Injection Molding of Metals and Ceramics

This publication provides an introduction to an exciting forming technique that relies on particles mixed with thermoplastic binders to shape complex components via injection molding. It furnishes an understanding of the steps, options, successes, and engineering attributes associated with powder injection molding (PIM) as a manufacturing process.

The book is applicable to a wide range of materials. Process descriptions are given for metals (MIM), ceramics (CIM), intermetallic compounds, cermets and composites.

PIM Compilation (4-Part Series)

This series of PIM publications is a collection of technical manuscripts as presented at the annual MPIF conferences from 2000 through 2006, and recorded in the subsequent official conference proceedings Advances in Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials. The intent of this series is to present a single source for review of the current developments of the PIM process as offered through the annual MPIF conference.

The series comprises four parts, PIM Compilation I – Powders, Binders and Feedstocks, PIM Compilation II – Molding, Debinding, Sintering, PIM Compilation III – Secondary Processing and Material Properties, and PIM Compilation IV – Applications and Management Issues.

MICRO PIM Workshop 2009

The Final Report on the Workshop on Scientific Issues for Medical and Dental Applications of Micro/Nano Powder injection Molding--Molding, Sintering, Modeling, and Commercial Applications is now available. This unique workshop, organized by Randall M. German and Young-Sam Kwon, was held March 4-6, 2009, in Orlando. The workshop focused on identifying the scientific challenges in projecting PIM to smaller features and smaller devices, what is termed microminiature powder injection. A major opportunity is in minimally invasive surgical tools, pacemakers, implants, dental tools, biopsy tools, and replacement bones. This report includes a 53-page summary. Over 44 organizations participated in the workshop, including 15 universities and three research centers.
