Metal Injection Molding Service for Small Complex Precision Parts

Metal injection molding combines powdered metal with a binder, injects it into molds, then heats it to remove the binder and sinter it into a durable part. Suitable for small, complex, high-precision metal parts manufacturing. The material selection range is wide, such as iron-based, nickel alloy, tungsten alloy, titanium alloy, superalloy alloy, etc.

Metal Injection Molding(MIM) Vs. Powder Compression Molding(PCM)

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and Powder Compression Molding (PCM) are both innovative manufacturing processes used to produce metal parts. MIM involves mixing fine metal powders with a polymer binder to create a feedstock, which is then injected into a mold cavity and heated to remove the binder and sinter the metal particles. On the other hand, PCM compacts metal powders under high pressure and temperature to form a green part, which is then sintered to achieve final density.

Metal Injection Molding(MIM)
Metal Injection Molding(MIM)
MIM excels in producing small to medium-sized, complex parts with tight tolerances (±0.3% to ±0.5%), offering high densities (95-98%) and excellent surface finishes. Ideal for high-volume production, MIM is cost-effective for parts requiring minimal post-processing and is widely used in the medical, aerospace, and electronics sectors.
Powder Compression Molding(PCM)
Powder Compression Molding(PCM)
PCM is best for larger, simpler shapes, achieving 90-95% densities and ±1% to ±2% tolerances. With lower tooling costs and the ability to handle a broad range of materials, PCM parts may need more finishing work. It's preferred for automotive, industrial, and heavy machinery components, where the slightly lower precision is acceptable.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)

PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. It is a process that involves the deposition of a thin film of material onto a substrate using physical means such as evaporation or sputtering in a vacuum environment.

PVD produces thin films with a high degree of uniformity in thickness and composition, making it useful for applications that require precise coatings.

Plating

Plating

Electroplating is a process of depositing a thin layer of metal onto a conductive surface by means of an electrochemical reaction.

Electroplating produces a highly durable and wear-resistant coating that can protect the substrate from corrosion and other forms of damage.

Powder Coating

Powder Coating

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing dry powder and then sprayed onto a surface. The powder is cured by heating it to a temperature that causes it to melt and then bond to the surface.

Powder coatings are highly durable and resistant to scratches, chipping, and fading. They can withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, chemicals, and UV radiation, making them ideal for outdoor applications.

Brushing

Brushing

Brushing is a surface finishing process that involves using a brush or abrasive material to create a pattern of fine lines or scratches on a metal surface.

Brushed finishes are highly durable and can withstand exposure to harsh environments, making them a popular choice for applications such as industrial equipment and architectural elements.

Chemical Etching

Chemical Etching

Chemical etching, also known as chemical milling or photochemical machining, is a surface finishing process that involves using chemicals to selectively remove material from a metal surface.

Chemical etching allows for extremely precise patterns and shapes to be etched onto a metal surface, with tolerances as low as a few microns. This level of precision makes it ideal for producing complex parts or components with intricate designs.

Laser Marking

Laser Marking

The laser beam causes a reaction in the surface of the material, resulting in a permanent mark that can be customized to meet specific design requirements.

Laser marks are highly durable and resistant to wear, fading, and other types of damage. This makes laser marking ideal for applications that require long-lasting marks, such as branding, identification, and traceability.

Polishing

Polishing

Polishing is the process of smoothing and refining a surface by using an abrasive material to remove small amounts of material.

The purpose of polishing is to create a smooth and reflective surface, enhance the appearance of the surface, and improve its resistance to wear and corrosion.
