MIM-Ni18Co9Mo5

MIM technology is a manufacturing process that combines the versatility and design flexibility of plastic injection molding with metal's mechanical and thermal properties. This process is ideal for producing small, complex-shaped metal parts with high precision and excellent surface finish.

The Ni18Co9Mo5 alloy, due to its unique composition, exhibits a blend of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal properties. The presence of nickel enhances the material's overall strength and offers good corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments. Cobalt increases the material's wear resistance and strength at high temperatures. Molybdenum contributes to the alloy's high-temperature strength and hardness while improving its resistance to pitting corrosion.

This material is often used in applications requiring high strength, excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, and good corrosion resistance. Typical applications include aerospace components, automotive parts, medical devices, and energy sector components. Such as power tool shafts, pins, etc. The MIM process allows for the cost-effective production of Ni18Co9Mo5 parts with complex geometries, reducing the need for secondary machining and finishing processes.
