(Step 1)
- Extremely fine (less than 30 micron) elemental or pre-alloyed metal powders are used to produce MIM parts. As compared to traditional PM powders these powders are an order of magnitude smaller. The powders are hot mixed together with thermoplastic binders to produce a homogeneous feedstock. This mixture is then cooled and finely granulated, and the resulting feedstock is inventoried for production use.

 |
| 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.
