FloMet MIM process delivers soft magnetics comparable to wrought materials.


DELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 4, 1994--Now designers have a new tool for many soft magnetic applications.

The FloMet Metal Injection Molding The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

 to be used as true engineering materials. Until recently these alloys were seldom used for two reasons: extreme brittleness Brittleness

That characteristic of a material that is manifested by sudden or abrupt failure without appreciable prior ductile or plastic deformation.
, making them difficult to form and their costs, making machining economically unattractive. Both problems are solved using FloMet's MIM technology.

FloMet's MIM processing delivers complex three-dimensional shapes by using tooling similar to plastic injection molding injection molding
n.
A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
. The net-shape geometry achieved in molding eliminates the need to bend, stamp or forge these unforgiving materials. Further processing will densify the product to greater than 96% of the theoretical density.

With very low levels of residual carbon nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur remaining after processing, the high purity and high density end product produces magnetic properties comparable to wrought materials. Now designers in a variety of industries have a new tool that until recently has only been on their wish list.
