Ti 6-4 and other Titanium alloys have great potential for Metal Injection Molding of high performance parts. Markets like Automotive, Aerospace, 3C and sporting goods can benefit from the low density and high strength of Titanium. A new feedstock has been developed that incorporates pre-alloyed Ti 6-4 and discrete additions that simplify MIM processing and enhance properties. Processing and sintering parameters are presented together with mechanical and metallurgical properties of completed parts.
