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.
