MIM Material

Here is the good intro about the MIM

There are several materials that can be used for MIM (Metal Injection Molding) process, some of the most commonly used materials include:

  • Stainless steel: This is a popular material choice for MIM due to its excellent corrosion resistance and strength.
  • Titanium: This high-strength material is often used in aerospace and medical applications.
  • Cobalt-chrome: This metal alloy has excellent wear and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in orthopedic implants.
  • Inconel: This nickel-based alloy is known for its high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in aerospace and gas turbine applications.
  • Copper: This material has excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, making it a popular choice for electronic components.
  • Tungsten: This high-density metal is often used in weights and counterweights, as well as for radiation shielding.
  • Aluminum: This lightweight metal is often used in automotive and aerospace applications.
  • Magnesium: This lightweight metal is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for use in aerospace and automotive applications.
  • Nickel: This material is often used for its high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, as well as for its magnetic properties.
  • Zirconium: This material is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, making it ideal for use in medical implants.

MIM Material
MIM material is created using a variety of metals including stainless steel, titanium, and magnetic alloys. Our material provides high precision, accuracy and consistency when it comes to creating small metal parts. It’s an excellent option for those who are looking for superior quality without compromising on cost.
MIM (Metal Injection Molding) and PIM (Powder Injection Molding) are advanced metal fabrication techniques that enable the production of complex, intricate parts with high precision and repeatability. MIM is often used to produce small, intricate metal components with tight tolerances and a high degree of consistency. Furthermore, MIM processes can be used to achieve detailed textures and finishes on both internal and external surfaces.
MIM parts have a density of up to 95%, meaning that the material is extremely dense and hard. The high-density makes it an ideal material for creating small, intricate parts with precision. It also has excellent surface finish with minimal finishing operations.
