An important goal in research and development (R þ D) is to enhance powder injection moulding (PIM) to combine two or more materials with different properties in a single piece manufactured in one process cycle. A further advantage is the considerable reduction of mounting costs.In principle, a certain range of options should be suitable for creating multicomponent products. An important option is two-component PIM which is mainly characterized by a sophisticated sintering procedure taking into account the kinetics of all powder types involved. Investigations into how to fabricate immobile or mobile ceramic shaft-wheel components have been carried out successfully and even metal and ceramic materials can be connected for fixed joints.A further opportunity is opened up by In-mould Labelling PIM which uses powder filled tapes as the first component. Here again particular attention has to be paid to the sintering procedure, but if this is done, samples containing nano-sized powders in the surface area of the whole body can be obtained.

“…The halves were processed by micro powder injection moulding using a feedstock that is a mixture of thermoplastic binder and micro sized particles of the respective material. Balls made from al 2 O 3 were positioned in the still green parts using an automated process as described in Klimscha et al (2014). The other part of the valve was mounted automatically and the samples were sintered using the temperature and pressure functions depicted in Fig.…”
