Metal Injection Molding in the automotive industry

The automotive sector has become a major consumer of Metal Injection Molded parts. High strength, high complexity parts are used in engines, gearboxes, turbochargers, locking mechanisms, steering systems and electronic systems, to name just a few.

Metal Injection Molding Typical Applications - Automotive Industry

A large number of powder injection molding parts for automotive, such as blow:

1, MIM engine parts

In order to improve fuel economy and control emissions, the working conditions of automotive engines have become more severe. The use of powder metallurgy valve seats, valve guides, VCT and sprockets, etc., can have high strength, high wear resistance and excellent heat resistance.

2、MIM Transmission components

The world's first clutch hub was made by combining an almost molded synchronous gear ring with a dual friction material and a high-strength material. In addition, high strength parts, such as handle shift gears and shift forks, are manufactured by high temperature sintering.

Powder metallurgy transmission parts in automobiles mainly include: synchronizer hubs, synchronizer rings, stop parts, shift column parts and joysticks.

3、MIM Shock absorber parts

In the shock absorbers of automobiles and motorcycles, the piston rod and piston guide valve are important parts. Considering the stable damping force of shock absorbers, the use of powder metallurgy parts with high-precision sheet surface can reduce friction, ensure handling stability and enhance ride comfort.
