Materials
Zastata uses a variety of materials for Metal Injection molding process to produce various types of products. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. The kind of material used to mould the part mainly depends on its application and utilization.
These metals are chosen for their resistance to wear and corrosion, as well as their strength and hardness.
Ferrous Alloys – steels, stainless steels, tool steels, iron-nickel magnetic alloys, Thermoplastics are the most used materials in injection moulding because they are easy to use and versatile.
Stainless Steel – Used for its ability to corrosion resistance, durability, withstand high temperatures, easy to recycle.
Tool Steel – Due to its high carbon content, it can be used in high-temperature applications. Can be hardened to increase its wear resistance and toughness.
Tool Steel – Due to its high carbon content, it can be used in high-temperature applications. Can be hardened to increase its wear resistance and toughness.
Non–Ferrous Alloys – Non- Non-ferrous materials like Aluminium, Zinc, Brass, Tombak, Copper, and their respective alloys are also in the MIM for their excellent chemical properties.
Other commonly used metals include Inconel, Kovar, Tungsten Alloys and x-750, all of which exhibit excellent heat and corrosion resistance. Metals with higher melting points or that are difficult to cast, such as alloys of titanium, cobalt, and nickel, can also be sintered using MIM.
Zastata also performs number of inspection methods used in plastic injection moulding, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
There are a variety of inspection methods that can be used to ensure the quality of MIM parts.
- Visual inspection is typically used to check for surface defects, such as cracks, voids, or inclusions.
- X-ray inspection can be used to check for internal defects, such as porosity or voids.
- Ultrasonic inspection can be used to detect defects that are not visible to the naked eye, such as voids, inclusions, or porosity. This method is particularly useful for checking thin-walled parts.
- Magnetic particle inspection can be used to detect surface and subsurface defects in ferrous metals. This method is typically used for checking for cracks, inclusions, or voids.
- Eddy current inspection can be used to detect surface and subsurface defects in non-ferrous metals. This method is typically used for checking for cracks, inclusions, or voids.
- Thermographic inspection can be used to detect differences in the thermal conductivity of a material, which can be an indication of a defect. This method is particularly useful for detecting cracks, voids, or inclusions in metals.
By using a combination of these methods, it is possible to detect a wide range of defects, ensuring that parts meet the highest standards of quality prior to use. Zastata can help them produce reliable components for a variety of industries.

Other Types of Casting
Whilst Pressure die casting is a widely used casting method for high-volume production, there are other casting methods that have their merits
Advantages:
The MIM process is typically used for small, intricate parts such as golf club heads and medical implants. However, it can also be used to produce larger parts such as car body panels.
Common applications for MIM parts include Bio-medical devices, automotive parts, and firearms components. It has been used to produce a wide range of components for fields as varied as aerospace, electronics, and consumer products.
- In the biomedical field, are using MIM to produce components used in jaw and hip joint replacements and surgically implanted stents.
- Areas like automotive suspension, engines, powertrain, stabilizers, turbochargers, and wheels, MIM is proving to be a highly cost-competitive alternative.
- In the aerospace industry, metal injection moulding is producing components for a wide range of aircrafts, including both commercial and military.
- Components like rocket engine fuel nozzles, jet engines nozzles, thrust reversers, instrument panels, and other subsystems.
Overall, MIM offers unique advantages over traditional manufacturing processes due to its cost-effectiveness and its ability to create intricate parts with tight tolerances. By carefully manipulating the composition of the powdered metal and binders, MIM can save time and money while still producing complex parts with complex features.
Zastata ensures that parts manufactured out of metal Injection moulding process meet the drawing specifications without any deviations and ensures smooth transitioning from samples to production stage of the supply chain process.
