Metal injection molding is a new type of powder metallurgy molding technology formed. Compared with traditional processes, MIM has the characteristics of high precision, uniform structure, excellent performance and low production cost, and it is widely used. Used in electronic information engineering, biomedical equipment, office equipment, automobiles, machinery, aerospace, etc.

Stainless steel powder is one of the most used material for MIM. At the same time, it has good high temperature strength performance and excellent work hardening (weak magnetic properties after processing). It can be widely used in electronic information engineering, biomedical equipment, office equipment, automobiles, machinery, aerospace, etc.
