What is the average density of MIM parts?
Generally after the sintering stage the theoretical density of the components we produce will be controlled within the range of 95 – 98% dense. To be gas tight, i.e. to have no interconnected porosity, the density of a component needs to be above 91-92% dense. Parts that we make are currently used in gas analysis and hermetic packaging where the drawings have very stringent tolerances on porosity.
