The Competitive Advantages of Metal Injection Molding Compared with Plastic Injection Molding

Metal injection molding merges two established technology, powdered metal and plastic injection molding, so MIM combines the flexibility of injection molding with durability and strength of metal materials, which is more adaptable and productive. What is the difference between metal injection molding and plastic injection molding? Well, now let Sints tell you.

1, MIM needs vacuum sintering, that PIM doesn’t require. Besides, the injection process is different from each other.

2, Metal injection molding is a new manufacturing technology of metal parts with high technological content. On contrast, plastic injection molding with low technological content cost fewer, and achieves low strength.

3, Actually, MIM is the expansion of PIM, that in order to fix various shortages of PIM, add metal or ceramics to plastic, to get products with high strength, good wear resistance. And sometimes in order to achieve the best mechanical properties, MIM will eliminate the plastic binders, and densify the parts.
