Advantages of using 4SP -10 in Metal Injection Molding

4SP-10 mirrors the size and shape of the carbonyl iron powder used in MIM and therefore allows for its uniform distribution throughout the alloy composition. Other advantages of using 4SP-10 for MIM applications include: ;

  • Narrow particle size distribution.
  • Tap density over 50% of theoretical.
  • Spherical powder shape for maximum packing density.
  • Low surface area.
  • Does not contain agglomerates.
