Injection Molded And Pressed Ceramics

Ceramic injection molding removing technological barriers for over 100 years from the specialized porcelain labware first made in 1914 to modern electronic devices coorstek uses advanced technology materials and manufacturing capabilities to remove technological barriers for design engineers worldwide.

Injection molded and pressed ceramics.

Ceramic injection molding is an innovative new process at indo mim under a six sigma controlled environment. Ceramic injection molding is ideal for high volume production of complex tight tolerance components. Ceramic injection molding cim is a manufacturing process used to mass produce precision ceramic components with complex geometries. When the start button is pushed the furnace heats up automatically to the programmed press temperature 1 150 c after a 20 minute holding time at this temperature the press procedure was activated and the then plastic glass ceramic material was pressed 0 3 to 0 4 mpa into the mold.

Cim is also a good option when you need to replace plastic and. It is an effective way of manufacturing complex precision components with the highest degree of repeatability and reproducibility. The ceramic injection molding is very suitable for high volume production of complex design with tight tolerances like bonding capillaries. For instance we use alumina toughened zirconia which results in a compound of exceptional toughness hardness and wear resistance.

In addition alumina based products can be used in combination with other materials. 3 1 2 2 micro powder molding. Press molds also known as spring molds can be used to reproduce large quantities of a specific type of ceramics. Micro powder injection molding pim of metals or ceramics is an alternative to fabricate structures of these materials in large series especially in the micron range.

The 4 basic processes of mixing injection debinding and sintering are similar to that of metal injection molding mim. It was only in the 80s and 90s that new applications began to be found for injection molded ceramics as the technology got better and more precise. Furthermore injection molded ceramics made of alumina can be comprised of different purity levels. The cim process gives production engineers and product designers more versatility in the use of ceramics as an alternative material with higher productivity lower manufacturing cost s and improved product performance.

Seeing how ceramics is a very malleable material which can be treated to become very hard and resistant the applications for injection molded ceramics are pretty wide and diverse.
