Granulator for MIM

         This machine is special for making feedstock for metal injection molding process (MIM). Many kinds of materials can be produced by this machine such as Iron-based alloy steel, stainless steel, nickel-based alloy, tungsten alloy, hard alloy, titanium alloy, magnetic material, Kovar alloy, etc.  After preparing the feedstock, the following image show what will be done.     

Metal Injection Molding (MIM)

         Metal Injection Molding (MIM) – sometimes called Powdered Injection Molding (PIM) – is an advanced metal forming technique that uses injection molding equipment for manufacturing both simple and complex metal parts to tight tolerances.  MIM can be used across a wide range of components, but the best applications are typically small and weigh less than 100 grams, though larger parts are possible.  The MIM process can replace other metal forming techniques such as investment casting and machining.

• 1.Complex geometries
• 2.Efficient use of material
• 3.Less material waste as a result of producing near net shape components and considered a green technology
• 4.Repeatability
• 5.Excellent mechanical properties
• 6.Tailored solutions using unique materials formulated to meet component/application requirements
• 7.MPP materials can be brazed/joined to a variety of components for complete assembly solutions
• 
  
• Key Attributes:
• 1. MIM is a repeatable process for complex components made from high-temperature alloys.
• 2. MIM parts are near fully dense, which provides excellent mechanical, magnetic, corrosion, and hermetic sealing properties, and allows secondary operations like plating, heat treating, and machining to be easily performed.
• 3. Complex shapes are achieved through innovative tooling techniques similar to those used in the plastic injection molding industry.
• High volumes are attained through multi-cavity tooling.
