Stainless Steel Fasteners: Types, Grades, and Uses What Are Stainless Steel Fasteners and Their Types? When you’re building or fixing anything—from furniture to outdoor projects to boats—stainless steel fasteners (or ss fasteners) are usually the safest bet. They’re tough, resist rust extremely well, and come in all kinds of options like bolts, nuts, washers, studs, and specialty screws. At the end of the day, stainless steel fastners are essentially low-carbon steel with at least 10% chromium added, and it’s this chromium that provides the corrosion resistance everyone relies on. That’s why grades like 304 (general use) and 316 (marine use) are so popular. For harsher environments such as marine work, […]

Powder Injection Molding (PIM) for Precision Metal Parts What Is Powder Injection Molding and How Does It Work? Powder Injection Molding (PIM)—also known as powder injection moulding—is essentially the metal or ceramic version of plastic injection molding. Instead of using polymer pellets, the process uses a mixture of fine metal powder + binder, creating an injectable feedstock that can be molded into complex shapes. The workflow is straightforward but highly engineered: Feedstock compounding – Metal powder and polymer binders are mixed to form injection molding powder. Injection molding – The feedstock is injected into a mold using a powder molding machine or metal injection molding machine. Debinding – The binder is removed through […]
The 8 Most Common Questions about metal injection molding – Asked and Answered How does metal injection molding compare to other manufacturing methods? Metal injection molding (MIM) combines the design freedom of plastic injection molding with the strength of metals, making it perfect for high-precision parts that are tough to produce with CNC machining or die casting. It excels at producing complex, net-shape components—even sub-gram parts that fit in your palm. MIM delivers intricate shapes with strong mechanical properties and consistent quality at high volumes, while simpler parts remain cheaper with press-sinter, turning, or stamping. For businesses aiming to cut waste, boost efficiency, and reliably make precision components, MIM is […]
