Comparison

MIM vs Traditional Powder Metallurgy

MIM can manufacture products with complex shapes, avoiding more secondary machining. MIM products have high density, good corrosion resistance, high strength and good ductility. MIM can combine 2 into more PM products into one metal product, saving materials and processes.

MIM vs Machining

MIM design can save material and reduce weight. MIM can repeatedly crush and use the injected gate material without affecting the product performance, and the material utilization rate is high. MIM forms complex products at one time through the mold, avoiding multiple processing steps. MIM can manufacture complex-shaped parts from difficult-to-machine materials.

MIM vs Precision Casting

MIM can manufacture thin-walled products, the thinnest can be 0.15mm, and the surface roughness of MIM products is better. MlM is more suitable for making fine blind holes and through holes. MIM greatly reduces the workload of secondary machining. MIM can quickly manufacture small parts in high volume and at low cost.
