How Metal Injection Moulding works

Feedstock Preparation:

The MIM process begins by mixing metal powders with a polymer binder to form a mixture called ‘feedstock’.

Injection moulding:

Prepared feedstock is injected into a mould by an injection moulding machine, similar to the plastic injection moulding process.

Degreasing

After the green part is removed from the mould, the binder is gradually removed through a degreasing process.

Sintering:

Sintering at high temperatures, usually close to the melting point of the metal material, usually between 1100°C and 1400°C.

Post-processing:

Examples include polishing, heat treating, or surface coating to improve product performance or achieve higher dimensional accuracy. If required, the part can be precision machined or given a secondary heat treatment to improve mechanical properties.

Advantages of Metal Injection Moulding

High Complexity: MIM is capable of producing complex shapes, thin-walled structures, and parts with extremely high detail accuracy, which is difficult to achieve with traditional machining processes.

High material utilisation: MIM is a Near-Net-Shaping process that reduces material waste compared to cutting (material removal).

Mass production economics: Multiple identical or different parts can be produced in a single injection, making it suitable for volume production.

Wide range of material options: MIM can use a wide range of metal materials, such as stainless steel, iron-based alloys, titanium alloys, copper alloys, etc., suitable for a variety of application scenarios.

Areas of application

Consumer electronics: such as precision metal parts in smartphones, watches.

Medical devices: such as dental tools, surgical instruments, implants, etc.

Automotive industry: such as engine components, fuel injection system parts.

Aerospace: such as precision avionics components.

Military and weapons: such as gun parts and ammunition parts.
