MIM (Metal-injection Molding) TITANIUM SINTERED PRODUCTS
Overview
Titanium (Ti)
is a high-density strength, highly pliant, highly corrosive-resistant
material, which in recent years is seeing ever-growing demand. On
the downside, titanium is a difficult material to process and also
an expensive one. We have applied the fruits of our 10-year track
record in metal injection molding (MIM) technology in the development
of MIM Ti sintering products.
1. MIM Process
By assigning high thermal conductivity to high-strength,
highly pliant Si3N4 ceramics,
we have drastically improved the reliability of the semiconductor
module. In doing so, we have realized a new type of model structure
not possible with conventional aluminum materials and aluminum
nitride.

2. Features of MIM Titanium Sintered Parts
(1) Configurations
In forging, it becomes possible to manufacture intricate, near-net shaped sintered products.
(2) Features of Sintered Objects
With a relative density of 97%, the structure of the sintered object is sufficiently advanced.

The mechanical features rival JIS 3-type welding materials
(Chart 1). Furthermore, ruptures seen in stretch tests show
ductile fatigue fractures that exhibit sufficient tractility.

| MIM Ti Sintered Parts | JIS3-type Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Relative density (%) | 97 | 100 |
| Elasticity (NPa) | 600±20 | 480~620 |
| Growth (%) | 21±2 | ≧18 |
| 0.2% durability (NPa) | 310±39 | ≧345 |
| Hardness (Hmv) | 240±29 | |

Now, with the Titanium alloy MIM, it has become possible
to respond to the demand for high-strength products that have
a degree of hardness.
