The application of metal injection molding in the field of mobile phone


Metal injection molding is used more and more widely, in which the mobile phone began to use the metal injection molding technology. Because of the market of lighter, thinner and more beautiful mobile phone, need to use the best technology to reduce the size of the mobile phone, a mobile phone company is seeking to create mobile phone assembly parts by metal injection molding method.
某手机品牌总裁在午餐会上说:我们的第一个金属手机是采用铝制造,我们发现为了满足所有的要求,金属注射成形方法是最好的,在很多情况下也是唯一的选择。但是该公司并不将金属注射成形零件作为首先材料,因为手机的市场寿命很短,样式变化很快,而金属注射成形方法的生产周期长,生产成本也较高。

A mobile phone brand president at the luncheon, said: "we first metal phone is made of aluminum, we found that in order to meet all the requirements, metal injection molding method is the best, in many cases is the only choice. But the company is not the first material as parts of metal injection molding, because the mobile phone market has very short service life, the style changes quickly, and the metal injection molding method of long production cycle, high cost.
现在手机中有几种零件是采用金属注射成形方法制造的,例如:采用钨制造的振子平衡重量,采用高强度钢制造的铰链,金属注射成形方法在手机中最重要的应用是制造滑道、圆桶和铰链。其公司总裁说:金属注射成形方法的优点及金属注射成形技术的提高会增加其在手机制造中的应用,手机制造行业对金属注射成形方法缺乏了解影响了应用

Now the phone has several parts is by metal injection molding manufacturing method. For example: the manufacturing tungsten vibrator balance weight, use made of high strength steel hinges, metal injection forming method in mobile phone is one of the most important application is to create a slide, barrel and a hinge. The president of the company said: "metal injection moulding method and metal injection moulding technology improvement increases with its application in the manufacture of mobile phones, mobile phone manufacturing industry of metal injection moulding method lack of understanding of the impact of the application".
现在金属注射成形方法只是用来制造一些结构和功能比较复杂的手机,如带翻盖的手机。该公司总裁说:从制造时间和费用考虑,制造普通手机不宜采用金属注射成形零件

Now the metal injection molding method is used to create the structure and function of complex mobile phone, such as flip mobile phone. The president of the company said: "considering the time and cost of manufacture, making the ordinary mobile phone should not be used for metal injection molding parts".
此从这个事件可以看出,粉末注射成型的应用面开始更为广泛。其技术也越来越纯熟,随着社会国民经济的发展,粉末注射成型将迈上更高一个层次。


This can be seen from this event, the application of metal injection moulding to more widely. The technology is more and more skilled, with the development of social economy, the metal injection molding will step onto a higher level.
