DSH Technologies can increase your MIM product output, ask us how.  We can provide research and development services as well as being your source for extra sintering capacity.  Well equipped with two Elnik MIM 3000 furnaces and a metallography lab with carbon and oxygen analysis in house to compliment the experience in binder systems and metal injection molded product techniques, DSH is ready to tackle any of your needs.  From finding that added material property for a specific application to providing additional sintering capacity, we can be your partner for growth and prosperity.  DSH also specializes in process optimization to help you cut unnecessary time and effort from your processes.

We are often asked how we can provide these services and why.  Our sister company, Elnik Systems, manufactures furnaces specially designed to efficiently thermally debind and sinter any commercially available feedstock on the market.  We at DSH have learned to optimize the ability of these furnaces and the use of partial pressure atmosphere not only to improve times and efficiency, but also to improve various product characteristics.  Having a background in feedstock development and specializing in binder removal and sintering, our staff can support your growing needs.  With the ability to characterize microstructure and obtain density, carbon and oxygen content data in house we have the talent and equipment to increase your efficiency and production yields as well as help you overcome the difficulties found with unique alloy and binder development.  We strive to make your products better and you more efficient.

For production needs DSH operates an Elnik MIM 3045. This furnace provides 3,840 square inches of load space (2.48 sq. m) with 1 1⁄2” (38 mm) shelf spacing.  Six zones of temperature control and atmosphere flexibility make this workhorse furnace perfectly suited to high dimensional precision parts made in nearly any metal injection molded alloy with any commercial binder system on the market today.  The production capacity can nearly be doubled to about 6,900 square inches (4.45 sq. m) via creative stacking for certain part geometry.  This furnace produces parts on a weekly and monthly basis for some customers.  We will quote the use of this furnace for one time use as well as for continuing production on a monthly or annual basis.

For research and development needs DSH utilizes an Elnik MIM 3002.  This furnace utilizes 1,848 square inches of load space (1.19 sq. m) with 1 1⁄2” (38 mm) shelf spacing.  With atmospheres including partial pressure nitrogen, argon, air, hydrogen, and mixed gases as well as high vacuum this furnace is well equipped for product development and feedstock work as well as process time improvement and nearly any other debinding or sintering developmental work.  This furnace is used regularly for binder/alloy development, process development, proof of concept research, and process optimization.

DSH can also, on a part by part basis, provide cycle shortening and improvement techniques to give our customers the most processing for their time and money. This specialized service is unique to the sintering industry as it lets our customers prove cycles to obtain carbon levels and densities as well as material properties in versatile equipment before bringing the process in house tying up valuable production time and resources.
