Fusing the World of Particulate Materials
MPI is the world's leading expert in making complex, net or near-net shaped parts from difficult-to-shape materials made by the powder injection molding (PIM).
The primary focus of MPI is the market of materials such as hardmetals including cemented carbides and cermets, refractory metals and some specialty alloys.
We make complex shaped parts and custom tools and wear parts for industrial use. Using the advanced technology of PIM, we fabricate custom designed parts and tools that are difficult to manufacture by traditional material shaping techniques. When it comes to manufacturing of complex shaped parts from advanced materials, especially hardmetals, PIM has no equal in terms of sophistication and result. Our PIM parts are typically less expensive in the long run, and more durable than similar machine manufactured products made from even the most hardened grades of steel.
Which makes them your best solution when you need custom parts and tools for a project.

Our World Leadership In Technology
Powder Injection Molding We are world leaders in working experience with low and medium pressure powder injection molding (PIM) to produce near-net shaped specialty parts from a variety of advanced materials. Our current manufacturing is geared toward processing of complex shaped hardmetals, cermets and some ceramics.
Tungsten Carbide and Hardmaterials For use in industrial cutting tools, a variety of nozzles with intricate internal geometries, abrasive water jets, mining operations and related abrasive wear operations, sand blast nozzles, various wear parts in centrifuges, etc. Tools manufactured using tungsten carbides offer an excellent combination of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance that is not available in most engineered materials. Our focus areas include the near net shape processing of conventional WC-Co based hardmaterials and other advanced superhard material systems including cermets and composites based on a variety of ultra high hardness materials and coatings for wear and abrasion related applications. Using various PIM production methods, specialty ultrahard materials and wear parts are commercially produced at our facilities for clients around the world. Several superhard powder grades are under continuous research and development as the properties are improved and enriched.
High Energy Milling and Mechanical Alloying (HEM) MPI has the expertise in the area of high energy milling to produce a variety of exotic non-equilibrium alloys and composites. MPI has a two-liter Simoloyer machine built by Zoz. This type of horizontal rotating HEM machine is used in the production of naocrystalline and amorphous materials, oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys, metal-matrix and ceramic-matrix composites and numerous non-equilibrium alloys with unique property combination.
Tungsten Heavy Alloys - MPI has some of the leading technical expertise in the area of tungsten heavy alloys which are currently finding applications in the areas of counterweights, gyroscopes, long rod penetrators, radiations shields, golf clubs, electrical contact materials, etc. Some W-Cu materials are used for controlled thermal expansion alloys with a good thermal conductivity.

Powder injection molding (PIM) is a relatively new material shaping technology.
The process takes the shaping advantages of plastic injection molding and extends the material capability to other engineering materials such as metals, alloys and ceramics. The process uses a small amount of organic binder with the desired amount of inorganic powder to create a moldable feedstock that can be formed into complex shapes by methods similar to that of plastic injection molding. After molding, the organic portion is extracted and the shaped part is consolidated to near full density by a thermal process known as sintering. The part undergoes significant amount of shrinkage, which is designed into the tooling. In some cases it is necessary to carry out post-sinter grinding or polishing operations.
