Metal Injection Molding in China: 2020 Market Research
Despite a broad economic slowdown, manufacturing in China is transitioning to an innovation-driven model. The China’s Metal Injection Molding industry has grown rapidly with the demand for high-performance products; currently, over four hundred Chinese MIM companies are active, producing a range of[……]
How does Metal Injection Molding Work?
The Metal Injection Molding process is characterized by high pressure injection of powdered metals and binders rather than the conventional gravity fed processes.
The main applications for this technique are to produce small and often more complex parts often ranging in weight from 0.5 to 150g.

Is your new component a good fit for Metal Injection Molding?
Metal injection molding (MIM) is a new technique for component manufacturing. It introduced the plastic injection molding technique to powder metallurgy field and forms a new component manufacturing technique. As plastic injection molding is mainly used to produce complex and low price plastic produ[……]
Why Choose Metal Injection Molding?
Metal Injection Molding process provides the ability to design unique metal products without the cost restrictions that would be found with conventional metal forming techniques. The MIM process combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength and integrity of wrought m[……]
Global Metal Injection Molding Market
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) has been in production since the 1970s. Over the last decade, the market has expanded significantly to include a broad array of applications such as automotive, consumer electronics, medical and firearms, among others.

Metal Injection Molding in the 5G era: Opportunities for growth
Since its advent in the 1970s, Metal Injection Molding technology has successfully taken a significant market share from conventional manufacturing technologies – such as PM, investment casting, die casting, stamping and machining – in the production of small metal parts. MIM’s shrinkage ratio of mo[……]
Micro MIM succeeds in production of 0.03 mm diameter micro nozzle
Micro MIM has succeeded in the mass production of a micro nozzle with a hole diameter of 0.03 mm (30 μm) and an aspect ratio of 5 using Metal Injection Molding process.
Using conventional technology, i.e. machining, it is currently not possible to produce a hole with a diameter smaller than 0.05[……]
Sizing and Coining
If the dimensional tolerances and/or the mechanical properties obtained after the sintering (or heat treatment) of the MIM parts are unsatisfactory, a sizing or coining operation can be carried out.
The sizing operation, which is carried out at moderate compacting pressures, serves to improve the[……]
