Magnetic materials represent another broad field for the application of injection molding technology.

In recent years, metal injection molding technology has been developing mainly in two directions:

1. The expansion of applicable material systems;
2. The development of highly reliable production equipment that meets the requirements of unique binders and debinding processes.

In addition, the material system is also expanding in multiple directions. As an ideal near-net-shape forming technology, injection molding can economically produce parts that are close to their final shape, requiring little or no post-processing after sintering. This technology is becoming increasingly important in the industrial production of precision ceramics, particularly in the fields of carbides, cermets, inorganic non-metallic ceramics, oxide ceramics, and intermetallic compounds.

Taking zirconia ceramic fiber optic ferrules as an example, the use of injection molding technology can significantly reduce subsequent processing time. Since the molded blank already has a through-hole with a certain level of precision, the subsequent grinding workload is only one-third to one-quarter of that required for traditional extrusion forming, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
