Application For MIM:The Automotive Parts

As the economy develops,cars are becoming the standard configuration of each family,MIM

technology is needed greatly during the manufacturing process of cars,thus automotive sector has

become a major consumer of MIM, and parts of high complexity are used in engines, gearboxes,

turbochargers,locking mechanisms, steering systems and electronic systems ,etc.

 

Automotive SRS Parts:

This MIM product is the typical example that has extremely complex structure,it is difficult to make it

by other processes.It is made from 17-4PH,which has awesome anticorrosive property.After

sintering,its hardness is 40HRC,density is 7.55 g/cm3,it is used for supplemental restraint system,only

MIM process could reach such a high precision,thus could keep securities of people inside of cars.

Automotive Exhaust Valve:

The product which is shown in the picture requires high density and low tolerance,and it’s hollow in the

middle. This is used for vent-pipe, it also requires good fluidity and good hardness,only MIM process

could meet all requirements above.

Automotive Ignition System Parts:

The difficulty of this product assembles complex structure, high hardness and high density,etc. The

processes of precision casting,machining and punching press,they all have their own weaknesses to

make such an awesome product.But MIM is good at handling these problems. This product is used for

automotive ignition system,it requires good hardness and good precision indeed,MIM was born for

that.

Advantages of MIM:

MIM technology can make the products whose shape is quite small and complex,whose hardness need

to be very high,whose tensile strength need to be very strong. Comparing with other processes,MIM

technology enhance the quality of products also save the cost.

As time goes by,MIM technology is getting better and more mature,people’s demands of it are getting

larger.
