Metal injection molding (MIM) is an innovative metal forming technology that combines the material and design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength and integrity of machined, pressed or otherwise manufactured small, complex, metal parts.
The process involves mixing fine metal powders with polymer binders which allow the metal to be injected into a mold. The binders are then removed by thermal processes and the resultant metal part is then sintered at a controlled temperatures profile to bind the particles but not melt the metal. The products of metal injection molding are up to 99% as dense as wrought metal and used in a broad range of applications.
Remarks: Other kinds of substrate material can be developed upon request.
