Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. The researchers, who are based ...

As the number of biocompatible metals available for injection molding increases, the process is becoming a practical option for manufacturers of implants and surgical instruments. John L. Johnson ...

Powder injection molding (PIM) is a growing technology that uses multiphase systems, known as feedstocks, with conventional thermoplastic technology to form complex net shapes, with high volumes and ...

Metal and ceramic components are essential due to their specific properties, including hardness, thermal and electrical conductivity, high temperature, and corrosion resistance. Among the available ...
