A study in the use of optical metrology to analyse the effectiveness of post-processing operations in MIM

摘要

Metal Injection Moulding is a manufacturing process that is highly suited to the production of high volumes of metal parts with complex geometries. However, certain specifications relating to final surface quality (surface roughness) and material quality (density and hardness) cannot always be achieved by MIM processing alone. Different finishing methods may therefore have to be considered as post-processing operations.
