The alumina injection molding process consists of four vital steps that ensure maximum end-product quality, durability, and suitability for client’s purposes:
- Tool designing and manufacturing: First, experts design and manufacture molding tools necessary for producing the part required by the customer.
- Injection molding: Engineers design custom injection molding cycles necessary for producing the adequate component.
- Sintering/de-binding: This part of the process involves the removal of the feedstock binder material present in the molded part. Then, the part without binder undergoes the sintering process to become fully dense.
- Post-sintering: Finally, different post-sintering procedures, such as drilling, honing, or grinding, ensure the product perfectly matches client’s specifications and requirements.
