The process of metal injection molding involves forcing powdered metal feedstock into a cavity mold while under pressure. This tooling mold uses two hardened dies made from steel that has been machined into the exact shape of the component. This process usually involves stainless steel alloys, but can be used with other metals as well. Metal injection molding is similar to injection molding, but uses powdered metal instead of molten plastic as a feedstock. Continue Reading

Silver electroplating, or silver plating as it’s commonly referred to, is a finishing process in which a thin layer of silver ions (Ag+) is deposited onto a substrate of a metal through electrolysis.
