In recent years, metal injection molding technology has mainly developed in two directions: the expansion of applicable material systems and the development of high reliability production equipment to meet unique adhesive and degreasing technologies.
Multi directional expansion of material systems. Injection molding technology is an ideal and cost-effective near net forming technique that can achieve the desired shape with minimal or no subsequent processing after sintering. This has become increasingly important in the industrial production application of precision ceramics. In the production of precision ceramics, it is mainly applied to carbides, metal ceramics, inorganic non-metallic ceramics, oxide ceramics, intermetallic compounds, etc.
Taking zirconia ceramic fiber optic pins (ferrules) as an example, using injection molding technology to prepare green billets can greatly shorten subsequent processing time. Due to the fact that the blank formed in the mold cavity already has through holes with certain accuracy, the subsequent grinding process is reduced to one-third to one-quarter of that of extrusion forming, thereby improving production efficiency and significantly reducing production costs.
