Metal injection molding (MIM) process will have more and more market

As a segment of powder metallurgy below, metal injection molding process in the country the past two years has been very rapid development. Currently incomplete statistics, only in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, there are large and small MIM factory over 30, and 80% are nearly two years before commissioning of the plant. Equipment manufacturers, feed manufacturers have also produced a number of outstanding domestic enterprises, the industry did not provide a very good supply of equipment and raw materials, in particular materials, breaking the foreign feeding a dominant situation.

Powder metallurgy injection molding is one of the results of research and development of powder metallurgy technology extends. Powder metallurgy technology can minimize the alloy component segregation, eliminating coarse, uneven casting organization. In the preparation of high-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials, rare earth hydrogen storage materials, rare earth luminescent materials, rare earth catalyst, high-temperature superconducting materials, new metal materials (such as Al-Li alloys, heat-resistant Al alloys, super alloys, corrosion resistant stainless steel powder, powder high-speed steel, high-temperature structural materials intermetallic compounds, etc.) plays an important role.

Metal injection molding a growing number of new markets, more and more companies began to try to import the MIM process. Aerospace, automotive, medical, military, businesses are beginning to have MIM technology products. China is a big country of manufacturing. The powder metallurgy This process, will face a bigger market. Traditional processing technology, will suffer one of the most serious test.

It is understood, MIM technology manufacturing aircraft structural parts, auto parts has been quite common in MIM powder metallurgy products are represented by aircraft manufacturing, automobile manufacturing large-scale use. With the advent of the domestic manufacturing era, I believe there will be more opportunity to show its mettle MIM process.
