Core tip: injection of aluminum alloy powder (Aluminium alloy injection moulding, referred to as AIM) is a new forming technology of aluminum alloy.
Injection of aluminum alloy powder (Aluminium alloy injection moulding, referred to as AIM) is a new forming technology of aluminum alloy.
It is similar to the technology of metal powder injection molding (MIM), powder injection molding (PIM) is a main branch of technology, are from the development and technology of injection molding, is the current international development of aluminum alloy parts processing technology is the fastest, the most widely used.
AIM is the first powder and binder are mixed evenly, then the mixture through a granulator, then injected into the mold cavity to complete the required shape. Mixed melt by heating with good fluidity, which helps in injection molding, and can fully keep product density uniformity. After forming the products also need degreasing and sintering furnace for sintering, some products are also some post processing.
This advanced technology is suitable for high volume, a variety of complex shape parts production, including some extremely complex three-dimensional shape, and the production of products without machining or only a small amount of processing, the production cost is greatly reduced, and the working efficiency is greatly improved.
Because of the injection process are accurate temperature and pressure of injection molding products, so it has high precision and very uniform density.
Technology can produce complex parts injection of AIM aluminum alloy molding, micro parts can be processed 0.1g minimum; products uniform structure, high accuracy, smooth surface; and the production of stable quality, high production efficiency, suitable for mass production.
Because AIM in precision and work efficiency shows machining incomparable advantages, it has been applied to navigation, machinery, automobile, precision instruments and other industries. With the continuous development of the machinery industry, at present AIM has become the world aluminum alloy processing technology development field of aluminum alloy parts processing quickly, get more and more favored industries.
