Laptop Shaft Hinge Metal MIM Sinter Stainless Steel Parts
Product Overview
Metal MIM sintered stainless - steel parts are made by injecting a
blend of fine stainless - steel powder and binder into a mold.
After binder removal, sintering fuses the particles at high temps.
This process yields parts with good mechanical properties like
strength and corrosion resistance. Widely used in automotive,
medical, and electronics, they're valued for durability and
precision.
What is Metal Injection Molding?
Metal injection molding is a net shape process meaning the final
product does not require additional finishing or machining. While
traditional metalworking processes have a significant amount of
material waste, MIM has almost no waste, which translates to cost
savings during production
How MIM Works
Mixing – Fine metallic powder is blended with binders to create a
homogeneous feedstock
Injection Molding – The feedstock is melted and injected into the mold to form green
parts
Debinding – The binder is removed through solvent, thermal, or catalytic
debinding
Sintering – The debound parts are sintered to densify and strengthen the metal
structure Secondary Operations – Additional finishing steps like
machining, drilling, tapping etc.
Key Benefits of MIM Technology
Complex Geometries: MIM excels in producing parts with intricate shapes, thin walls,
and internal features that would be challenging or cost-prohibitive
to produce using traditional manufacturing methods.
Material Efficiency: The near-net-shape production process reduces material waste,
making it highly cost-effective for high-volume production.
Consistency: MIM ensures uniformity and precision across large production runs,
guaranteeing high-quality parts with minimal variation.
Superior Mechanical Properties: MIM parts have mechanical properties comparable to
solid wrought materials, ensuring strength and durability.
Cost-Effectiveness: MIM significantly reduces production costs by eliminating the need
for costly machining steps, making it ideal for high-volume
production of precision parts.
Applications of MIM
Automotive: Small engine components, transmission parts, and structural
elements.
Aerospace: Lightweight, high-strength parts for aircraft and satellite
systems.
Medical Devices: Surgical instruments, implants, and diagnostic equipment.
Consumer Products: Watches, mobile phones, and home appliances.
Industrial: Tools, hardware, and precision equipment.
