Abstract
It has gone already 1.5 decade, since the MIM⋅Process had been introduced as a new noteworthy Powder Metallurgical Technology in US., APMI & PMIF had established MIM Assoiation in 1987. In general MIM Process has many superiorities in products; free in geometry; considerable productivity; high material qualities due to the high sintered density by using fine quality powders. In the otherhand MIM Process has some important demerits such as: troublesome debindering: limited dimensional accuracy caused by large sintered shrinkage: weight limitation and price problems of products because of expensive raw material powders. Here it is important to develope the MIM Process, to reconsider the metal powders and the sintering, refering past studies, standing back to the original point of Powder Metallurgy. Initial consideration is begun from the classification of recent MIM products, and are added some recomendations for the developement of Metal Injection Molding as the conclusion.
