We have recently renovated our headquarters’ factory: at the beginning of this year, we started the renewed factory operation. Some of the measurement or evaluation equipment installation is not completed yet though we will introduce our new production line.

Compared to other metal component manufacturing processes, the metal injection moulding (MIM) process is fairly complicated and each process step is interactive. Furthermore, our μ-MIM technology normally deals with very complex designed small components in serial production.

As the last issue in 2021, we would like to introduce some common defects and the problem solutions in the debinding and sintering process in metal injection moulding (MIM).

In the metal injection moulding (MIM) process, every processing parameter will affect the final component’s quality significantly, especially in small and complicated designed MIM components production.

The debinding or degreasing process is unique in powder metallurgy among metal processing. In the compaction powder metallurgy method, a few percent of the binder is contained in total volume.

The injection moulding process is the only process that gives the shape in MIM, therefore the mould finalises our part shape.
