Subsequent processing of powder injection molding products
1. Overview The key reasons for using powder injection molding is able to reduce costs. In many cases, the PIM is only used as a near net shape, the final details of the product also need to subsequent processing.Such high grinding and machining processes usually cost, using the PIM for final machining of rough sometimes easier. This means that through …
Comparison of PIM and Molding
The difference between powder injection molding and other method which based on molding sometimes can be confused. Molding is often used in the traditional production of powder metallurgy, ceramics and carbides. Molding is the application of technology has longtime been used to form a wide range of materials–ranging from ceramics to pharmaceuticals. Molding use upper and lower punch to suppress …
Preliminary recognition of PIM product
How do you know if a product is suitable for use in powder injection molding process ? You first need to consider the annual output. From past experience, the powder injection molding for industrial demand from the annual production of 5,000 pieces (such as specialized gun sight) to annual production of 100 million pieces (for example, mobile phone vibrator counterweight). …
PIM comparisons with other net-shape forming technology
Feasibility of powder injection molding technology is up to the other competitive processes. In any project, there are two steps in the competition. First step is to filter based on the processing capacity: what kind of technology can be used to form the desired characteristics and properties? The second step is based on the cost of competition: the expected production …
Applicable occasions of PIM
PIM used to product complex high-performance products; it has wide range of applications, from medical devices to wireless communication components. PIM technology overcomes the many limitations, such as plastic skill performance, traditional powder press forming, machining costs, isostatic pressure slip casting and production efficiency, the surface quality of casting defects and tolerance limits. Therefore, PIM is the best application of …
What is MIM?
Powder injection moulding (PIM) belongs to the net shape process, using polymer binders and inert powders on the injection moulding machine works parts. PIM branch consists of metal powder injection molding (MIM), ceramic powder injection molding (CIM) and cemented carbide powder injection molding (CCIM). Distinctive feature of PIM PIM can produce a wide range of high-performance, complex shaped parts. In …
