Metal injection molding (MIM) is a metalworking process in which finely-powdered metal is mixed with binder material to create a "feedstock" that is then shaped and solidified using injection molding. The molding process allows high volume, complex parts to be shaped in a single step. After molding, the part undergoes conditioning operations to remove the binder (debinding) and densify the powders. Finished products are small components used in many industries and applications.
Compared with traditional technology, the MIM technology has the characteristics of high precision, uniform structure, excellent performance and low production cost. In recent years, with the rapid development of MIM technology, its products have been widely used in consumer electronics, communications and information engineering, biomedical equipment, automobile, watch industry, weapons, aerospace industry, etc.
304L stainless steel powder is one of the most used material for Metal Injection Molding.
