Investigations on metal injection molding of 316L SS using Thermoplastic Natural Rubber (TPNR) binder as a new system

Metal injection molding (MIM) is a near net-shape manufacturing technology that is capable of mass production of complex parts cost-effectively. The unique features of the process make it an attractive route for the fabrication of the new binder system since the success of MIM process is dependen...
