Metal Injection Moulding
WHAT IS METAL
INJECTION MOLDING?
Metal injection molding (MIM) is
a metalworking process that makes
net-shape, intricate metal parts.
The process begins with a metal
powder suspended in a polymer
binder matrix (a feedstock) that is
injected into a tool in a process
very similar to plastic injection molding resulting in a green part. The
green part becomes a brown part
after it travels through a debinding
process to remove most of the
polymer carrier. The brown part
then enters the sintering process
where it is heated in a furnace to
remove the remaining binder and
form a dense metal part. The resulting part is typically 97% dense.
