Materials:
Carbon steel, stainless steel, special alloys, aluminium oxides, titanium.
MIM – Metal Injection Moulding
Advantages of MIM:
- Complex-shape production, eliminating or minimizing machining
- Cost-effective manufacture of high volume complex parts
- Good dimensional control with close tolerances
- Wide range of alloys and composites
- High material density and strength
CIM – Ceramic Injection Moulding
Advantages of CIM:
- Thermal stability
- Corrosion resistance in acidic as well as alkaline environments
- Excellent dielectric properties (can be used as an electrical insulator)
- Great degree of hardness
- Excellent wear resistance
