BASF launches new product range for metal injection molding
Date：[2023/12/14]
Basf recently launched two Catamold < products for the metal injection molding industry: Catamold < 17-4PHK and Catamold < 316LK. These two cost-effective stainless steel feeds can help metal injection molding manufacturers to produce metal parts of the same quality and performance at significantly reduced costs.
Thanks to the new formulation, BASF has improved the efficiency of the production process. "We want to deliver this economies of scale to our customers," says Matthias Pfeiffer, Ph.D., who manages Catamold < global operations. "With lower raw material costs, customers will be able to explore new markets and enhance their technological competitiveness."
BASF offers these two new products to global customers and can be used in industrial-scale projects; the BASF team of experts will provide technical support to customers from all regions.
In December 2012, Basf announced a new plant in Guanyin, Taiwan, to produce Catamold < feedstuffs, and will start production in the second half of 2013. In addition to the Technical Services Laboratory in Ludwig, Germany, Basf opened a Catamold < Applied Technology Laboratory in Shanghai a few months ago. "These investments reflect Basf's commitment to promote the development of the metal injection molding industry," said Stefan Koser, vice president of Basf's Metal Systems business.
Catamold < is a ready-to-use raw material for the metal powder injection molding (MIM) and ceramic powder injection molding (CIM) industries. The product mix includes low alloy steel, stainless steel, special alloys and ceramics. Catamold is widely used in many fields, especially in electronics, automobile and consumer goods industries. Thanks to Catamold <, parts with very complex geometries can now be processed on conventional injection molding equipment. It makes metals and ceramics as easy to form as plastics, creating new possibilities for the processing of complex parts; in addition, it has outstanding economic and technical advantages, including: high degree of automation, wide range of shapes, near-net-shape manufacturing, excellent mechanical properties and so on.
