What process can be chosen for connector ?

Metal injection molding for small connector Metal injection molding is a metalworking process in which finely-powdered metal is mixed with binder material to produce a “feedstock” which is then shaped by injection molding. The complex parts just need to be shaped in one step during the whole process. After molding, the part undergoes conditioning operations to remove the binder and densify the powder. As the good performance on roughness , tolerance ,high efficiency than other technic .The metal injection molding…

COMPARING METAL INJECTION MOLDING & POWDERED METALLURGY

Where MIM Differs from PM? It is usually confused MIM with traditional press-sinter powder metallurgy (PM). The standard powder metallurgy forming step relies on vertical axis compaction to press a coarse powder into compact. The pressing route is the same as used to form pharmaceuticals pills. Die compaction is best at forming squat shapes that are easily ejected from the tooling while the ejection step requires the sides be parallel, a restriction in geometry not seen in MIM. The major…

Investment Casting or Metal Powder Injection Molding?

Which way has the better cost performance? One inquiry recently from our customer to ask quote by investment casting technique. According to the drawing, the material of this part is 1.4409 and the weight  is 30gr, 15000pcs/batch. After our analyzing , metal powder injection molding is better than silica sol investment casting. Here is the reason below. -The weight which is not more than 50 gr , it is fit for MIM. – 316L of MIM is the  equivalent material  for 1.4409 . -The more…
