MIM metal powder summary

Metal injection molding (MIM) is more suitable for small and three-dimensional in charge of the shape of the special products, this process is also a plastic injection molding technology introduced to the powder metallurgy industry. At present, MIM metal powder raw materials, including iron, nickel, titanium, stainless steel, precious metals, alloys and other materials. At the same time more in the development of diversification, such as structural materials, functional materials, magnetic materials, etc..
 The MIM powder production method mainly include: carbonyl and super high-pressure water atomization method, high-pressure gas atomization method, plasma atomization and laminar flow atomization. Different powder preparation techniques have different effects on the size, shape, microstructure, chemical properties and manufacturing cost of the powder.
