Advantages and Characteristics of Metal Injection Molding

Metal injection molding is an advanced manufacturing process that mixes metal powder with a binder and then injects it into the desired shape of metal parts. The following advantages and features are introduced:

1. High design freedom: It can form highly complex parts. Compared with other metal forming processes such as sheet metal stamping, powder forming, forging and machining, metal injection molding can form parts with highly complex geometric shapes. Generally speaking, metal injection molding can also complete the complex part structure that can be completed by plastic injection molding. Applying this feature, metal injection molding has the opportunity to merge multiple parts that were originally processed by other metal forming processes into one part, simplify product design, reduce the number of parts, and thus reduce the assembly cost of the product.

2. High material utilization rate: Metal injection molding is a near-net forming process. The shape of its parts is close to the final product form, and the material utilization rate is high. This is particularly important for the processing loss of precious metals.

3. Good part performance: Metal injection molding is a fluid molding process. The presence of adhesives ensures the uniform distribution of powders, thereby eliminating the uneven microstructure of the blank, and making the density of the sintered product reach the theoretical density of its material. High density can increase the strength of parts, enhance toughness, improve ductility and electrical and thermal conductivity, and improve magnetic properties.

4. High efficiency: Metal injection molding uses injection molding machines to mold green products, which greatly improves consumption efficiency and is suitable for mass production; at the same time, the consistency and repeatability of injection molded products are good, which provides a guarantee for mass and large-scale industrial production.
