The powder injection moulding (PIM) process is an efficient method for the high volume production of shaped components from powders. PIM is a derivative of polymer injection moulding and uses much of ...

Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method for powder injection molding of titanium and similar materials to form components for ...
