Stainless Steel 316L MIM Motorcycle Brake Levers Matte Finished Wear Resistant
Popular Stainless Steel Grades for MIM:
1. 304 stainless steel, containing around 18% chromium and 8% nickel, is highly versatile. It offers good corrosion resistance and formability, making it suitable for consumer electronics and general mechanical parts in MIM.
2. 316 stainless steel, with added molybdenum, excels in more corrosive environments like marine and chemical industries. Its enhanced resistance to chlorides makes MIM parts durable in harsh conditions.
3. 410 stainless steel is a martensitic type. With about 13% chromium, it can be heat-treated for high hardness and strength, ideal for MIM components that require wear resistance, such as cutting tools.
4. 17-4 PH, a precipitation hardening stainless steel, combines high strength and corrosion resistance. Aerospace and medical applications often use MIM parts made of it due to their excellent overall performance.
5. 303 stainless steel has improved machinability because of sulfur or selenium addition. It's great for MIM parts needing post-molding machining, like small fasteners.
Advantages of Stainless Steel MIM:
Complex Geometries: Capable of producing intricate shapes that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machining.
High Precision: Delivers tight tolerances and consistent quality for small to medium-sized parts.
Material Efficiency: Minimizes waste compared to conventional machining methods.
Cost-Effective: Ideal for high-volume production of complex parts, reducing per-unit costs.
Superior Properties: Stainless steel MIM parts offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability.
