Characterization of optimal powder loading for metal injection moulding (MTM) / Muhammad Fatah @ Fadullah Abbas

Metal injection moulding (MM) is a relatively new manufacturing process for the large scale net shape forming of high integrity and multifunctional metal parts. Actually, this type of process is very new in Malaysia and still not applied commercially in industry. Because of many processing steps inv...

description Metal injection moulding (MM) is a relatively new manufacturing process for the large scale net shape forming of high integrity and multifunctional metal parts.
