MIM (Metal Injection Molding)
Very fine metal powder, combined with binder material, is injected into a die. Part is ejected, the binder is melted or dissolved, and vacuum sintered, resulting in a part 94-99% of theoretical density.
Metals: Primarily ferrous alloys, limited copper base.
Size Range: .0005 lbs. to .22 lbs.
Tolerances: ± .003"/in.
Surface Finish: 45RMS
Minimum Draft Requirements: 1/4°
Normal Minimum Section Thickness: .015" (Small Areas)
Ordering Quantities: Usually 10,000 and up.
Normal Lead Time: Samples: 10-16 weeks
Production: 4-6 weeks A.S.A.
