Why ChooseStainless Steel?MIM applications benefit greatly from stainless steels, which boast outstanding mechanical and physical properties due to their pre-alloyed or elementally blended composition.

Consider stainless steel when your metal parts call for:

  • Higher densities
  • Improved strength
  • Improved toughness
  • Ductility
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Machinability
  • Weldability
  • Hygienic properties
  • Aesthetic appeal
  • Austenitic, ferritic, and precipitation hardening grades

Alloy Properties and Applications
15-5 PH
15-5 PH
15-5 PH is a precipitation-hardened martensitic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strong mechanical properties.
420 Nb
420 Nb
This martensitic stainless steel offers excellent hardness, mechanical properties, and good corrosion resistance, with a carbide-former that aids in secondary forming operations.
MIM-316L
MIM-316L
MIM 316L, an austenitic grade, is used for applications requiring exceptional corrosion resistance.
MIM-420 (HIP and Vacuum Heat Treated)
MIM-420 (HIP and Vacuum Heat Treated)
MIM-420, a martensitic grade, combines high strength, hardness, and wear resistance with moderate corrosion resistance.
MIM-440C (HIP and Heat Treated)
MIM-440C (HIP and Heat Treated)
MIM 440C is a martensitic stainless steel known for its excellent strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
MIM-17-4 PH (As Sintered)
MIM-17-4 PH (As Sintered)
MIM 17-4 PH is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that balances corrosion resistance and strength, is magnetic, and can be hardened to different levels through aging heat treatment.
MIM-17-4 PH (Heat Treated)
MIM-17-4 PH (Heat Treated)
MIM 17-4 PH stainless steel is used for applications requiring high strength and hardness.
MIM-17-4 H900
MIM-17-4 H900
MIM 17-4 H900 is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that balances corrosion resistance and strength.
MIM-17-4 H1100
MIM-17-4 H1100
MIM 17-4 H1100, like MIM 17-4 H900, is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that balances corrosion resistance and strength.
