A definite competitive edge in their industry.
The 2,200 sq. m facility in Singapore is
home for the pioneering experts who developed and commercialised
MIM / CIM / CoIM in Asia. The specially designed and advance
machinery and equipment provide the highest level of precision
controls while allowing a capacity of 40,000 Metal and Ceramic
parts per day. We bring Ceramet closer to you through effective
interaction, modern communication and periodic visits.
Our Technology: shaping
powders by injection moulding
METALS-CERAMICS-COMPOSITES
The technology is an elegant blend of fine
particle science, polymer science, theory of advanced low
and high pressure injection, high - energy diffusion science,
material science and metallurgy. Fine particulate materials
are blended to form the design alloy, while the particle size
distribution is matched to the design and sintering characteristic
of the component. The high surface energy fine particles are
thermally activated to form bonding necks between them. The
shape retention is transferred from the binder to the necks,
prior to the complete removal of the polymeric binder system
from the moulded green body. The bonds are strengthened and
grown into full density structure during the high energy diffusion
sintering, The result is the transformation of powder into
a full density, net shape, high precision complex metal or
a ceramic or composite component with multiple design properties.

The MIM / CIM materials have pesudoplastic
behavior in contrast to plastics which are Newtonian fluids.
As such the injection system has been modified to suit the
rhelogical properties of MIM/CIM feedstock. Moving further,
the cavity steels for MIM have been bench marked. The venting
systems and the thermal management systems have been redefined
noting the high thermal conductivities and the binder systems
of the MIM/CIM feedstock. These collectively defines Ceramet's
leading and unique MIM / CIM technologies and capabilities.
