Metal powder injection molding is a molding method in which a plasticized mixture of metal powder and its binder is injected into a mold. It is to first mix the selected powder with the binder, and then granulate the mixture and then inject the required shape. Metal powder injection molding, as a near-net-shape technology for manufacturing high-quality precision parts, has advantages that conventional powder metallurgy, machining and precision casting methods cannot match.
Equipment needed for metal powder injection molding: granulating machine, special injection molding machine, degreasing furnace, sintering furnace, testing equipment, secondary processing equipment, etc.
Metal powder injection molding is mainly used in consumer electronics, auto parts, medical equipment, hardware tools and other fields.
From the perspective of the application field of auto parts, auto parts are the application areas of traditional powder metallurgy technology. Based on the advantages of metal powder injection molding technology, such as excellent performance, low cost, and light weight, it has gradually replaced the traditional powder metallurgy process. The parts are used, and it is expected that the application will be expanded to more categories in the future.
