Hand Tools On-off Key

Feature：Stainless steel is the most suitable material for MIM products, but at the same time, some structural and functional components with high strength and high wear resistance are needed. 3-Series stainless steel and decarbonized MIM iron-based materials cannot meet the performance requirements of products, so iron-based (including 4-series stainless steel) carbon-retaining materials accounts for a larger share of MIM market,. But carbon control of iron-based products has always been a difficult problem to MIM enterprises. Many MIM professionals and technicians have a headache, because the stability of carbon content of products will not only affect the material properties of final products, but also have great impact to the tools dimension control and dimension stability of products.

In terms of raw materials, the main raw materials of domestic iron powder powder metallurgy has not only at present, electrolytic copper powder, domestic already can produce atomized iron powder, stainless steel, high-speed steel powder, coated powder and various metal MIM powder, ceramic powder, can basically meet the needs of domestic production of high strength parts, also can the production of special purpose raw material powder, greatly expanded powder metallurgy product variety, but the quality and the variety and abroad there is still a large gap.

MIM technology can make various kinds of metal parts. If your part is made of stainless steel, steel, iron and the shape is complex, MIM is the best choice. If you want to make metal components by MIM, you need to send us the parts drawings, including PDF and 3D files in which, we can see the shape, sizes, tolerance and other requirements such as surface treatment, hardness(HRC). Also, we need to know the quantity for the part. Because to make MIM items, the mold is important. To make a mold is around 3000--5500USD that based on the shape, so if the customer have several parts to produce, we suggest to put them in one mold to save cost.
