What is Metal Injection Molding? How does It work?

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a new type of metal injection molding near-net forming technology derived from the plastic injection molding industry. MIM combines the advantages of plastic injection molding , such as low cost and the ability to produce precision, complex shapes, with the advantages of powder metallurgy , such as high strength and good wear resistance metal forming. What is Metal Injection Molding (MIM)? The MIM process begins with mixing metal powder and a binder material. The mixture is then injected into a mold using a plastic injection molding machine. The molded part is then subjected to a debinding process, in which the binder is removed. Then is the sintering process , which is a process that causes the metal powder to bond together and form a solid part. MIM is a versatile process that can produce various metal parts. MIM parts are used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and electronics. Although MIM is suitable for small...

Metal Parts Surface Finishes | Powder Coating

  What Is Powder Coating Powder coating is applied to the surface finishes of various metal parts to provide a durable and attractive finish. Under the action of static electricity, the powder will be evenly adsorbed on the surface of the workpiece to form a powdery coating; the powdery coating will be leveled and cured after high-temperature baking to become a final coating with different effects (different types of powder coating effects); The spraying effect of powder spraying is better than that of spraying process in terms of mechanical strength, adhesion, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance, and the cost is higher than that of the spraying process. Powder Coating Effects Matte Finishes Matte finishes in powder coating have a low-gloss or non-reflective appearance. They provide a flat or satin-like finish with minimal shine. These finishes are achieved using specially formulated powder coatings containing additives or pigments to reduce the gloss level. Matte fini...
