Molybdenum Metal Injection Molding Powder Type I
Elmet Technologies manufactures Molybdenum Metal Injection Molding Powder Type I, known as MIMP Type I, with high purity and lower oxygen. This high purity powder is engineered from our premium molybdenum powder. MIMP Type I powder boasts an outstanding purity of 99.95% or higher, with its key feature being lower oxygen content. This makes it an ideal powder and material for precision applications such as paste production and metal injection molding.
Molybdenum Metal Injection Molding Powder Type I is essential in manufacturing a wide range of high-performance components, including magnets, bearings, filters, and engine or transmission parts. At Elmet Technologies, our advanced manufacturing processes deliver consistent, high-quality material specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of intricate, precision-driven production.

Molybdenum Metal Injection Molding Powder Type I
We offer molybdenum MIMP Type I powder, a high-quality metal powder produced through the advanced ADM molybdenum powder process. The ADM process begins with precise handling in a rotary or pan furnace, creating the intermediate product, MoO2. This is then further refined through an additional furnace cycle to produce MoMP grade powder. The final result is Molybdenum Metal Injection Molding Powder Type I, a high-performance powder.
With expertise in molybdenum production, Elmet Technologies provides custom solutions for your specific applications. From high-quality MIMP Type I powder to specialized molybdenum products, we deliver performance and precision.

Metal Injection Molding Process
Metal injection molding (MIM) enables the production of metal parts with intricate geometries. Using MIM to shape both heavy and light metals ensures optimal quality. Elmet Technologies ensures that MIM parts meet the highest quality and performance standards.
Step 1
We blend metal powders with wax and polypropylene binders to form a “feedstock” mix. We inject this into molds using advanced plastic injection molding machines, and eject the cooled “green part.”
Step 2
Methods like solvent extraction, thermal furnaces, catalytic processes, or a combination remove a portion of binder materials.
This creates a porous and delicate “brown” part with about 40% air content.
Step 3
The “brown part” is heated near its melting point in a protective furnace, where capillary forces densify the particles. Liquid phase sintering is often used to enhance bonding through partial melting.
Step 4
The final product achieves properties comparable to annealed parts. Post-sintering treatments like plating, annealing, and carburizing ensure compatibility with standard metal processes.
MIMP Type I Powder: Applications & Benefits
- Used across industrial, medical, dental, firearms, aerospace, and automotive industries.
- It performs as well as other methods, offering excellent dimensional accuracy with standard tolerances of ±0.3%. If tighter tolerances are required, machining can achieve them.
- Ideal for producing parts where traditional methods fall short.
- Excels at creating intricate components, such as watch cases, phone connectors, and laptop hinges, with up to 75 dimensional specifications for items as small as 25mm and 10g.
- Reduces material waste common in traditional metalworking. Perfect for complex parts made from expensive alloys, such as cobalt-chrome, 17-4 PH stainless steel, titanium, and tungsten carbides.
- Handles challenging electromagnetic interference shielding with specialty alloys, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.
