MIM FAQ

Question 1:What does MIM technology mean?

Answer: MIM technology is a new part processing technology formed by introducing plastic injection molding technology into the field of powder metallurgy.

 

Question 2:Is the metal material melted during the injection molding process?

A: No, only the adhesive is melted so that the powder flows like a plastic material. The cooling adhesive gives the component a certain strength. The component is then sintered to a very high density to meet its mechanical properties.

 

Question 3:Why use the MIM process?

Answer: When a part is difficult to produce with traditional machining or casting technology, or the cost will be high when machining, or the part has special requirements for materials, the MIM process has advantages.

 

Question 4:Which metal materials can be used for production?

Answer: Almost all metal alloys can be used in the MIM process, but the current common materials are stainless steel, iron, tungsten alloy, and cemented carbide. Brass, bronze, used in the process is not economical. Zinc aluminum is generally used in die casting process.

 

Question 5:Will the lead time be long?

Answer: The mold cycle is generally 4-5 weeks, and the product is delivered in 1-2 weeks. The delivery cycle can also be adjusted according to the specific needs of customers.

 

Question 6:Can MIM technology do any complex products?

Answer: MIM technology also has limitations. The product volume cannot be too large. Generally, the maximum weight is limited to less than 300 grams; some ultra-thick or ultra-thin sections will also be restricted.

 

Question 7:What equipment is used in the MIM process?

Answer: The equipment used in MIM process includes mixer, injection molding machine, degreasing furnace, sintering furnace, etc.

 

Question 8:Can MIM be heat treated or electroplated?

A: MIM parts and traditional machining products, can be heat treatment, polishing, electroplating.
