What Are The Uses of MIM Degreasing Sintering Furnaces?

The MIM degreasing and sintering furnace is mainly used in the Metal Injection molding (MIM) process to degrease and sinter metal parts after injection molding. The specific uses are as follows

· Removal of Binder 1: During the metal injection molding process, a certain amount of polymer binder is added to ensure that the metal powder has good fluidity for injection molding. The MIM degreasing and sintering furnace can remove polymer residues from metal parts through the degreasing process. Usually, thermal degreasing, catalytic degreasing and other methods can be adopted to prepare for the subsequent sintering process.

· Enhancing the density and strength of parts 3: After degreasing, metal parts undergo a sintering process, causing the metal particles to fuse and the atoms to form metallurgical bonds, thereby increasing the overall density and strength of the parts. Eventually, high-strength, high-precision, and highly corrosion-resistant metal parts are manufactured to meet the usage requirements of different application scenarios.

· Ensuring product quality and performance 2: The MIM degreasing sintering furnace can precisely control process parameters such as temperature and atmosphere, ensuring uniform temperature inside the furnace. It can effectively suppress metal volatilization and improve the density of the product. By controlling the microstructure and phase transformation of materials, components can also possess better high-temperature oxidation resistance, fatigue resistance, etc., ensuring stable product quality and performance meeting requirements.

· Applicable to processing of multiple materials 5: It can be used for degreasing and sintering of injection molding products made of various metal materials such as iron-based, stainless steel, titanium alloy, alloy steel, and high-speed steel, and can also be used for related treatment of some ceramic materials, expanding the application range of the equipment.

· Enhance production efficiency: Some MIM degreasing and sintering furnaces can achieve integrated degreasing and sintering treatment, avoiding the pollution risk caused by material transfer in traditional processes, shortening the production cycle, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

MIM degreasing sintering furnaces are widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, medical devices, and electronic component manufacturing, for the production of various parts including automotive engine components, aero engine parts, orthodontic dental products, and metal decorative parts for mobile phone casings.
