MIM Materials
The Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process is ideal for producing a wide range of precision structural materials used in industries such as medical, optical, semiconductor, industrial, and aerospace. The process involves a mixture of powdered metals and polymers, specifically designed to create various metal parts.
At XY-GLOBAL, we specialize in using stainless steel, copper, and low alloy steel materials for MIM. In addition, we can also process ceramic materials (such as alumina and zirconia) and other special or custom alloys to meet your specific needs.
If the material you're looking for is not listed, don't worry! We have the capability to work with many other materials to manufacture your precision parts, ensuring the best solution for your project.
