How does MIM work? – Metal Injection Molding To make a complex part in metal, you can cast it, forge it, stamp it, or machine it — or injection mold it. Injection mold it? Yes. Injection molding by mixing metal powder with plastic, molding it and then removing the plastic and sintering the part. The process is called metal injection molding (MIM), or sometimes powder injection molding (PIM), and it can produce intricate parts in a wide range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, and even high-temperature alloys. MIM has been around for decades, but only......

RAQs 1. What is MIM technology? MIM (Metal Injection Molding) is a manufacturing technology that combines the shape making complexity of Plastic Injection Molding with the material flexibility of Powder Metallurgy. 2. How does the MIM process work? Fine metal powders are combined with thermoplastic and wax binders to form a feedstock. When heated, the feedstock becomes a viscous slurry which is then injected under high pressure into an engineered mold to form the desired shape component. Upon cooling, the part is ejected from the mold and then subjected to a process (called......
