At present,the competition between the international auto industry is more and more intense. The premised condition to win in the fierce competition is using the technology with low cost to produce high-quality products , so the higher requirement is put forward for the near net shaping produce process of the auto industry. The Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology has promoted the development of the auto industry greatly.
MIM technology combines the advantages of Powder Metallurgy and Plastic Injection Molding,which has broken through the limitation on the product shape by traditional metal powder forming process. By Metal Injection Molding technology,the mechanical components with high density,excellent property and surface quality can be sintered.At the same time,the components with high complicated structure can be finished with mass production and high efficiency,such as the high precision external grooving, external thread ,cross hole and so on,the components with above characteristics can't be finished by conventional Powder Metallurgy and Precision Casting technology.
With the advantages of MIM technology,various industries have got a huge development,especially the auto industry.But the overall market output value is relatively low, so this requires the domestic enterprises to improve continuously,as the market space is still broad.
