Metal
Injection Molding (MIM) Process (Step
3)
The green parts are placed in a low temperature oven. The oven is then heated to remove most of the binders from the part by evaporation. When the process is complete it leaves behind a "brown" metal part. Because of the complex run profile of temperature ramps and soak times, the process is microprocessor controlled.

2 |
 |
| Component: DRO Housing |
| Challenge:
This defibrillating resonating oscillator was growing in volume requirements. Traditionally machined because of low quantities, challenges to reduce cost while maintaining precision, hermiticity, and the same co-efficiency of thermal expansion were presented to FloMet.
|
| Solution:
A CTE tailored Fe Ni feedstock was developed for the application. The customer and FloMet worked together to create a part with minimum weight. No machining, incorporation of additional features that had been separate assembly parts attained a superior level of Tekna Seal finished hermeticity.
