Tensile Strength: 1,190 MPa (172,000 psi)
This part was previously manufactured by conventional machining processes that were pushed to the limit to produce the complex shape. Metal Injection Molding (MIM) resulted in a cost savings of greater than 50%, plus the customer received consistent quality and on-time delivery—something lacking from the previous supplier.
