Metal injection moulding (MIM) has been widely recognised as an advanced technology for the fabrication of complex-shaped, low cost and high performance components. Fine powders, less than 20 micron in diameter, are mixed with suitable thermoplastic binder and formed into the desired shapes. The binder aids the flowability and formability of fine metal powders during moulding, and they have to be removed in the next stage to enable high density components to be produced. The removal of the binder is done either thermally in the furnace or by solvent extraction. Ideally, the removal of the binder would open up pore channels which allow accelerated removal of the higher boiling point components. The components are sintered following the debinding stage. This stage is crucial to the MIM process as appropriate sintering conditions would ensure pore-free structures that have good mechanical properties (German, 1990; German and Bose, 1997)
