Metal Injection
Metal Injection is a modern Metal manufacturing technology, also known as Metal Injection Molding (MIM), which combines the advantages of traditional powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding. The technology mixes a metal powder with an organic polymer powder and infuses the mixture with a plasticized binder into a molded mold, which is then sintered and heat-treated at high temperatures to transform it into a high-density, high-strength metal component. Compared with traditional processing methods, Metal Injection has lower cost and higher production efficiency, and can produce small parts with complex forms. It is widely used in automotive, medical devices, conmuser electronic products ,industrial tool product ,electrical appliance industry ,and other industries.
The cost of Metal Injection is affected by many factors, such as material cost, equipment cost, production process complexity, batch size, design, etc.
- First of all, metal and organic polymer powders used for metal injection are high-quality raw materials, and their high price will affect the cost of metal injection.
- Secondly, metal injection needs to use special production equipment, including injection molding machines, cooling equipment, sintering furnace, etc., these equipment also needs to invest a certain amount of money.
- In addition, the complexity of the production process also has an impact on the cost. If the parts produced are simple in shape and large in quantity, the cost is relatively low; If the parts produced are complex in shape and small in quantity, the cost is relatively high.
- Finally, design is an important factor in cost. The cost of reasonably designed, compact and easy to produce parts is naturally relatively low.
In summary, the cost of Metal Injection varies from case to case. If you have specific needs, please consult a professional metal injection manufacturer for more detailed information.
