MIM/PIM Application: Laboratory Mixer, Compounding, Rheology

Metallic powder and ceramic powder injection molding (MIM/PIM) is a powder metallurgy shaping process, allowing economical production of small components with a complex shape.

This webinar presents useful information on the powder metallurgy shaping process via injection molding.

  • Brief introduction to the powder injection molding (PIM) process
  • Laboratory mixers and their use for compound development
  • Twin-screw extruders including compounding equipment for feedstock production
  • Micro-injection molding, especially small-scale sample preparation for mechanical testing
  • Capillary rheology, viscosity measurements to optimize flow properties

Target audience:
This webinar is intended for all those interested in learning more about these technologies.
