The MIM process is typically explained as four unique processing steps (compounding, molding, debinding and sintering) to produce a final part that may or may not need final finishing operations. It is a net-shape process for the manufacturing of high volume high precision components for use in a diverse range of industries. MIM parts can now be found in all areas of life, from our cars and trucks to watches, dental braces, door safe lock, mobile phones, IT equipment, aerospace, militray, DIY tools and more.

Why Choose MIM Process?

Compared with traditional powder metallurgy, CNC machining and investment casting, MIM technology has the following advantages:

1.Machining free (achieve sharp angle of R ≤ 0.1mm; Depth of Parallelism ≤ 0.02; Ra ≤ 1.6μm; tolerance in ±0.025mm-±0.05mm)

2.Excellent geometrically complexity ( achieve a hole of 0.4mm, thin wall of 1mm )

3. Unlimited shapes: MIM can make unlimited, complex shapes of parts by one shot process.

4. MIM can make holes, grooves, screw threads, annular knurls, words and logos.

5 Mass production: use MIM to make mass production, can save you more time and money.

6. Reliable physical properties: high intensity which can reach even 95%, good surface finish(MIM can reach Ra1.6), can do electrophoresis, nickle plating, vacuum coating etc., can do cementite, hardening, heat treatment etc., according to requirements.

7. High precision: the size precision for one shot process can reach +/- 0.1~0.5%. For some higher precision requirement, can machined by CNC.

8. Various materials: MIM parts can be made of iron, stainless steel, steel, hard alloys etc..

9. Low cost: to make complex shape and mass quantity parts, MIM can save quite a lot of cost.

10. Minimizes scrap losses by typically using more than 97% of the starting raw material.

11. Sustainable manufacturing - Green technology.
