Standard Specification for Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Ferrous Materials

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers ferrous metal injection molded materials fabricated by mixing elemental or pre-alloyed metal powders with binders, injecting into a mold, debinding, and sintering, with or without subsequent heat treatment.

1.2 This specification covers the following injection molded materials.

1.2.1 Compositions:

1.2.1.1 MIM-2200, low-alloy steel

1.2.1.2 MIM-2700, low-alloy steel

1.2.1.3 MIM-4605, low-alloy steel

1.2.1.4 MIM-4140, low-alloy steel

1.2.1.5 MIM-316L, austenitic stainless steel

1.2.1.6 MIM-17-4 PH, precipitation hardening stainless steel

1.2.1.7 MIM-420, ferritic stainless steel

1.2.1.8 MIM-430L, ferritic stainless steel

1.3 Chemical composition limits are specified in Table 1.
