The MIM process mainly includes 8 important aspects of product design, mold design, quality inspection, mixing, molding, degreasing, sintering, secondary processing, etc., which determines whether surface treatment is required for product characteristics.

MIM process flow chart

The following is the analysis of the pr꧙oduction process of parts from the four unique processing step🌱s of MIM (mixing, forming, degreasing and sintering).

One, mixed

Fine metal powder and th🦹ermopl🍸astic, paraffin binder are mixed in precise proportions.

Second, molding

The granular raw material is fed int🍷o the machine for heating and injected into the mold cavity under high pressure to form a blank.

Three, skim

Degreasing is the process of removing the center of the molded part. This pro💫cess is usually completed in several steps. After solvent extra🍒ction of some joints, the remaining bond is removed by thermal debonding. When debonding, control the carbon content in the batch and reduce the oxygen content.

Fourth, sintering

✃ The high density of MIM parts is achieved by high sintering temperature and long sintering time, thus great🦹ly improving and improving the mechanical properties of the parts materials.
