Shift Lever

This extremely high volume MIM component is part of a passenger car’s manual transmission.

The component is shown in the various manufacturing stages: moulded, sintered, hardened, and assembled with a shaft.

The material is Fe-2% Ni. The part is case hardened after sintering.

MIM processing, thanks to the finely dispersed powders used, delivers parts with a very homogeneous microstructure, which improves significantly on the microstructure of an investment cast product
