Electric Lock Latch Bolt

Feature：lock latch bolt or Ball lock cylinders are made by MIM technology. For this kind of stainless steel item, powder injection molding is the best choice. This part is made of stainless steel 316(SUS316). 

Compared with SUS304, its price is higher, but has the following advantages:

1) SUS316 products have good surface finish and beautiful looks;

2) Excellent corrosion resistance, especially pitting resistance due to the addition of Mo;

3) Excellent high temperature strength

4) Excellent work hardening property (weak magnetic properties after processing)

5) the solution state has no magnetism;

Besides lock parts, SUS316 is widely used in pipeline, heat exchanger, chemical industry, watch, clock and medical device etc..

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.
