%T Metal injection molding (MIM) of titanium and titanium alloys
%U 
 
%X Metal injection moulding of titanium and titanium alloys is still rather exceptional, even if strong advantage can be drawn from this technique. High costs and insufficient mechanical properties of the sintered parts are often stated as reasons of some reservation. This chapter shows how these problems can be overcome and how excellent properties can be achieved. The challenges of MIM processing of titanium are pointed out, following by an overview of available powders and feedstocks. Important processing details are shown and a look into current research is taken.
