Since the 1990s,the global sales of Metal Injection Molding(MIM) components has been developing with a annual growth rate that more than 30%. With the continuous development of auto industry, the application of MIM technology on auto industry is growing steadily year by year,the auto components produced by MIM technology covers about 10% marketing share. Light-weight,intelligent,energy saving,safety and environmental protection are the important development directions of auto technology currently.
By MIM technology,the tiny complex auto components can be designed as a whole and formed by one time,so the components can be miniature,functional integrated,light-weight,low-cost.For example,MIM technology can form various external grooving, external thread, conical outer surface, cross hole, blind hole, groove and key pins,the surface knurling,etc.It is this unique compound features that make the Metal Injection Molding technology possess strong competitiveness.Therefore,it is developing rapidly all over the world nowadays.
