In recent years, metal injection molding (MIM) has been adopted as a process of manufacturing a solenoid valve which is a component of an electronic fuel injector, and PB permalloy component has been commercialized. However, Ni that is an element of PB permalloy is expensive material, and it makes difficult to produce the injector component in low cost. To reduce the production cost, we can use Fe-Cr alloys, although there are few studies on Fe-Cr alloys by MIM process. In this study, Fe-Cr-Si alloy specimens were manufactured by MIM process and the magnetic and mechanical properties were investigated. From these results, we found that high performance Fe-Cr-Si alloy can be obtained by setting Si content to 3% and reducing Cr content.

In recent years, metal injection molding (MIM) has been adopted as a process for manufacturing a solenoid valve which is a component of an electronic fuel injector, and PB permalloy components have been commercialized. However, Ni, an element of PB permalloy, is expensive material, making it difficult to produce the fuel injector component at a low cost. As a solution to this problem, we studied the magnetic and mechanical properties of Fe-Cr-Si alloys by MIM process. These results revealed that the magnetic and mechanical properties were improved by reducing Cr content. However, reducing Cr content is expected to reduce corrosion resistance of the alloys. In this study, Fe-Cr-Si-Mo alloy specimens containing Mo to improve corrosion resistance are manufactured by MIM process, and we investigated the magnetic and mechanical properties. These results revealed that Fe-10Cr-3Si-2Mo alloy is a material with an excellent balance between magnetic and mechanical properties.

Metal injection molding (MIM) is a near net shape manufacturing technique for producing small, complex, precision parts in mass production. MIM process is manufacturing method that combines traditional shape-making capability of plastic injection molding and the materials flexibility of powder metallurgy. The process consists of the following four steps: mixing of metal powder and binder, injection molding to shape the component, debinding to remove the binder in the component, sintering to consolidate the debound parts. In this research, the physical and mechanical properties of metal injection molded 17-4 PH stainless steel were investigated with the variation of sintering temperatures (1300 °C - 1360 °C) and atmosphere conditions (argon and vacuum conditions). The relative density, microstructure, distortion, and hardness are measured and analyzed in this study. The results show that highest relative density of 87%, relative homogeneous shrinkage and high hardness are achieved by sintering at 1360 °C for 1.5 hours and argon atmosphere. At the same sintering temperature and time, sintering in vacuum shows lower relative density (81%) than that in argon condition due to pores growth. The pore growths were not observed in the argon atmosphere. It can be concluded that sintering stages more rapidly under vacuum condition. The hardness measurements result also showed that high hardness is obtained by high density parts. The optimum average hardness obtained in this study is 239 HV. However, the hardness properties results are still lower than 280 HV according to MPIF Standard 35 for MIM parts.

Inconel 713C alloy was tried to manufacture by using MIM(Metal Injection Molding) process. The high-temperature mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C were also investigated. Processing defects such as pores and binders could be observed near the surface. Tensile tests were conducted from room temperature to 900°C. The result of tensile tests showed that this alloy had similar or somewhat higher strengths (YS: 734 MPa, UTS: 968 MPa, elongation: 7.16 % at room temperature) from RT to 700°C than those of conventional Inconel 713C alloys. Above 800°C, however, ultimate tensile strength decreased rapidly with increasing temperature (lower than casted Inconel 713C). Based on the observation of fractography, initial crack was found to have started near the surface defects and propagated rapidly. The superior mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C could be obtained by optimizing the MIM process parameters.
