Special injected-metal-assembly (IMA) method reduces costs as it improves quality, performance, and productivity

A special injected-metal-assembly (IMA) method reduces costs as it improves quality, performance, and productivity. The company replaces medical assembly joining operations such as welding, soldering, press fitting, crimping, and the like, with a molten zinc alloy as an adhesive but without the peeling and thermal degradation issues of traditional methods. IMA has good stress-distribution properties and performs well in harsh environments. Molten zinc alloy cures in milliseconds, ensuring close tolerances and part-to-part consistency over large volumes.
