface roughness of MIM sintering green parts (Ra) can achieve 1μm. It can be obtained dazzling appearance by various surface treatments.
5th: excellent dimensional accuracy
Generally, MIM can achieve accuracy tolerances ±0.5%. It can obtain an even higher dimensional accuracy once MIM works with other processing methods.
6th: powerful and flexible production capacity
MIM can be adjusted flexibly and it can also rapidly improve the yield, which varies from hundreds a day to hundreds of thousands a day.
Seventh advantage: environmental friendly philosophy
The Utility of raw material used in MIM is close to 100%, which is a type of net forming technology, and can effectively avoid the waste of materials.
